Its never too late
I was watching Brothers and Sisters last night and this quote was narrated at the end of the episode “Its never too late to be what you might have been.” I love it!
We like procrastinating and postponing things that we think can wait. And most of the time they can. “I will travel to Paris when I make my first million, I will settle down once I have a stable job….” we plan our lives around time and faith. Am not a very patient person. I am one of those who live by the words, life is too short so do it now. I obviously don’t get to do it as soon as I want but I try to do those things that I want as soon as I can. I look as life like we are all dying….and we just don’t know when we will leave this world. And even though we plan, sometimes we don’t get to see those things pass. So it brings me to this, that one thing or two that you really want to do, it might be climbing mt Kilimanjaro or taking a trip to Vegas, I suggest you do it. We always recover and learn. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone open up your mind. Stop slaving 8 hours a day just to pay bills. Do something exciting with your life. Its never too late. You always wanted to be an artist, do it now! You have the power to change situations and be what you always wanted to be, experience what you always wanted. Make a wish, take a risk make a change.

Why 30 is not the new 20
Clinical psychologist Meg Jay has a bold message for twentysomethings: Contrary to popular belief, your 20s are not a throwaway decade. In this provocative talk, Jay says that just because marriage, work and kids are happening later in life, doesn’t mean you can’t start planning now. She gives 3 pieces of advice for how twenty somethings can re-claim adulthood in the defining decade of their lives.
Transformation is not change
Food for thought
Quote of the week- Inspiration
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
– Golda Meir –
I love that quote. Nobody knows you better than yourself. You know what you want from this world which is a catalog to pick from. So why not choose the best? Be happy. Trust yourself and set sail in the direction of your desires and don’t let anyone stop you. Eyes on the prize. Don’t let the challenges overcome you or take you away from your goal. Remember as said constantly in The best exotic Marigold hotel; Everything will be alright in the end, if its not alright then its not the end. So go out there, do something that you have always wanted to do. Tomorrow exists in our imagination, its a matter of faith. So believe in you.
Am done preaching.
Waza Experience| Never Give up
Waza is one great initiative that I am very proud to be a part of. Teaching children creative thinking gets them into a comfortable place where they think outside the box or even better, like there is no box.
When we got to the school, there were just a few students available. Luckily after we settled some more showed up. We started with an ice breaking game. You could see their minds stirring in the process trying to come up with a name for the action we were performing.
After the game we sat down to get into more ‘serious’ business. The students were tasked with writing down some of their day to day problems. After, we narrowed them down and discussed how to fix or avoid those problems. Very thoughtful ideas were shared. The students were comfortable enough to share with us what adults would call sensitive information. Issues like peer pressure, power and rent issues. In fact, one student shared the same problem as one of the Waza volunteers, waking up late. A few of us know about that too well. It was exciting to see them think through their problems and come up with solutions. Even more inspiring was a writing engraved on one of the desks, “NEVER GIVE UP.”
We ended with a photo session where we all posed and made serious to funny faces. Humbling, inspiring and amazing experience.

Dream and dream it big
Mr.x
I see him every morning walking to work.
I drive, he walks.
Our paths cross daily but I only see him
he has no idea
my existence is beyond a blur
does he sense it? the eyes watching
saw him today, as usual
this time with gloves on
its a chilly morning, and that used to be me
he walks with assurance
he takes his time, marks his steps
almost like he thinks about it before
mr.x
our paths cross daily
and he has no idea I exist.
Lets talk
