The Best Day Ever!

All of us have all kind of days – good, bad, weird, mad, crazy, shining, rainy, and what not! And all these kind of days have absolutely different kind of impact upon us. Some of them leave us totally super charged, while some of them make us totally lazy, some of such days are just about smiling all day long, and some of them leave us with a teary eye; but what makes the biggest difference as to how we feel on a particular day and treat ourselves is the kind of company we have on a given day. The company, the people around us, makes all the difference. No matter how hard a day is on us, having a pal by your side, who has the ability to make you smile no matter what will have you sail through the day, and similarly, merely coming across with someone, whose face should not be even remembered on what you consider to be the happiest day of yours on this planet, will have all the joy and cheerfulness drained out of you in less than a nano second.

It was the last day at college, and with all the excitement to finally having coming across the time when text books can be parted ways with, the heart felt a lot heavy with the thought of having to have part ways with the gang also, because for all these years of college, friends were everything. There was a world of its own within our small gang. Truth has its own way of introducing you to the strangest discoveries. With this thought in head an a heavy heart all of us were wishing each-other best of luck for future and were sharing probably the longest hugs ever, but then there I had by my side the best man of my life – Dad. Its not that it has to be said because he is my father, but because he actually is the best man of my life. He guessed it right in just one go as to what was going in my head and heart, and that I was about to blow up even on the most miniscule topic of this universe just because I had to part ways with my gang, and what was worse was the fact that I was totally helpless about it. He gave me all the space I could have asked for, waited endlessly at the hostel lobby while I was hugging my pillows for one last time before making a final exit from the hostel. And when we drove off from my adobe of half a decade, all of which was running past my eyes like a fast-forwarded movie, he declared that the night is going to be spent me clubbing with my friends, and even having my Dad joining in for club-hopping! What more one could ever ask for!!! And then is when I realized that this is life, and this is the time to #StartANewLife.

When the thundering skies treated me with a custom-made smile...

After the end of a tiring day, especially when one of such days has happened to you at the end of the financial year at your firm, where you have to close all the accounts for the year bidding goodbye, streamline all the contracts for the next financial year, meet deadlines, people and then some important people, attend endless number of meetings, fill yourself up with a cold salad-like working lunch, you know that the day has taken its toll on you; and no matter that you are the one who have been crowned as the “Employee of the Month” and the “Employee of the Year” awards for uncountable number of times, and that you can walk in heels for fourteen hours a days like people walk on wet sand at the beaches, you are tend to be worn out, physically, mentally and sometimes even emotionally too, if your boss has given you a nice lecture on corporate tactics, which was totally un-welcomed.

We all, at one point or the other in life, have had days like these, which all of us hate equally, and just do not want to come across at times, but unfortunately, not all are granted with the wishes asked for, and so, there it was – the dreaded day of the financial year’s end’s closing, and as expected, it was not a very pleasant one, even to start with. Like it is said that well begun is half done, there is also an unsaid version of this saying, and which goes like – A screwed up beginning means a more screwed up end, and perhaps it is this version which is more practical and is commonly applicable to people, at least to people like us. And that was how, the dreaded day was spent, and a generous dosage of an absolutely unnecessary lecture from the same person who has awarded you with the “Employee of the Year” award for the third time (and second time in a row), seems totally out of place and grossly irrelevant. But if this is what destiny has planned for you on a particular day, there is no other way that you are going to have a different way than this.

Having gone through all of this, the moment a step was stepped out of office, it started drizzling, which, in the first place, if does nothing else, makes sure that one is made sure to believe that the next best thing that is going to happen is the Death God arriving to adopt one that very moment, but the same very moment what catches the attention of the eyesight is the poor kids in the street jumping with joy with the droplets of the rainwater touching their faces and they stretching their hands out of the tent feeling those droplets on their palms, which to these set of tired eyes looked like a refreshed way of experiencing life, a new life entrusted to this tired soul by this sudden drizzle in the city which has occurred in the city absolutely out of the blue defying all the weather forecasting apps and perhaps even the meteorological department’s announcements. And the moment those heels were taken off and the perfectly pedicured feet touched the rain water on the ground, the soul was struck with a new strike of hope and optimism for the rest of the days to come and taking them heads on.

Jumping Into The Waters Of Optimism

Each single thing around us, no matter where we are, has a flip side to look at. Some look at one side of the coin, whereas some choose to have a look at the other side. It is one’s own individual way of having his or her point of view about any specific subject matter. It is up to one’s own will and wish as to which side of the subject matter they wish to look upon, but this is what my opinion is that the more one chooses to look at the positive side of things, the more life becomes simple, easy and interesting. It can definitely not be ruled out that though a thing will be having a positive side, there will be no negative side to it; but having a view point about any subject matter with optimism is the key to succeed in life, and that, at the least, has held to be true for me, as per the various experiences I have had in my life.

Since the days of my childhood, I have always been fascinated towards water. I always liked the idea of playing by the beach, or having stops by riversides when Dad used to take us for road-trips, but an unfortunate incident in those early days of my life turned me into a person who started fearing water or rather say, large water bodies, like swimming pools, rivers or seas etc. At a point of time, this fear grew within me, so much so, that when my whole family decided to go on to a week-long super luxurious cruise holiday, I decided to stay back at home, which is pretty much a contradiction of the general behaviour, as to who will ever not be wanting to go on a cruise holiday, and that too of that sort, at all!


Time passed, and with it, surroundings also changed. Our family got to relocate to a new city, a new house, a new society, and around new people. Our new society, where we shifted to, had an in-house swimming pool, where, I would go every evening, sit by it, and just see other people enjoying their time in the water. Some little kids used to play and giggle in the water whilst enjoying their time, whereas others used to give themselves relief from the scorching heat of the city. For some, it was more like a workout regime to stay fit, and some of them used to come there to be trained to swim, either out of hobby or out of their training for pursuing it up professionally. And on one such day, the coach who used to train the people there, came across me and asked that though I am a regular at the pool but why is that I do not jump in to the water, and upon learning that I am a hydrophobic, he promised me that from that day onward, it is his responsibility to make sure that I turn out to be a pro swimmer. This promise of his filled me with great enthusiasm and optimism, and today I pursue swimming as a professional sport.

Let's Break the Fast with the Gupta Family

Breakfast is called the most important meal of the day. According to a survey research, 93% of Americans agree with this idea but unfortunately fewer than half (44%) actually eat or get to eat the breakfast! Reasons for skipping breakfast vary but the most common reasons given are a lack of time or appetite. 
A great deal of research supports the importance of breakfast and shows that breakfast eaters:
  • Are likely to have a lower body weight.
  • Eat more “nutrient-dense” foods and food groups such as dairy, fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains.
  •  Have higher intakes of vitamin D, potassium, calcium, and fiber.
  • Are more alert, impacting both school and work performance.
With all these great reasons to eat breakfast, it seems like everyone would try to eat breakfast on most days. Since time is one of the primary reasons for skipping breakfast, here are some quick ways to include a fast, nutritious breakfast in your morning, even during the most busiest days of your week:
  • Take a few of your favorite cereals and make a breakfast mix of your own creation:  add some dried fruit, almonds or walnuts for an even greater nutritional punch. Add milk or put into a go-cup and eat as a trail mix on your way – or even at – work or school.
  • Make your own whole-grain peanut butter crackers for munching on your way to work or school.
  • Have 100% juice boxes, milk boxes, or drinkable yogurts in the fridge and ready to grab.
  • Breakfast can be leftovers from last night’s dinner:  pasta, pizza, cold chicken will all work.
  • Spread a peeled, sliced banana with nut butter and wrap in a tortilla warmed in the microwave for a tasty, nutritious way to wake up.
  • Keep some higher protein breakfast bars on hand. Pair with a piece of fruit and low-fat or skim milk for some speedy nutrition.
  • Spread a pita with peanut butter and jelly or honey – easy to eat while on the go.
  • Make a smoothie the night before with fresh fruit and yogurt. Pour into glasses and put in the refrigerator. The next morning top the smoothies with some granola for a quick parfait.
Having going through all of the above, do not forget that the tinsel town is abuzz with the news of the Gupta family being in love with the awesome delicacies which Mrs. Gupta prepares for breakfast, and are not only tasty and healthy, but also widely famous across the city, and that too so much so, that everyone in the town wants to get an invite to the Gupta family’s breakfast table. So don’t you want an invite?!

It's all about wind in the hair!

We were born ready, ready to be free
Chasin' every thrill we could see
With our eyes steady, waking to a dream
Aching to be thrown in the ring

If nothing comes easy as long as we're breathing
We'll go all the way or go home
We were born ready, wherever it leads
What we have is all we need

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

We were born hungry, hungry for the rush
Screamin' when they tell us to hush
Hit the ground runnin', leave 'em in the dust
Only run with those we can trust

If nothing comes to us
We'll fly where it's blue as we're ready to face the unknown
We were born hungry, we'll never get enough
'Cause we're only here this once

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

Let's do it again
Let's make it tonight
Yeah let's go until the sky gets lighter

And if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

Let's do it again
Let's make it tonight
Yeah let's go until the sky gets lighter

And if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride
