It's quite a lazy day, just feel like doing nothing today. There's quite some work to catch up with...i wish weekends were longer than usual days. Infact, weekends are equally busier with all the household chores left from the whole week to finish with..
People at home are all chilled out and quite excited about my little nephew's birthday. It's his birthday today, we have done a bit of decoration last night , put up things that will excite a two year old boy .. balloons, teddy bears n soft toys, baby books, lot of lil cars....everything is scattered around all over now. He showed some excitement in the morning and wore a birthday cap, wanted to hit the balloons on the wall with his bat(boys are destructive!!)...So in the evening we'll have a little "Happy birthday" time :)
I guess Shamla has gone to the church today, else she would be here probably writing or doing something else..
Am trying hard to motivate myself to finish little bit of office work, but unable to make up my mind for work..nothing around me motivates me to get to office work today..It's a Sunday, and thank god my mind feels a bit relaxed knowing that it's at home! but I'm also thinking of what will happen tomorrow at office, oh..Monday :(. Might have a sudden surprise of some presentation and end up being unprepared or some deliverable with a deadline of 'yesterday'... even if I think of the worst case scenarios at work...i just wanna let go things and will handle things when they happen....
Think I've learnt not to be overstressed..it's too early to call it the outcome of doing yoga...but yes, I can feel the difference these days..
hmm..wondering what my folks in Kathmandu must be doing, need to speak to them, i think dad should go trekking somewhere up in the high altitude where the mobile signal is the strongest & clear and he'd at least pick my phone..hope my sister's exam went on well...haven't asked her yet. In a way it's good to be student and worry about your tests, results and feel greeeeaaat when you get your marks card and u've cleared with flying colors...Oh, I miss that, but hope my sis comes out yealling in excitement to tell me she's through, fingers crossed!!..
What are my other siblings n cousins and relatives doing? where ever they are... some in the mountains may not be aware of the concept of lazing around b'coz it's a Sunday... we really expect Sunday to be like "Sunday" but it's just another day for them..
So many different people in this world living poles apart, extremely different lifestyle but apparently doing things ..driving similar pleasures in life , doing thousand different things right now!!...i just feel like belonging to the group of people doing nothing today!
So it's the lil ones b'day, and it's one of the most wonderful , adventurous thing to be with the kiddo, so this Sunday should be dedicated for the little one who brightens each day for me and for all of us at home..... may god bless him and make him a smart, very kind, stylish, singer, dancer, footballer and a great human being ... a basket of blessings & love from Anii to my baby!!

Incorporating yoga in life - FINALLY!!!
Yes!!!!!!
We've been practising Yoga for the past 4 days - our goal obviously is to slim down and feel good about ourselves. We do it every morning. Now since it's almost 1AM and I still have some work to finish, it doesn't look like I'll be able to do it tomorrow (or today???) morning :-((( That's the reason I am writing this post - so that I can keep myself motivated to go on. This is an excerpt of the email I sent to Karma on the 2nd day of our Yoga practice :) Makes me feel great!!! -
Advantages of doing some exercise:
1. I am not feeling lazy, tired. I am more active, more awake, more aware. :-)
2. The day seems so long - feels like those good old days when we were kids when the days used to be so long that we could do many things in 1 day. The difference is we dont "do" many things, but this is a good start. we can plan on doing things
3. Due to the pain in the legs, I am constantly reminded of the hard work I'm puting in to get back in shape. That acts as a motivator to stop myself from mindless munching when I'm at home.
4. The pain also made me make up my mind not to eat out atleast for a month - even if it is a simple south indian meal (which i had at office yesterday) since they don't control the oil they add in the cooking
5. Mom gave me Slice to drink and when i was taking each sip, i was feeling guilty coz it was very sweet - so finally drank some 4-5 sips, thats all. so thats good. i m already watching what i eat/drink
6.they say everyone needs to drink 8 glasses of water per day. that was a far out goal for me, coz even when i was determined to drink more water, i could not down more than 3-4 glasses. today i've had 4 glasses of warm water already. and i still have half the day left!!
7. Finally, i could write this wonderful piece with 7 good benifits of exercising :-D
YEAH!!!!!

====================================================================
Yeah!!! finally I've been able to get into Yoga & exercising!! Hurray, that's an achievement...b'coz working out, exercising was really really not my cup of tea ever... At times i would get lil enthu when I'd get inspired by somebody and then 'try' to do something for couple of days and then back to square one..
We have had our endless plans of getting into exercising, losing weight, walking ...and nothing actually materialised. Except we realized that we passed two years just thinking, planing, thinking & planning over n again...
So ...last Friday when I bought the CD for Yoga , i remember my office friend who laughed at me and said..."u r just among many people who buy a yoga CD and that's the end...u will never see it". Though I wasn't sure of really following it, but instantly i said "I bought this yoga CD and that's a good beginning, my first step to get back to healthy body, mind & life".. It has proved to be a good beginning.. :) [it's got Shamala also to wake up at 6am and the benefits to her are listed right up there :)]
Well.. may be we should thank & appreciate the Yoga Guru Ramdev for bringing back the art of yoga to the masses all over that world that was long lost..
I hope Yoga & exercise stays as a part of my life from here on.....

Not enough time...
For the past several months it's been like a prolonged phase of 'No time for anything'. Lets see what are the things I don't have time for ...
No time to have the whole weekend to just relax and laze around..
No time to spend some enough time with my little nephew, no time to play with him, to take care of him....
Had no time to be with the little baby when he was hospitalized and help my sis in law and my aunt when they were also ill. No time for family??? [ This hurts more and I know how guilty it feels for unwillingly giving my work the priority]
No time to look pretty and smart. No time to pamper my hair sometimes. Just manage to dress up with whatever is still in the stock and whatever fits. Well I've heard few comments saying ' You were trendy and smart", not that I don't wanna get back to that state. Even the thoughts make me feel good :)!!
No time to go out for those walks we (Sham n me) had planned.
No time to workout, attend aerobics/ yoga class...there's no time to slim down basically, aah.. some justification!!
No time for any trips and adventure that I have in mind.
No time to watch any new movies, though the new release DVD stocks are lying at home.
No time to just sit idle, doing nothing and chatting with sis in law and laugh about some silly events and things ..
No time to go out with my people at home. [They just went out now a bit upset with me and my bros' comments"Your work never ends"]
No time for blogging my thoughts that come to my mind in the middle of a long office meeting, or during my long journey to my office and back home.
No time for reading the books I bought months and years ago.
No time to fight and quarrel with my brothers ..they might stop calling me Hitler now..
Not enough time to go and be with my family in Kathmandu, not enough time to take care of dad when he falls ill frequently
Not enough time to be with my lil sister and make those memorable sisters' moments in life.
Now, this makes me wonder how worth it is to be compromising on so many things and dedicating most of it to work..
I wish we had more than 24 hours a day considering the world is much more competitive now with lot of things to catch up each day. But If we get 34 hours a day... am sure the IT companies in emerging nations like ours would increase their expected and accepted working hours to 24 hrs!!!
huh!!
