Some poems I wrote,


At the end of a long day

When my mind is tired
It says goodbye
Wants to shut down
And feel empty
Floats like a fish in the endless water
With every bubble
Release my guilt
And let the waves wash away my sins.

Guilty

I feel the weight, I feel the pain.
Its foreign to me,
I don't know what to do.
get rid of it please,
pleads my inner voice.
I wounded the others heart
and tore mine apart.
I wish, I feel free
remove myself of these binds.
Let me accept, I am guilty.

Doing what you like is freedom, Liking what you do is happiness.

Doing what you like is freedom, Liking what you do is happiness.

What I like? What is my interests,passions? These questions I find very difficult to answer in words. I have many interests, I like many things and I like to do many things. Just because I like doing something doesn't mean I will pursue or do something with the liking. I do it for the happiness.

Many a times I take up a project, take a work but halfway I loose my interest. Is this wrong? I feel guilty and dissapointed when I leave a work undone. I can accept myself. I know I failed and it is part of my learning.

When I take up a topic to learn about, I don't go mad into the topic. I don't go talking about it 24 hours or digging as deep as I want. Why is this, Is it because I don't have the burning need.
There are sooooo many topics to explore in this world. I like touching upon these topics and then leaving them. Then coming back to the topic when I need it. This way I have the exposure.

I am aware of the different possibilities but I don't want to do it.  Many topics I know but I do not learn because I don't want to right now. When I am cooking, I know I can use ratio but I don't use it. I don't feel the need but I know there is something called ratio and I can go it.

Who said that I need to learn maths now, I can learn when I need it.Whoever said all me learning should be done within a certain age.
Maths is only one area in the hundreds of areas I can work on. just because i am not doing maths or science doesn't mean I am not doing something.

When I do what I like and what I want I feel free and confident. I feel happy.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

My Health

Food and Nutrition

Do you Eat to Live or Live to Eat ?

In 4th std I was taught about balance diet. My teacher taught me a lot about food and nutrition. For some reason that lesson has stayed with me. Even thought I know about food and nutrition , I did not bring change in my diet.
 For the past few weeks I have brought out change in my food schedule and diet, thanks to my mother. I am eating more fruits and raw vegetables. My meals are more balanced. 
I am also enjoyed exploring different ingredients, grains and trying new recipes. I even learnt to cook few dishes.The whole experience of understanding food is nice.  I am more aware of the food I am eating and I am liking the taste of healthy food.

In April, 8 months ago I decided to stop drinking Coke and other fizzy soft drinks. This is something my teacher in 4th std had told me to do. I don't know if it is affecting my body, I see no changes in me but I feel nice. I feel good about myself. I am able to control whenever people around me drink and I do not feel pity for myself.

Yoga

I did yoga everyday in the morning this week ( four days). I did it after my parents questioned my lack of physical exercise. I have been exposed to yoga long back and even remember my mother forcing me to do yoga everyday when I was young. It dint last long and I never was able to push my exercise session more few days. I think exercise is very difficult and not at all fun. I am fine without without exercise.
This week I have decided to do Yoga everyday. I am determined and optimistic to keep this exercise plan alive for a long time. Only if I do everyday, I will see changes in my body. 
To do this I changed my way of looking at exercise. I know I am doing it to care for my body and take care of my health. I even enjoyed doing yoga in the morning. While doing it i felt connected to my body. 

Every Tuesday I do fitness training for one hour. It is very fun and enriching. I have learnt a lot about my body and fitness. We do aerobics and I really enjoy doing dance. 
On Tuesday I did fitness training and the next day I woke up with thigh pain. This made me realize my body is not fine without exercise. My body need me to do exercise. Only if i take care I will be fine.
