DISCOVERING A COMMON THREAD BETWEEN MY HEALTH GOALS & THE ASUS EEEBOOK X205TA!

2015 is the year that I've once again earmarked towards achieving my health,fitness and wellness goals.Thus sitting like a couch potato in front of the television or my home PC or indulging in any dormant activity for insane number of hours is now a thing of the past!It's not that I have stopped watching television or surfing the internet altogether-but I just thought that it high was time I struck a perfect balance in my life in an endeavor to become sleek,presentable and powerful, just as the ASUS EeeBook X205TA!

Thus Slim, Sleek and Slender...are the magic words which are in my health glossary these days that I am striving to achieve in the health regimen I've laid out for myself.For starters,I look around my room and daily accessories for some inspiration to get me motivated towards achieving my health goals.My slim and sleek smartphone,ipad mini, and flat-screen plasma television are among the few gadgets which serve as an inspiration that have their designs gradually working on me!Come on,let's admit it...it's not merely the latest configurations of modern day gadgets that inspire us but it's also their design and looks that make them all the more desirable!Would you be tempted to taste a cake if it looked drab and uninspiring to start with?!

ONCE UPON A "PIMPLE"... : A FLASHBACK TO THE REAL STORY!

The Neem concoction that looked something like this!
Once upon a time when we had the wise old lady of the house who was my granny of course,I would lean on her for any advice related to health, wellness and fitness(yep,you heard that right!).She was quite active till the end-going to the bazaars,cooking food, tending to legal matters etc. So when I had a home doctor in her,I could just close my eyes and safely rely on the home remedy she had to offer from her magic box of ideas for she was someone in whom I could secretly confide on any health problems I faced.So as a child when I had tummy upset,she would give me a couple of bananas to eat and make a tempting glass of ginger ale for me! And when I had boils on my skin,she would prepare a Neem concoction(I don't know how and where she found these miracle leaves in a city,but she did...like I said she loved going to the local markets).Though this concoction was difficult to gulp down my throat,but when the bait was a bar of chocolate ...then what was the fuss! :-) My granny was truly a health police when it came to tackling criminals like stomach ache,boils,hair fall,dandruff etc.Thus, today I miss her all the more!

A GIRL'S FIRST VALENTINE FOREVER: ON MAKING IT SPECIAL!

I truly believe that Valentine's Day is a day to be cherished with those whom you love dearly and hold close to your heart be it your spouse,boy/girl-friend,parents,grandparents etc.Thus this Valentine's Day while everyone chronicles about the exclusive celebrations and plans they have in store for their spouse or that special someone in their life...my plans would be tad different from the rest because for me the search is still on! And while I enjoy my singledom until that special someone comes riding on the horse and sweeps me away from my feet,I shall celebrate this Valentine's day like every year with the first man in every girl's life - her hero,her first crush,her BFF - my Father.
