Chocolate box - full of your favourites!

Today, please permit me to talk about a box. An ordinary box to you but to me it is my treasure box (in making). Yes, I'm talking about my blog that holds bits and pieces of my thoughts and thus, is a part of me.

A few people are in the vicinity of this box, but life is fast moving, busy, demanding and challenging so who out of the minority would care to bother what's in someone else's box? Especially, when talking about someone like me – a chatterbox. Hence what's the purpose in possessing this box? There's a probability that it may be of use to someone out there, but that I cannot be sure. Yet I continue to put my reminders, post it notes, to do lists, hobbies, essays, positive thoughts and various little joys there. Reason being, it serves me and acts as a stepping stone towards my higher purpose. Who knows, at times when I may feel less of myself, I could go to my box and get out more of my better self and stick it onto me. It will surely help me pick up myself and move on. And anyway that box has a lot of me in it. I think that box will give my loved ones access to me when I will finally get into 'the other box' at the end of my life story.

If you haven't understood any of it and feel that I've confused you and wasted your precious time talking about some box nonsense, please dance away. Don't box and cause me a virtual black eye! I am very much aware that sometimes I appear to talk in riddles. However, for those who are still with me and my box, it is time you keep a box too. I don't mean you start boxing, blogging, weather reporting or posting quotes like I do. I mean do more than that. Do what resonates with you, refines you, and restores you. Put into your box your goals, ideas, hobbies, passion etc. whether it is an indoor activity, outdoor sports, health regime, business endeavour, travelling, writing, programming, styling, baking, dancing, parenting, painting, learning a new language, yoga or cooking classes to name a few. Whatever it is, it needs to go into that box. The only criterion is that it needs to be something positive, that complements you and adds meaning to your existence. Because when you'll finally retire, pay off the mortgage for your investment property and marry your kids off, this box will be your companion - your mind massage system. And for your loved ones, it will be a mini clone of you.

This is talking ahead. No one has seen the future but we have today and to make it better than yesterday, I urge you to create and maintain this box to reduce stress and increase vitality, joy and all things fun. So get up and grab your ideas, dreams and visions. It has the potential to take you on life's amazing hidden journey. You have the power to create that magic box and it is not too late to begin.

I have presented a box to you in the form of my blog. Now it's time you see your own box. When you'll be too old or wise to enjoy any material possessions, this box will be the only treasure that you may desire. It's the real making of legacy for your children and the next generation. Get started and keep going. Excited? I am! And that's more than enough boxing for now. While it is easy to lead a busy packet soup type life, you put into your box some authentic soup to nurture, heal and share with yourself and all. I hope you experience the joy and peace you are meant to through this.

May peace, light and love be with you.

You Are Not An Illusion

What people see and know of me is superficial. I am none of these illusions! Then who am I? 

I am a tiny star amongst uncountable that are spread across the many galaxies. And this isn't just my story. It is true for all of us as we are all interconnected.

How mesmerizing it is when you think about it! Yet most of us pass over this realm clinging to a narrow thought pattern, too engrossed into one temporary life and believing this one dimensional view to be the absolute reality. The soul laments at this and keeps returning in different vessels with the hope that we will unveil the truth one day. Unaware of this, we mourn at the death of the human body.

Now let me kindly ask, who are you? To say you are your name, gender, age, domestic and professional roles, race, ethnicity, religion, social and marital status and so on would be an understatement. This merely describes you. So, WHO are you? Think about your real self, open your eyes to the bigger picture. None of us took birth by chance, there's a broader objective behind us choosing to turn our formless self to the form we currently possess. Let's recall this, experience peace, and get a glimpse of heaven here and now.

May peace, light and love be with you.

Be the Symbol of Peace

We may be able to comprehend many languages yet not understand the language expressed of love.

We may listen to many speeches yet not hear the speaker’s urge.

We may read many writings yet not comprehend the writer’s yearn.

We may experience many emotions yet not interpret them and learn.

Be conscious that what we do know may not be accurate, complete or enough.

Expand your mind by gaining knowledge. Tenderise your heart through compassion. Bathe your soul with love.

All of this is possible when we choose to open our minds, hearts and soul.
Then we will personify the symbol of peace, the dove.

Enhance your experience at work

Often we think of ways to enhance our efficiency at work. We rarely focus on ways to enhance our experience at work, which has added benefits. Let's think of few ways, little elements and minor changes that could uplift us and help promote a pleasant work life. Plants and herbal concoctions are amongst my preferences. It could be different for you. I hope you would take this as a reminder and add your personal touch to your work space.

I have not forgotten, how about you?

I have not forgotten, and I hope you remember your real self too.

In between all of that which I do in this space called life, I have not forgotten that I am a mother. But I want my child to know the person I am.

I have not forgotten that I am a wife too. But I want my husband to know the woman I am.

I have not forgotten that I am also a daughter. But I want my parents to know the girl I am.

I have not forgotten that I am a sister as well. But I want my siblings to know the individual I am.

I have not forgotten that I am a friend to many. But I want my friends to know the lady I am.

In fact, in between all my roles that I play in this game called life, I have not forgotten that I am a human foremost. But I want myself to know the soul I am.

I have not forgotten, and I hope you remember your real self too.

Mocking Facebook Media Life :-)

Mocking the information bombarded on us daily from every angle, be it TV, internet, magazines or newspapers

The below text goes with the background image.

Aim to be a scholar of your ineradicable soul

People who possess true intelligence never flaunt their academic qualifications nor do they brag about their formal education. External curricula are only the tip of the iceberg- real knowledge is gained through self introspection. For that shall reveal to you the ultimate truth. And that alone shall lead you to all there is. Along with living your life's purpose, you have the ability to transform many souls. Therefore, aim to be a scholar of your ineradicable soul.

I hope to pass happy vibes. Enjoy your day guys! Esp. mums and bubs out there :-)

Branded sunnies are not cool enough for our persona, designer pajamas are bit boring for our style. It's not just us but most mothers and kids lifestyle. :-)

Let your life be your message

If I would allow other people's objections and opinions to stop me on my path, I wouldn't be able to reach those who share my vision; and certainly I wouldn't be able to gain the experiences and insights that help define me. To many of you, I may be a ‘nobody’ as I am not a famous ambassador, a dominant figure or the head of state that runs your country. But to me, even with all my flaws, whilst I continue to reinvent myself as a person, I am complete in each of those moments where I choose to be my true self. 

My life is my message; I am content with my existence.

I do not seek to impress others, I live to express myself.

I believe you are of value when you are your authentic self. Don't pretend to be someone else, be your own label because that's who you really are. Don't say you don't have time, your life is the time allocated to you to be all that you want.

Never forget that you are your most true and valuable possession. Accept yourself, rather than expecting the world to accept you. Accept others when you know they are being themselves. At the very least, that's what we are all here for.

Let us possess the peace we are meant to have.
And let us experience that with remarkable excellence.

And now if you are wondering who I am exactly - I am not a motivational speaker, a life coach, or a self-proclaimed guru possessing some superficial doctrine. I am simply a common man, one from the many you see around. 

I am comfortable with who I am.
I ask you to be comfortable with who you are.

Open up to the possibilities that your soul endeavoured to explore in this human form. This entire universe resides inside of you, and you think you're not enough?! You may want to rethink that!

May peace, light and love be with you.

Monita.

Facebook's rainbow-coloured filter over profile pictures to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage in the US

I am loving all the rainbow profile photos. In fact, I have been hitting the like button for each one, and I can understand why my non US citizens and straight mates are also choosing to show their support on facebook. This world wide on-line celebration marks people’s understanding of the consequences of gay folks being denied their freedom, forced to hide their identity and marry a straight person. No one has the right to label inferior or judge the creation of nature. These people are not only capable of better raising children who are left at the orphanage, if not dumped in the garbage, but they have the power to defeat this hypocritical society with love, change their ruthless ideology about human life, and tell the world that they are not a result of god’s or our mistake, that their existence matters – and they have just done that!!

While the rest of the world is fighting over land or too consumed with their material needs, we do actually have people who live for love! So what is the problem? Marriage is not always about making kids, it’s a union of two souls who want to grow old together and live their life peacefully without being ripped off the personal respect they deserve. Regardless of what opinion we all have, at the end of the day everybody needs a companion. So let’s not be judgemental because the shift is on!
