20th Day of Driving Lesson

Yes yes yes…I can ride my scooty now. Yes, I cant believe this…I have learnt to balance the scooty on my own. And have started taking off my feet from the ground to ride the scooty without support.

Now am very confident that I can make it to the roads very soon.

2nd week with the Scooter

This is the second week going with me learning the scooter. I am a bit happy as now I can sit on the scooter all by myself.

I have also started driving it at very low speed…with my feet on ground…hats off to my scooter guru- Bhanu- my hubby…Now am aiming big and slowly but steadily I will be able to balance it. This much confidence I have now. Soon I will be writing how I am driving my scooty.

5 Questions for me..............

1. Why are you overweight?
2. What are you really hungry for?
3. Why have you been unable to maintain weight loss in the past?
4. What in your life is not working?
5. Why do you want to lose weight?

"It's not about the food. It's about using food—abusing food," "Too much work. Not enough play. Not enough time to come down. Not enough time to really relax."
Over time, I discovered what I was really hungry for. "I am hungry for balance," . "I'm hungry to do something other than work."
I dont realize that the rules change. You know, age is a bear. You can't go back and work the same as in the past.
No matter who you are, a food addict can't conquer his or her addiction completely. " This is a problem in your life that's probably going to be a problem in your life for the duration of your life," he says. "Your results are simply about how you manage that problem."
I didn't really learn how to be happy. I learned more survival tools and not how to be happy!

Sometimes I am a solitary Reaper !

Will no one tell me what she sings?--
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?

There wasn’t any hint of guilt when I was copying these lines of the great poet William Wordsworth. That’s because I am fumbling to find words to explain what am felling. But yes I know somehow the above mentioned lines suits my version of unhappiness at the moment.

My crave for higher studies

This is a feeling that I get whenever I come to know that I have cleared the examinations. It’s that mixed feeling of triumph and now-what kinda mind. I want to study some more…. I told it to Bhanu, he was happy.
Recently I completed my Masters in English Literature and couldn’t be more happy (Though one paper remains-that I didn’t go for fearing that I wouldn’t make it, but now I feel I should have given the paper-who known when luck feels good enough to be with you).
What shud I go for - certificate course in editing & proofreading or a PHD in English? Well God will take me on the path he wants me to be on. I remember how I would study for exams when I was in the later stages of my pregnancy. Mu must have studied along with me in my tummy. Ha!
