  • Biological (C)lock

    The term has become more of a cultural notion than a physiological term. Is this societal norm even relevant in today’s era when females world over want to live more and be more than what their previous generations had access to. If one’s looking to maximize their potential both personally and professionally, then it’s time to question the status quo, dismantle any self-imposed constraints and definitely not give any headspace to conforming to conventional norms.

    Burnt out or lit up?

    All of that calls for courage, bravery and a sense of street smartness to forge your own path. Awareness of aiming to be stronger than who you think you can be and constantly pushing the boundaries is what’s imperative to live life on your town terms.

    Afterall a clock is to guide us in utilizing our time on this earth well, but a lock makes us a prisoner of time. So listen to your guts wisely 🙂

  • Pains of aging

    Sometime we can unknowingly invite troubles by asking for help. Especially help from aging parents, who are at times erratic and not consistent in their responses. Logic and rationale seems to surpass them many a times, making us wonder if they are the same adults who brought us up.

    They grow selfish, trying to guard themselves even while helping their own children. In the middle of all this, they unknowingly throw you – the (grown up) child, under the bus. I am sure no parent, however old, would do it on purpose. But its most likely an outcome of a battle in their mind. On one hand they think ‘I have done enough for my child’ and on other hand they tell themselves ‘I should now look for myself’.

    Not much to do here for the (grown up) child. Except for taking the path of self reliance, keeping expectations superbly low and undercutting on your asks from them. It’s physics after all, less strain equals better longevity!
