Miles to go..

I was sitting in office, looking at the calendar on my desk where I cross off a day each morning and I say a full month crossed out. I didn't even realize it’s been over a month on this internship. Seems like yesterday when I was stressing over not getting an interview or worrying preparing for interviews. I thought this will be a long internship, seven months does seem to be a long time. But, looking at the pace of time, I think it will be over before I know. And that does not give me a good feeling, I need time to slow down a bit so I can make more of it. I need this month to go slow so I can achieve the things I want to before it ends. There’s so much I have to do, along with fighting my procrastinating habits. I want to go on trips before summer ends and almost everything closes down. I want to get closer to my personal goals. I want to learn and grow. And I want time to think about my project before I really have to, so that I don’t end up in a stressful situation. So much to do, so little time. I know this is probably a wrong thing to do, thinking about all these things that I have to do because it’s so overwhelming. Thoughts are weird, I cannot stop them once the chain starts. Now, my mind looks like an overfilled calendar with deadlines and tasks, and themes only one thing standing out – “Miles to go, before I sleep.”

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
