Michelle Obama's Becoming.

-


Inspiring, filled with hope, kindness and determination. Michelle Obama's Becoming will take you back and tell you a story that was happening in your own time. When you were busy studying, hunting a job, or chasing your love life, history was taking shape. It is an overwhelming feeling when you understand how much of the world you have not been a part of. The hardships of generations after generations, bond of a family, beloved memories of the departed and challenges of a becoming leader.

The story of Michelle Obama has various flavors and it is not so different than any other person on this Earth. The only difference you will find in your own story and hers is that she did not stop. She did not stop believing in herself, she did not stop challenging the status quo and she did not stop when she was said and I quote from her book "not Princeton material". Turns out that she was not only a Princeton material, but of a Harvard and also of being a First lady.

Michelle Obama is a name that everyone around the World knows. Today, she is a face of every woman in the World who wants to be heard and bring a progressive change to her life. Her story does not only break the ancient age notions about women but challenges the new age stereotype of being a woman. 

Stay in school, finish your education, have a career and fight for what you believe in. These are a few of the messages that you will find in her book. No matter where you stand in your life right now, if you decide in this moment that you need to find your purpose then there always is time. 

Our advice, if the chaos around is making you hopeless, then read this book. Sometimes knowing about the challenges others have faced can be a reminder to you of your own potential.

For "If you don't get out there and define yourself, you'll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others." - Michelle Obama.

(One friend and a cup of tea.) Dear Readers, What a weekend!!!. The January winter is my favorite time of the year and I believe there is nothing better than enjoying it with hot tea, family and friends. Since, we will be saying our goodbyes to the season soon, I thought I will push my comfort zone and explore evening chill of Jaipur's busiest streets in Rajapark. My search , along with some friends, led us to a cozy tea corner which was filled with people like us who wanted to feel the tingling of cold hands and red noses that the winter brings with it. We went along to find our table and hot tea was soon brought to us with tastiest snacks we could get. The stories, jokes and little excerpts started pouring in from all around the table. One of the excerpts from a story actually made me think deeper. It goes like this. A waiter asks a man, "what else will you have with your tea?" To which the man replies, "some old friends with their silly little talks". I immed

  Did you fly kites today? Did you stuff your mouth with delicious til laddoos and deep fried pakodas? Are your ears hurting with all the music competition on your terrace from your friendly neighborhood?  If the answer to all the questions above were yes by you, then you had a great day today celebrating Sankranti. Just like you, I did all these things and can proudly call it a day well spent.                                      The festival of Sankranti is all about celebrating the harvest season of the year marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days. Makar Sankranti is observed with social festivities such as colorful decorations, fairs, dances, kite flying, bonfires, feasts and children going house to house, singing and asking for treats in some areas.  Since I am a big fan of traditions, I tried to include all the elements of the festival and succeeded in doing so with the help of my family and friends. The day started by visiting the nearb

It's been a while. I have not shared much over the last year and I thought my blogging time was over. But, I find myself writing and reflecting over the amazing year that has gone by. I used to think I know life. I always believed that if you plan things and follow, you will achieve your goals and it is true to an extent.  However, to my utmost disbelief, everything I planned turned out to be completely different. Some of the things I had planned were friendships, career, relationships and even hobbies. Thankfully I have my family and a few close friends who had time again picked up my pieces when I broke myself trying to do things which were entirely opposite to my nature. I am grateful. Last year was all about revelations. I got to know that polo was a tough game, covid was still wrecking havoc, it's never too late to change your life, your family is your truest friend, that best friend you have is a gem and last but not the least you are the only one who can truly impact you
