I was in a cage with 7-8 Fucking tigers….. while I was petting one, a tiger was trying to sneak up from behind me. The keeper was scolding the tiger “don’t eat her…don’t eat her”. Damn amazing experience – Thailand (Jan – 2019)

For this tipsy talk I want to reflect on this interesting year that we all will be leaving behind. While we prefer planning ahead for the new year to come – our goals that we want to achieve in this new year, plans that we want to fulfill, things you want to buy this year or places you want to go (trust me, Me too!!).

My first attempt at baking something without outside guidance that is not chocolate flavored. A delicious caramelized banana cake for my parents anniversary – March 2019

I believe to make a better year you gotta reflect on the highlights of the year you are leaving behind. Reflect on the bad, on the good, on the people in your life and on yourself. Think how can you make it better next year.

My jaan, my childhood friend, my sister. The person who knows all parts of me both good and ugly and loves me even more. Accept me for the person I am and is proud to call me her best friend – Birthday (April – 2019)

I am not delusional to think that just by reflecting on this year my next year will go amazing and smoothly. But I will definitely know how to make it a bit better.

Soma Vineyard with family – May 2019

Reflect on all the bad things that happened to you or things that made your day just unbearable. Think why that happened. Try that you don’t get in same situation again or get away from the people or thing that made your day so bad.
Try to keep in mind that when your day or week got bad because of some person, thing or situation it did not affect that person, thing or situation rather made you miserable and by extension took your ability to think rationally. Keep calm and evaluate the situation, is it really worth you ruining your day or week or even month?

My baby, my girlfriend, my sister. We met I seriously can’t remember how but after not liking each other at start we slowly developed an unbreakable friendship. We had a huge fight this year both of us cried and both at fault. But we came out stronger and better friends – That awkward phone call (13 June – 2019)

Reflect on all the positive things that happened just to get that buzz of happiness. Try that you get these moments more you need it.

I started painting again after 1 and half year. It was amazing, messy and oh so satisfying. After that I made few more that are now framed and on walls of my house. I am proud – July 2019
