You love Yourself the most !!!

Jai Maata Di

I was home all day. was not well to attend any meeting, nor I was wanting to. Got up real late, saw few more cd's i got from landmark. Then did some work for tommorow's meeting. Then saw Jodha Akbar on UTV movies, again. While watching the movie I was thinking some dialogues touch you deep inside. From Jodhaa Akbar, few of my fav is "Pani aur tammnaaon ki taaseer ek si hoti hai, aage badhte jaana". Perfect !! There are many more in the film, but this is my fav most. Tomorrow is a tough day. Had to do lot at the same time. Have four meeting in a row, wusshhh !! You know when I was in college, my orthodox brahmin relatives use to scold me, that i dont know how to cook, i dont do any household work, how will I get a husband, how i will keep my in-laws happy etc etc. But you I never cared what they were talking about because I always believed in myself. I can do anything IF I want. Gossips and scoldings fuelled up when I decided not to study any further after graduation and do some creative work. When I asked them to shut up, they started torturing my poor mother, that I am 'badtameez', my future is dark. I explained to my mum, that to keep faith in her daughter. Her upbringing and teachings won't go waste.

Today, I have a career, I earn more than triple then anyone in my whole Khandaan, including men, forget the ladies. I got the perfect husband, straight out of any girl's dreams. I do everything a house wife does and everything what a working woman can do. My papa is proud of me, My husband loves and respects me. I have created my own place in hearts of my sasuraal-people. And now the same relatives, can't stop praising me. the same people want their own kids to be like ME.

Always believe in yourself. don't get carried away by what others are saying. always remember, Its YOU who loves YOURSELF the MOST. Be yourself, world will follow. Trust me, I have done it.

I was ME again !!

Jai Maata Di

I had beautiful & flawless skin till I was in tenth standard. Then slowly, pimples started occuring on my face. Initially I was not much bothered, but then when people started noticing and commenting, I realized have to do something. My biggest mistake, I started pricking them up. Too bad, have the scars for the whole life. Anyways. Then as usual aunties, uncles, friends, friends of friends, even strangers whom I met in train gave me their-valuable tips "nuskha's" to get rid of my pimples. Poor me, irritated, frustrated, did everything. applying chandan-jaayfal paste, to lemon-honey mask to egg whites to rubbing alum cake to drinking litres and litres of Saafi to what not. I could have written a book myself on "How to get rid of pimples" with 9999 wonderful tips. But none of my efforts paid off. Pimples got worse, and I looked just Yuck ! No one will believe but I stopped looking in the mirror for more than a year. I use to comb my hair without looking in the mirror and nothing else. I use to hate myself. I use to often question to god- Why Me? and Why so many?...I have been an all rounder all my life. One day I dared to look into the mirror, and promised never ever to get bothered by pimples. My personality is much more attractive then my face, and I am beautiful by heart atleast if not by face. I moved on. I was ME again. Pimples soon became part of my personality. When on lucky days, I had none over my face I use to feel....something is missing types. After a decade of Pimple-problem, my prayers got answered, I got PRO-ACTIVE. Its amazing, but my buddies are still with me, they are never going to leave me, and trust me, I dont mind that anymore. They are part of ME. My pimples are part of Me.

If you are troubled by your pimples, JUST START LOVING THEM, trouble will be over forever.
