A Cup of Me

In the cacophony of life, amidst the swirling currents of circumstance, it's easy to lose sight of the beacon within us — the glow of true happiness. Yet, it's not the circumstances that create joy; it's you. Yes, you, with your resilience, your spirit, your capacity to rise above the storms and shine regardless. You see, happiness isn't a destination reached through external validation or material possessions. It's an internal state, a radiance that emanates from within when we align with our true selves and embrace the beauty of our journey. Think about it — when you're truly happy, you glow differently. There's an unmistakable aura of contentment, a sparkle in your eyes that reflects the harmony within. It's a magnetic energy that draws others towards you, inspiring them to seek their own path to fulfilment. But in our quest for happiness, we often fall into the trap of comparison, measuring our progress against someone else's ruler. We forget...

My nth #Husband appreciation post. But, necessary. Read on.. if you care! 😊 . . . . . . . . . This day was #mentally exhausting. It started off with choosing what to wear & an occasion of planning what to wear usually got me excited. But, this time it terrified me. Similarly, I could tango in heels, but I just couldn't this time, couldn't wear them even for a minute. I decided to wear my favourite flats, the goga mat one, @skechers my go-to slippers. Then a bug that usually is repelled by me, bit me. The cringe-worthy "log kya kahenge?" @jay__doshi stepped in and asked... "Are you comfortable in it?" I yelped "YES!" And so he said, "screw the look, if you're comfortable, you look the best in my vision!" Love you My 🌞🌝 & 🪨 for always helping me choose my mental health, first. Sorry, for the times when I hurt you, while safeguarding myself. The song he dedicated to me is playing in the background ❤️ #healthylifes...

Ironically, it's the #IRON year for us. May our relationship be as #lustrous, #ductile & #malleable . 🤣 Also, reminder for us, iron rusts in damp air, but not in dry air & dissolves readily in dilute acids too. 😜 That's enough chemistry for this post! 6 years of togetherness to us. 🧿🥂❣️ #funnycouples #longdistancerelationship #anniversary #love #couple #missing #reinventingrelationships

We look pretty good. What is it we were all dressed up for? Ah! Our wedding day! wasn't it? But, on a serious note... Some people say that love gives them wings -- (in my case, I was already flying), but you, my husband, you ground me (not in the way a child is grounded by parents *meek laughter*). People talk about utopic perfection (pre-wedding and BIG weddings and if the former two aren't it, they've trended post-wedding shoots too), but to me, you are my amazing reality (when weddings are at HOME, and still filled with grandeur and LOVE). So due to the reasons enlisted above, I promise or vow (whichever word you prefer); I promise that as your wife, I will not keep score, even though I am totally winning (Don't you say, that you let me!). I vow to love you even as you scan through all those movies without picking one to actually watch (and I end up, just watching you.). I promise to laugh, for real, at every joke you crack, no matter how stup...

Just after we said "I do" at the court! P.S: Jay was still looking else where. #nofilter 🐒

Forgive yourself when you... - binge watch the entire season, when you were supposed to do the dishes - stay up & wake up way too late - eat that extra plate of food - don't manage to ace your learning schedule every single day Acceptance starts with forgiving. Forgiving yourself is the first step to forgiving others. You decide whether to let that SMILE fade or grow.
