Through my camera eyes 2

The round has gone on forever. My stomach growls with hunger. "Doesn't any one have a toffee here?", I ask my fellow colleagues. And here it is. :)

Weekend post-books, movies and thoughts

Things that matter It was quite a busy week. I spent time in a room of a dying patient- heard all the conversations- they spoke about all that eventually matters- they just wanted her to know that she was loved. She was appreciated for all the joy that she added to their lives. No one spoke of money, careers, petty grievances. No one....... 10 pages a day Confession time: Havent really been reading 10 pages daily. However, what I have been doing is reading everyday. Its like aim for the moon and landing amongst the stars. At the moment am reading two books:  1. Dont sweat the small stuff treasury-  It was so interesting that my patient was reading the same book- in a bigger size-perhaps with more content. Its beautiful. The most recent chapter was on how to be a better listener. Am working on that.  2. The power of habit- amazing read on how habits form and reasons for sticking with them. So far have learned that it takes effort to start a habit. After a while it just becomes second na

 I took a day off work and it felt like the best decision ever! The day was just beautiful, nice and sunny. I had a girl meet up with my friend. She had her 18 month son with her. He has the most perfect dimples when he smiles. We had to sit in a children's area so he could let us talk. Here is what I made out of his veggies..... We had chai Latte. It's chai made with cinnamon and is frothy like coffee.  New beginnings this week I started a group called Quran sisters. In this small group we are learning to understand Arabic in order to understand namaz and quran better. Its going to be baby steps, but I hope to be persistent. On the same note, after months of planning, today I started the weight training. I just exercised with 1 kg weight in each hand. Slow and steady is how I plan to continue.  With food, united we stand My Indian work colleague shared dhokla with me. It was delicious! Perfectly spiced.  Working on the last day of week day-not easy. So I call it Friday fun and

 It turns pitch dark by 5:30 pm here in Australia. Its kind of dark when I leave for work and it is dark when I return. While the rest of the work is enjoying summers and mangoes, we have winters here. Strange. To make it less strange, I went ahead and ordered the expensive Sindhri mangoes from Pakistan. Love has no price tag, correct.  The beauties came all wrapped up. The aroma took me back home. I had it with paratha and pickle. Heaven food! I have started doing this puzzle. Puzzles require patience. Just like life. Eventually all the pieces fit together. Eventually it all makes sense.  While I chatted with my friend she spoke about skin tones and shared how her face is of different tones and not that perfect. I just looked at her and told her, I had never noticed that. My mind only saw a girl who is so kind, full of joy and pro at everything that she does.  All this makes her look flawlessly beautiful.  What is perfection anyways. The most perfect are those who care, who feel and m
