Getting up early

By Dimple
I made a plan. I am rather good in making plans. I planned to be awake every morning by 5 o'clock, do some exercise yoga etc.,getting ready and so on...

I stuck to my plans for about a week or so and then ...again.. to zero...wondering.
Morning Sun is always promising but even if
Sun is not there and It is a cloudy day,
it's always great to have our routine in place to get
most out of the day.



I promised myself. Tomorrow surely. I'll spring out of bed as soon as the alarm goes. I made plans again.

and next morning...alarm went...I looked at it...looked outside and thought 'how dark it is already.' 'even dogs are sleeping.I'll take just fifteen minutes more...' and again I was sleeping.

but now I'm hell determined to make it work and surely I'll make it work.How ? This way...


  • I need to remind myself or write down the benefits and tasks I can accomplish by getting up early.

  • I need to sleep on time considering my body clock requirement of sleep. For me it's about eight hours. You know even sleeping more hours than required is as bad as sleeping less.

  • I need to keep my alarm in the other room or far off from my bed so I can't reach it to switch off but close enough for it to disturb my sleep.

  • I need to rub my palms hard and cover my face with them at least three times to make me open my eyes and give me warmth to make my sleepy eyes open.

  • As it's winter time, I need to keep my sweater close by to wear before I step out. Otherwise I sleep again in the warmth of my quilt.

  • I need my slippers near my bed to avoid cold floor and looking for slippers in the dark.

  • As soon as I step out of my bed I visit washroom and stretch myself up down left and right many times to warm me up.

  • Then follows some light exercises.

  • I switch on some light music.

  • I set the geyser on and do some scrubbing and take a shower.

  • Then, I pray to the Almighty for giving me strength to follow this routine.

  • I have breakfast and here I am ready to face the day:)
Let's pray and hope I follow it tomorrow...good luck myself

हर दिए का दिन आता है

गर तुम भी हो एक छोटे से दीये मेरी तरह, तो सुनलो ज़रा मेरी अदद आत्मकथा कानफोड़ू बम ने मुझे बुझाया है हर साल, चीनी लड़ियों ने किया मेरा बुरा हाल. फिर भी जलता रहा एक कोने में तुलसी के पास मेरा भी दिन आएगा कभी,  बस थी एक छोटी सी आस. आखिर वो दिन आ ही गया, मैं हूँ | देखो, मैं हूँ | मेरा अस्तित्व |  मेरा धैर्य | हर साल जलता रहा. आज खड़ा हूँ मैं,  सीना तान कर. क्योंकि एक मामुली को खास बनाने में बस इतना सा धैर्य ही तो चाहिए ...

Most Women With Small Income Are Likely to Become Entrepreneurs | Women Business

By Dimple

About 40% women become entrepreneurs and start their own business out of desperation due to poor job opportunities, small income, frustration at the workplace and constant pressure to manage home, kids and work.  Why Started Entrepreneurship? My fashion boutique business had closed.  The shop I had rented for my work had been sold out, and I was winding up everything. I didn't get much time to introspect. Everything was so sudden.  It takes so much time and money to set up a business from scratch.  My business had started earning me money. My employees were happy, my customers were satisfied, and my bank account had started showing positive results.  I had invested money. Most of that money was savings and my husband's salary. Lakhs of rupees were put into setting each corner of that shop, and suddenly everything came down crumbling.  I shifted my business to home.  "If you want to survive, the show must go on." My income stopped, and I had to sell many furniture, ma

Why Should You Keep Karva Chauth Fast?

By Dimple
Happy Karva Chauth ) The fast for wishing long life and togetherness with your spouse.  In times, when forget the seven lives even seven years' start itching couples together, there comes many arguments from many as 'why men don't observe a fast for long life of their wives?' Right! They should. In fact, they must.  It must be a compulsory fast for all committed men. (Point is - how many are really committed?) I wonder, when forward ladies have friction on this Fast, then why do they observe it at the first place and get fast and furious over it? SOCIAL PRESSURE  Agreed.  When you are newly married or engaged and every thing looks like a big moon, then keeping a fast and basking on glory of that new romanticized 'Me Too'  syndrome and many gifts with attention does not pinch at all.  Neither do we protest on this and fight for our Rights. Right?  Okay!  Now, we have grown up mature and understood the game. So, why sh

Is it Not a Best time to Start your YouTube Channel!

By Dimple
Last fortnight, I happened to attend a film making workshop for You tubers. It was a paid workshop and it promised big for a promising career as a social media film maker or you can call it video maker. Though, none of the participants found the workshop what it promised to be but one thing was sure. There was great enthusiasm among people - working, retired, home makers, students. In fact, each segment of society representative was there.  One thing was sure that earlier people used to prepare for government jobs but now almost everyone is after making a social media video making career aka preparing to be a You Tuber. IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO BE A YOU TUBER?                                       Any time is a right time to start anything on your own but if you are working only for money, then it may take a bit longer for you to make money from this route. If you are not already on this bandwagon of being a youtube creator then wait. Wait for sometime,

How wishes come true?

By Dimple

Wish. Mannat. Dua. Have you ever tried making a wish and realizing it getting true. Even that not so happening wishes for ice cream or your new iPod or for that oh so nice person in your life! People visit temple, mosque, church, gurudwara and whatnot. All the places are the same to me. You know, why? Because they make your wishes come true. But how? When we say we are part of nature and God is our own depiction then how come people visit different places of worship and still realize their wish or mannat. Why we have different gods in our hearts; we seek differently things; we believe in different belief systems but still we realize our individual wish or mannat fulfilled. Why? Does it prove there is a Supreme that can make wishes come true? Maybe, yes. I have also tried it once in my school days. I had to appear for my exams and just before a week I happened to visit a temple with my sister. Just for the sack of it, I wished for ab

Delhi getting colder

By Dimple
I move. No. Do I say I shiver? Yes. I am shivering so I am moving. I am not moving ever since this winter has attacked full on in Delhi and I seem to be the most affected, I suppose. People are roaming around even in their half sleeves but I can’t even imagine myself without my four sweaters, one jacket, two layers of lowers, caps, gloves and socks to be the least items covering me from head to toe. A few days back, I saw a lady in Metro, in a half sleeves dress and seeing her left me in cold but this time I didn't react because I knew she was well off to afford a sweater and she was not in that strata of 'poor lady not having anything warm' types so I ignored. But last year, I literally made a mistake of melting on seeing a girl without socks  and sweater and I somehow felt pity on her. I removed my socks and sweater and stretched to offer them to that girl. She thanklessly and mercilessly took them and threw in the nearest dustbin available.

Do You Wish To Settle Your Children Abroad or Stay With You?

By Dimple

It was a tea time discussion among us, when one of our senior doctor colleague started a new thread.  She was getting a mixed bout of feelings when she shared her thoughts with us.  These thoughts were further evoked brain storming when I visited many villages and small towns of Rajasthan and found that this is something which really needed our attention. DO WE WISH OUR KIDS TO STAY WITH US OR SETTLE ABROAD ? Her daughter was getting a scholarship to Singapore and she was supposed to join the said institution after her studies, that meant that her daughter would be gone out of her sweet home for about a decade, if not less! Now, my colleague feared that once her daughter would be out of this country, she might never return to her as most of the young generation kids do. We laughed and consoled her that being so educated, independent and liberal person, how could she refrain her kid to make decision for her life? HER ANSWER FURTHER S
