02/04/2016 I experienced my first morning sickness today. Tough it didn't happened in the morning. It happened during lunch. I was in a meeting, right before lunch. about 10.30am. Mt stomach started growling. I thought I was hungry. I was planning to have a hearty bean burger with lots of pickles and hot sauce. but as soon as I looked at the burger, I felt so repulsed. I closed  my eyes for few seconds.  Tried some dried ginger to get true the moment. 02/09/2016 everyday is a new adventure . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty31QY5ZGHo 02/11/2016 This week I became more comfortable with the idea of being pregnant. I don't have much nausea yet. However, I'm having very bad acidity and gas.  I woke up and go to bed with bad acid test in my mouth. I think the baby will be like Yeameen and won't like tart foods, which is my favorite :( Digestion is not good as well. Don't feel like anything I make. Junk food tests awesome though :p 02/17/2016 As I just...

Few days back , I wrote this on social media, reinforcing my believe in hard work. My dad always says "There is nothing called free lunch, you pay for it one way or other" . When Senetor BERNIE promises FREE tuition, health care, it scares the hell out of me. I wonder who is going to pay for this? Teachers or doctors are not going to offer their service for free. I earned my education; worked really hard to pay off my student debt. I believe it builds character, it builds dream. I want my children to experience that some day.FREE makes people lazy and lazy people can't make a difference in the world. There is no alternative of hard work. It's the only way to achieve AmericanDream.  It somehow attracted lot of conversation on my social media. Some  shared their views, own personal stories, some applauded, some even called me arrogant or ignorant. I would like to clear the air. May be I did not make my views very clear.  Here is a little bit of my ...

2015 was a quite & happy year. I think I grew a lot. I took only 2 trips this year . We went to Alaska in summer and Hawaii in winter.  However, we did hike quite extensively this year. I hiked to the top of mailbox peak . This is so far the hardest hike I completed. It was a personal achievement. I also completed my 1st 10k in an hour this year.  Yermeen and I started crossfit training in January  and continued through out the year.  In fall I started going back to school. Not for MBA. though. I 'm working towards certification in Business Intelligence with UW ( university of Washington). It was a compromise. With my very demanding full time job and marital life, I simply do not have the bandwidth for concentrating in MBA. I volunteered with YWCA . I taught ESL ( English as Secondary Language) to non native speakers. It was quite a fun experience. My baby sister got married toward the end of the year. We had lots of house guest this year. For 2016 I do ...

Few days till the new year . How fast time fly? I grew older but did I grow wiser? Most likely not. Each year I do my resolutions , most of them remain, unfinished, half done. For past 3 years starting my masters , has been top of my list. However, it seems so far reach some times. This is my last year putting it top of my list  yet again. If  it does not happen this year, most likely it would not happen in near future and I have to accept it. New Years Resolution 2015 GMAT Learn Yoga Start volunteering  Learn to give up controls and communicate efficiently. Achievement & disappointment of 2014 I consider, 2014 one of my recent successful year. Yeameen and I bought our first house together.   I also paid off my student and car loan.  I am enjoying debt free life, except the mortgage . I also learn biking . It was one of my personal challenges. Took few awesome trips ( Hawaii, Yellowstone, grand canyon, San Fransisco, Vegas and Washington...

I take on various personal projects to challenge myself. Such as run 1 mile for 30 days or don’t get pissed for a week, take a fruit for a month.    I have succeeded many of these small challenges and failed terribly as well.   Not getting pissed was one of the hardest one. I aimed for 4 weeks and gave up after the 1 st . This time I am taking a very ambitious challenge that is why I am writing about it just so that I can keep on track.     A friend of mine is doing it on facebook.   She had already made couple of failed tries. Let’s see how it goes for me. This is my 100 happy days challenge starting from March 3 rd 2014. I will write about something that made me happy for each day for 100 days. Here I go. Day 1(3.3.2014) - It was pouring so hard. I was struggling with my umbrella, laptop bad, purse to get my building badge out.   An unknown person pushed the access door button from inside to let me in. This kind gesture of a stra...

Every December , I start thinking about my next years resolution and look back year before resolution. For past 3 years it stayed pretty much the same.  Get back in shape, start masters , visit some cool places, make new friends, adventures and most of all be happy. For 2014 it's pretty much the same. Not sure if it means I did not change or my resolutions did not :p Anyway here is my 2014 resolution. Run at least one  5k or 10 k Take GMAT  Pay off my car loan Take adventurous trip Be awesome and ENJOY :)

It has been a year since I became Pescetarian . I do not remember the exact date, I decided not to eat meat.  In an fall night last year, I watched a documentary called Food Inc.   I was upset for animal cruelty in US watching it. I  did not feel like eating meat afterwards.  It was not a conscious decision. I did not  think it will last this long. After a while it became a habit. I was shocked how easy it was. I have dinner with friends and family, who loves eating meat. For some reason, it did not temp me. I always find something to eat in the menu. Even in the house parties. My husband is very respectful of my choice. He never pressures me to eat or cook meat.  My parents accommodates my choice. However they are quite vocal about the fact that , some meat are good for health.My deshi friends and family could not accept, that  someone would choose not to eat meat. They always try to prove that I am a hypocrite or insane, even though they do thei...
