Triggers....





A new day, a new week and a very good health.... what else can I ask for?

Yayyyyyy........................feeling blessed!!

Somewhere I read a statement, can’t remember the words exactly but what it meant was
If it was your last day on this planet, would you be doing what you are doing right now? (Yes, yes because I love to express and I am doing that ...bang on!!)

And if you know it is your last day on this planet, what would you regret not doing?(Oh!! I love to dance....I need to dance every day...just express myself through words and dance....)

Another statement that came across (you know I believe in signs completely) is
“How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?”

After a lovely night of recharging, I awaken.... while still choosing to get up after another five minutes, the recorder of my mind starts with the same questions...

If it was your last day on this planet, would you be doing what you are doing right now?
And if you know it is your last day on this planet, what would you regret not doing?
How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?”

And the recorder told me that the third question is left unanswered. This inner recorder is the cosmic consciousness of all the teachers in my life and has amalgamated into the inner voice of Reena Singh.

Anyways, while still tossing and turning on my bed, I tell myself, that I need to sleep for those 300 seconds and just want to be there doing nothing but....as you know that it is strict and demands and answer.

I allow myself to wake up and sit at the edge of the bed. And while a million chores wait for me, my recorder is stuck on -

How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?”


I try to pause the recorder and start making tiffin for my son.
  • And when the multi-grain roti sticks and I have to roll it all over again- I am angry. (the recorder is still playing, the pause button is not working)
  • When my son doesn't wake up after 4 reminders, I am angry.
  • When my son takes ages to brush his teeth, I am angry.
  • When my milkman is late, I am angry. (recorder is still playing)
  • When the milk and the vegetable and the chapati, all need to be done together and I sometimes mess up, I am angry.
  • When the time is up and some of the chores are still left undone, I am angry.(recorder is still playing)

And then in these angry moments, a small but strong light shines and if everything stops for a while. My roti, my son’s brushing, my husband filling my son’s water bottle, the birds chirping, the sun rising to greet me good morning, the leaves stop moving to the wind....everything stops .....And I have an aha moment- the Archimedes moment, the Newton moment....

How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?”
Here is the answer to the tape recorder-
I am triggered by every small little thing and GET ANGRY.
I am going to bring this into my awareness and try to change. I will change in such a way that instead of becoming aware AFTER “I am angry”, I will try to become aware “I am getting angry, I am getting triggered”. And finally, this tape stops. THANK GOD!!

So now, this complete week will be devoted to

How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?”


Thought of sharing this...


Have a great week ahead...

Modern day fairy tale....

Once upon a time, there was a small little girl who used to stay in a city in a small little house. It was a fast city but the life of this little girl was untouched by the fast pace. She used to wake up in her own sweet world taking ages to brush her teeth while adjusting her frilly green color frock which was her favorite. While she brushed her teeth, her focus was on the lace of her frock as she admired herself and her frock. She was very happy living her life. Then she would eat the most delicious food in the world cooked by her mom. She used to play and play with her younger sister-sometimes fighting with her and sometimes laughing with her. Sometimes she would help her mom and at most times she used to be lost in her own sweet world of imagination and creativity. She had the most amazing time with her parents sharing about every little thing that happened with her -some of which was real and some were made up. She had a lovely life where nature was her best ...

Kojagiri Poornima...moonlight party!!

Fashion changes every day...and so does the moon!! When I was little, there was this “Banjara” dress which was in fashion. My parents bought this white and red “Banjara” dress which had a red “Ghagra” and white blouse to it. It had a lot of mirror work on it. This used to be my favorite outfit when I was little -around 10 years old!!! I used to carry the chunari on my head and keep spinning watching my “ghagra” move with me.... And then there was a night of celebrations- “the moonlight party”. My friends and elder friends (we were the “chillar” party) were told that we will have a potluck party. Then, we will play Antakshari, dumb charades and also share jokes. It sounded like a lot of fun to me and I pleaded with my mom that she allows me to go to this party. This party was to be held under the moonlight in the big courtyard that the houses collectively had. We were planning to stay awake till 12 and then have the nectar “the Amrit”. I told my mom about the “the Amrit” and a...
