How to design your ideal life?
For many of us life goes on and we are caught up in the daily grind. When we are younger, we live life full throttle. Our 20s are the best example of this. Most people get their first paid work in their 20s and it gives them a new sense of freedom, a sense of […]
Reflections from September 💪🏽
September has been great for me as I got to spend quality time with my family in India. I ate a lot of good food (which is a given) both homemade and at restaurants. When I used to live in India, fusion usually meant Indo-Chinese. Nowadays fusion includes Japanese, Thai and other cuisines – yummy […]
How to unlearn the bad stuff 💪
Your ability to unlearn bad habits, behaviours and belief systems is as important or even more important than your ability to learn new things. From a young age we do things in a particular way and it becomes a habit. We listen to many perspectives around us which become our belief systems. Belief systems have […]
Reflections from July
Hello readers. Did you miss me in the month of June? I am sorry that I couldn’t deliver my monthly reflection as Rona paid us all a visit and I had to take care of our health. July has been a month of introspection. I was moving a lot of the stale energy – inside […]
Living in Tune (not in fear) ♾
The month of June was a challenge for me in many ways. When my partner decided to go on a two-week holiday to visit family, I thought it would be a cruisy two weeks. But my son got covid the day after my husband left and that threw me off balance. Later in the month, […]
My May month in review – handling emotions 🥴
Lessons I learnt on handling emotions… May was very retrospective for me. This month I decided I want things to be different. It was a Monday. My daughter did not have school but I had to drop off my son at school. As I woke up in the morning after a late-night Sunday catchup with […]
Are you willing to earn more than your partner?
Read that question again. Are you willing to earn more than your partner? Your first impression (as a woman) will be ‘Why, yes, of course, Obu. I am willing to earn more than my partner’. Quite often as women, we somehow sabotage our money-making capacity. We think that in order to earn more, we have […]
Money container – how big is yours?
If you had $500……. Or $5,000 or $50,000, what would you do with it? Many times, we say, ‘If only I had a $1000, I would…’ or ‘If only I won $1 million in the lottery, I would….’ But what would you actually do if you had that extra money? If someone gifted you $1,000, […]
Reflections from November and December
Hello, my lovely readers. Did you notice my absence? I didn’t send my reflection for November or my usual article in the beginning of December. My apologies as I was going through a health issue. I even ended up having surgery in early December. But I’m really glad to say that I’m recovering and doing […]
5 things people who are good with money never buy
People who are good with their money are not big spenders. I was really lucky to grow up with this principle. We were taught to never ask for anything because someone else had it. If we really wanted a colouring kit or pen or whatever, then our parents will buy it. So, ‘my friend has […]
