devijay78 Yes, you are absolutely correct. The pain does make us wiser. And shows us who our friends are and whom you can rely on. I knew my friends here would support and be there for me without judging.

devijay78 Hi uncle. How are you? I was with my husband in a rented house and we would soon be moving to his flat which he had bought before our marriage and had rented out. I did not have my laptop for quite some time and moreover was busy with my two kids. Now since...

devijay78 Hi VP. I am good and how are things at your end? How are Darshini and the boys? As I said life has taught me a lot and am still learning. I have become more independent and a little dependent at the same time. Independent in my thinking, taking decisions,...

She has been asking me to apply henna on her hands for a very long time and I found the time only last saturday to go to the shop and buy her henna. She was so excited and was very patient till I finished decorating both her hands...

devijay78 Sorry for the delayed reply. It is made out of henna leaves mostly but the ones which are available now have tea powder and a lot of other things as well in them. But I guess all of them would be natural and should not be harmful. I do not know how they sell...

devijay78 Sorry for the delayed response. Yes I do exercise. With two small kids, it is difficult for me to be regular to the gym but I make it a point to work out arleast four days a week. I have started putting on weight because of my erratic eating, sleeping and...

Most of the time, because of work at home, I used to sleep very very late. But for the past one year, I have been practicing this and there are amazing results. Going to bed at least by 9 gives me adequate time to sleep and I wake...

devijay78 I was like you. I used to stay awake at night and sleep only in the early morning(around 2 or 3). But getting up became a problem for me which in turn afffected the work next day. But now, I am able to finish my work in the day as well as do it much...

devijay78 Hi. Your mom is right. I did have such problems earlier where I was constantly stressed and would have absolutely no patience at all. Once I started regularising my sleeping pattern and waking up early, everything fell in place. And I found amazing results in...

I've been doing a good amount of exercise for 2 months now. I've noticed some good changes on my body, but there are still some stubborn fats that seems to be so hard to lose. And, my husband told me to cut down, big time, on...

I do believe this to be true. Even though I am going through a bad phase in life, I trust that the God I pray to everyday has some purpose to do this. And I will know only after I come out of it. Or maybe it is even to make me a...

devijay78 That is true. People who suffer are the ones who pray and seek his guidance more. But there are times when everything goes wrong, and there is no hope for a better life, believing that everthing happens for good makes us go on and eventually we do find that it...

devijay78 Hi. I absolutely agree with you. These are my thoughts exactly. I always used to think that God gives us trials because we have forgotten to pray and think about him and only when we face problems in our lives, we remember to pray to him and go to him for...

devijay78 Hi lyn. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I know it is terrible to be in an abusive marriage. I know how it hurts. But what you say makes sense. But a part of me still fears that there might be serious consequences if I take things too far. My parents...

devijay78 Hi. Sorry for delayed reply. I seriously don't know what to do. In our society, divorce, seperation and living alone is taboo. Moreover there are a lot of issues when a single woman raises her kids in our society. Whether the woman is divorced, seperated or...

devijay78 God does not betray us. We expect a lot of things and when they do not happen, put the blame on God. We should first see what we have done to deserve such a trial. Or even if we have not done anything at all, we should have the courage to take it in our stride...

devijay78 Yes, that is very much true. And I liked what you said. Mind over matter. My father always used to quote that and tell me that everything is in your positive thinking. Sometimes, the outcome might even be what we do not want it to be, but we must learn to see...

devijay78 She has been like that for the past five years. I am sure she would grow up being protective of me. I just wish things would be better for her sake. I am in the process of making it better for myself as well as both my kids. Hope things turn out the way I want...

devijay78 It has been more than a month now and she does not ask about her skating classes at all. I guess she is more relieved now that we do not have to run everyday and come home tired. I am making her study for some time every day. And I am more relaxed too. I do...
