Counting your coins.....

Wassup! You must be gearing up for the weekend. And for those who have come to the stage where weekend or no weekend makes not much of a difference, welcome to the club! We are all together in this. As I was saying earlier, yesterday's session stirred up few unknown emotions within me and now you can stop yourself from reading further but you can't stop me from writing. There were many little pointers that impacted me and I could instantly relate to the time when I started investing back in 2016. But the one that touched me the most was the fact that Women are better FINANCIAL MANAGERS and DECISION MAKERS than Men. Not just because an expert said so, or analysis says so, but because I actually felt it.

I am sure everyone of us likes Money. Earning it, spending it, yearning for it, wishing it were never there at times. I will have to accept that I am guilty. Guilty of thinking about my future finances a little too late. I mean 36 is a little late to think about your finances especially if you are Single Woman staying with your parents, working for 12 years at something you love being a part of and are totally happy about it. It took me a while to understand that this condition can also be called as being #financiallyclueless about your own life. I am not too proud of it, but there is nothing much I can do about mostly because I have already started doing something about it.

If you are someone who is also going through the same condition despite being conscious of the financial decisions you make, despite being in control of your finances, despite being interested in shaping out your financial goals for life, do not worry. We are in this together. We can always help each other with our insights, experiences, mistakes and learnings. So keep watching for this space to get all this and more. Also, I have realised that Investing is the STEP 2 of building up your Finances. Bingo! You got me right there. STEP 1 has to be undoubtedly #SAVING it up.

7 TIPS TO MAKE JOURNALING A DAILY HABIT

Habits make us what we are. True that. Many of us are familiar and are probably experts at writing a Diary. In fact any one who has ever tried maintaining a diary at some point of our lives are all potential writers according to me. A diary is the only place where we can put out our thoughts without deliberation, where we can shout out loud about our inhibitions, where we can mention our fantasies without hesitation. I have too many lovely memories of writing a diary. My day would start and end with it. And one thing that would always find place in it on any given day was my love for Prem. Had to stop the habit as it turned out that people in my family got suspicious that I would someday elope with a guy named Salman Khan. I know, you must be having a laugh at it, but back then it was a little serious, not to forget that I was just 15 then. I never got back to that habit again. Yet, he remains my eternal heart throb till date. Thanks to the advent of technology and our friendly so...

The story behind our WEEKdays

I was a little confused in the morning about what day it is today, when I tried finding out about it, I stumbled across this – ‘ Thunder’s Day ’ I wondered if it had to do with the upcoming monsoons, which is not same across the World. So, a little research and this is what I found. Sharing this # GuruGyan with all you koolkanyas out there. We are all aware that our days of the week are named after planets. Ideally, we should be having 7 and not 9? That is where the #Babylonians come in to picture. They were the ones who adopted that number because they observed 7 celestial bodies – the SUN, the MOON, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. I wonder why they never considered Uranus, Neptune, Pluto or Earth for that matter. #GuruGyan1 SUNDAY – The name takes its origin from a Latin phrase “ dies Solis ” meaning the Sun’s Day. Google Nani and Wiki Dadi say that God worked for 6 days and rested on the Seventh day which is allegedly the Sabbath day or Saturday as ...
