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.

Not so Queer....

I have been busy all last week working on a project #campduo conducted by #duolingo for people learning languages through it. I have been learning Spanish and French for a while now and recently added Finnish into my kitty. Not sure where I am going to end up but this journey of learning definitely seems exciting. As a part of the camp, I got to do a lot of things that I would not have done otherwise, like cooking. I did try out few interesting recipes from different cultures with a tinge of Indian flavours to them. Will talk about that sometime later maybe. Time for our #DigitalDabba now. Since I have been camping at #duo, I hopped, skipped and stumbled across French and Spanish people just to keep my spirits high for the camp. And I thought I should be sharing it with you. #LIFEGOALS - Rebecca and Marc who are about to get married soon decide to write a shared story of their roots to create a family tree around the last 25 years for which they travel to an old farmhouse that ...

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...
