Few comments make me mad and I want to scream this is wrong.
I met a very nice lady at work. She is a Temp helping out with a project. She is from Morocco, looks nice and very courteous. I helped her with the scanner and she said "shukriya" (Thank you in Urdu). I happened to be in a room with her for a while and we started chatting as women do. Exchanged names how long we have lived in the city and all. Then she asked me how many kids I have, and I asked her the same. She said only one. When asked Boy or a Girl, her answer made me mad.
She said Boy only no girl, this is not a good world to have a Girl. I never thought this is an awful world to have a girl. There might be some bad people in this world and some women do go through hardships. Should that prevent us from having girls. What are you going to do when there's only men in this world. We should try to make this a better place for our kids. Boy or a Girl. If she already has this perception, isn't she unintentionally teaching her kid a wrong thing. This is beyond my imagination that people so much educated and living in this modern world are thinking like this and a women is so afraid to being another women in this world. I wanted to ask what will happen with your husband if she wasn't born and she would have not her son in this world.
What are Daddy's doing, Isn't a girl supposed to be his daddy's princess. Do men not want to have a daughter and cherish her. These are the times when I am very thankful to be born in the country and family I am born in. I was always given the freedom to study any subject. I had freedom to choose my career. Always had freedom to speak and think, before and after marriage. I am also blessed to be married in a very good family. Where My mother-in-law a very strong women raise very strong daughters. My sister-in-laws are also carrier oriented independent women.
Don't let few incidents scare you. Its a beautiful world out there. Daughter is mom's best friend, Have daughters and raise them to be independent and confident women. Who can make this world a much a wonderful place for all of you.

Slim vs Fit
I also dream that one day I will have the so called best figure. I will be able to wear those short dresses "by short I mean short at waist"
Like everyone I have my own struggles with my weight and health. I won't say too bad, but enough to make me do something about it. I actually gained a lot after birth of my second kid. Now I look back and think why did I let this happen to me. I lived in such a beautiful part of Germany. I should have walked my weight off, and I love walking. but I guess easier to look back and say things. I had a toddler with me lot of house-hold stuff to take care and all. Sounds like excuses to me now but that used to be my reasoning.
I always knew that I want to maintain a healthy weight. I don't diet, I always try to eat healthy. so I am not those people who keeps staring at a piece of chocolate and keep thinking about when I will stop dieting. I will actually pick up the chocolate and eat it. Portion control is some thing that I am working on. I should not eat the second piece of chocolate. I don't want to fit into a dress or swim suit for few days. I want to feel good about self and stay that way.
I love carbs and who doesn't, I eat bread, tortillas, potatoes, rice in moderation just because it causes me bloating and stomach ache.
I exercise, I love doing Zumba and elliptical in the Gym. I enjoy group exercises with loud music as they don't make me feel that I am working out. I run every now and then. Not a big fan of running, but I have done my 2nd 10K and am planning to continue them every year.
I hate getting on a scale, I don't want my life to be obsessed by number. I know when my pants don't fit, and I know when they get loose. So without scale I try to manage.
I would like to call my self that I am on path to getting fit not getting Slim.

Pandora or Spotify
It really amazes me when my little boy who's not even a teen knows more about the technology. I am not an ignorant mom I think I know my fair share about the ever changing technology. Now on second thoughts I don't think I can keep up with my kids.
Son : Mom what do you use for radio?
Mom : Pandora
Son : Have you tried Spotify?
Mom : No why same internet radio ?
Son : Don't you get ads or Do you have the paid one with no ads?
Mom : I do get ads they are annoying but oh well
Son : Try Spotify
Mom : Why does that have no ads
Son : It does but once you watch an ad you don't get ads for next 30 minutes. So its better to watch one ad and be ad free for 30 minutes. Isn't that nice, try it next time.
Mom is sold but still too lazy to download a new app and mess with it. May be I will get to it some day.
with this he now walks in the house with tablet playing his favorite songs, showing off trying to play DJ with the volume buttons.
This also makes me think of my mom who still like listen to the real radio. Old school with batteries in the radio off the air not on internet.
I don't even think kids these day can understand such thing exists, people can survive without internet
Me watching different generations and comparing with a sigh !!

A beautiful women dosen't flirt she simply smiles
I read it some where, and loved it.
Isn't that true, beauty lies in the eye of beholder. Just believing that I am beautiful gives so much confidence. I had seen an ad for Dove, when they were telling people that they look beautiful. Just by listening to this people had a genuine smile on their face and they looked pretty or handsome. I think every one's beautiful in a way. We live in this beautiful world. Once you start looking for beauty you will start seeing in every where. Well this is about beautiful women will flirt or not. I think when you believe in your self you don't need to flirt. You will radiate so much positivity and charm that people will notice with out flirting.
Not that flirting, not bad if it works for some. We can also say that Smile can be just another way for flirting (hansi to phansi) ..
I believe in keep smiling and believe in your self. There's lot to do in this world don't get lost in appearances. The Soul and thoughts should be beautiful.

Road Rage
When you hear road rage, you think of people speeding racing on the road. In my case Road Rage is when I have to honk at people. I don't speed or race with any one. I commute almost two hours a day, on weekdays. I also like to keep a safe distance from the car in front of me. I am also not a very much lane changer. As I have realized that every time I change my lane the other one starts going faster, So I hardy mess with changing lanes often. I would like to admit that I don't love driving, as much as I l enjoy sitting on the passenger seat. Not that I hate driving. I commute everyday and try not to complain about it.
During this time I really enjoy listing to FM or I have become regular with listening to my audiobooks, I don't mind it, is what I am trying to say. Then I see people going crazily on the road non stop changing lanes, keeping no distance from the car in front of them. People I really cannot stand is the ones who cut in front of you without an indicator or without enough space for them to move in the lane. That's when I usually honk, but do they even care or listen. So my guess is I honk for my satisfaction, as they are not going to change.
So one day I decided, let me control myself and let them be and not honk at them at all. It was really hard at first but then I got used to ignoring those people. I take this as an opportunity to teach myself that if I can control my self only this much that will help me in long run. Eventually I will be able to ignore much bigger things that I don't have control over.
Just my thoughts ....Keep driving and stay safe
