Today”s Friday Five guest writer is Kavya Mysore. Kavya a young lady, all of 23 years, is pursuing postgraduate study in Carnatic music. She has been schooled since birth in music and is the granddaughter of the eminent Bellary Venkateshachar, of the Bellary Brothers fame. Introducing herself, Kavya writes, “ I am very passionate about music (studying post graduation in music — Carnatic classical in Bangalore,India), gardening, photography, arts and travel. I aspire to be a philanthropist and a good human being apart from being a good musician and an artist, of course. I believe, I am here for a purpose. And that purpose is to serve society and people. My mission in life is to spread happiness, peace and love –unconditionally to anyone and everyone.” Such wise and beautiful words from someone so young! Hope that you enjoy her Friday Five.
Life — a Celebration!
Yes, according to me, the very fact that I am alive, breathing, walking , talking, able to think , makes me feel so fortunate and grateful. I believe, life is the best gift one could ever have and its very important to be happy and grateful for everything while you LIVE.
Recently, there was a little challenge making rounds in a social networking site called ” Pay it forward” and I found it very very interesting and unconditional and hence took part in it :)
Read more about it here. So, ultimately what matters most to me is, to be happy :)
Organic Gardening
Growing your own food is The spray of your headlights hasn’t reached the driver approaching you, so what’s the hurry to go to low…Are you a commuter or someone who drives in heavy traffic often? casino online Then this video will definitely give you a new perspective on your driving style. an exciting and satisfying experience! I was introduced to organic gardening by some folks on Facebook. It was so interesting, that I decided I must grow something on my terrace. It took me a while before I could get comfortable with it, but trust me, it has been the best decision of my life. Watching them grow from seeds to seedlings to a sapling to a fully grown plant! That is something that everyone must experience. I feel so very humbled looking at them grow on their own. Nature is so very kind to us..the least that we could do is to pay back all the goodness by preserving our environment !
As of now, I have grown brinjal, tomatoes, beans, all types of greens, radish and beetroot. I am looking forward to growing many more veggies. If you are interested, click here to see a picture journal of my terrace garden.
Let Go
As I am growing old, I am more confident about who and what I am and the most important thing I have learnt is, to let go!
Let go of everything that doesn”t matter to you anymore. Let go of that person who is not respecting your views or reciprocating your emotions. It is very important that one learns to let go of all the things that matter less and serve no more. It is also important to understand what really matters in life.
Live in the Moment
Living in the moment is something so very essential for a happy life. Being in the moment and making the most out of life is what counts ultimately. LIVE. LAUGH . LOVE.
You never know when you would be taking your last breath. Life is very uncertain and it is very important to make many happy memories when you are still alive :)
Gratitude Journal
I maintain two journals —
1. My first journal is where I update regularly (read :daily) about everything that has happened, both happy and sad moments
2. Gratitude journal — this is exclusively for all the positives in my life. I record everything that I am grateful for and make sure there is nothing “sad” here! My aim is to fill this up with as many happy memories as possible and when I grow old, I would love to read all them and have a smile on my face!
