25 February 2019 I remember the date 25 February 2018, when I decided to take a leap and go for a diving session after 8 years, so I could take the course of a certified diver in the coming days. Everything was in place – where to do the course from, how many days, vacation …
I am reminiscing…

The land of Ayurveda – Kerala, where it all started!
As the plane started to descend, I took some deep breaths looking at the stunning view outside. The day unfolded with a streak of yellow and orange colors and with every blink, it became clearer and clearer. At every stage, I couldn’t help but take pictures as I love clouds and every form of it, …
Introducing ‘OM’ to life

What started as a thought after the recently acquired certifications in personal training and group classes, soon grew into a serious move. You know what they say.. when it’s …
Tame the mind, a workout for the brain!
Recently I flew out to spend some time with family while I am still working on what’s next, and amongst all the things I watched in the flight to pass around 6.5 hours, one topic that made me think a lot was a documentary on athlete’s mind. Imagine how one athlete stands out from the …
A life to keep!

Walk the walk, talk the talk!
Today was an eventful day I would say and it all started with a visit to the nearby gym to explore what they have to offer before signing up for few day passes. The walk was half an hour long and with a pleasant weather upon us today, where the sun was shinning for long, …
Pan Pan.. until you succeed!
Yes indeed, this title comes with great pride as after few unsuccessful attempts to make pancakes, I finally got it right. So, I bought buckwheat flour (healthy of course!) along with grated coconut today and decided to give home-made healthy pancakes another shot.

Food for thought…

Another day in paradise
With three days off and less of studies to do, I decided to make it my healthiest week so far by baking muffins at home with a healthy recipe and no sugar. When I was browsing online, I saw some key ones with avocado but none without sugar and while pondering over what could possibly …
Hit the max and hit some more…
This seems to be the new mantra that we as students are using now-a-days to push our limits or shall I say that of our future clients. We are taught different things daily and sometimes I really wonder if my brain will sustain all of this. Every evening, we finish the day strong and hope to …
I wish we wake up…
So I watched ‘Bend it like Beckham ‘ a night ago, and so many thoughts came flashing through. My story starts with the fact that I am an Indian too, who holds great passion for fitness and used to find it tough to play unlike the boys, as I was growing up. Fast forward to …
