Short trip to Goa..#Goadiaries a thread
South Goa colva beach beautiful white sands and very clean! Was fascinated by the shells this time, how a life survives in a shell! Waves literally talk to you! I can still hear those waves!
Since it was n th visit to Goa was looking for off beat places and we visited an old Portuguese house built in 13th century, the lady who manages the place gave us a nice tour,We enjoyed the tour and we all ended up singing in the place, as though deja vu we were in the ball room
As tweeple suggested we went to Tambdi surla temple! Best decision, monsoon added the beauty further! Temple is located among the hills, with streams surrounding it! With few water falls around!
And we did Fontainas Heritage walk! Colourful Portuguese architecture houses! Mostly all of them converted to cafes and hotels...nice for colourful photoshoot! Yeah that's me posing there!
Serradura the Portuguese dessert! I try this everytime I am there.. ofcourse coffee by the paddy fields!
Lot of beach and pool time and quality with my daughter and my bestie..all in all...so many more places in Goa to explore...
At the worst lows of my life, when I had no clue where life was taking me, uncertainty around me, darkness I can still touch and feel, lost .. emotionally exhausted and numb. That empty evening, I just got out the yoga mat, spread it on the floor..next 40 minutes I just streched.
After that for the first time in months I felt myself..as if I knew this version of me. Sleepless nights followed by waking up early just to feel myself on the mat. Numerous times I have cried on the mat, surrendered bowed to the universe.
That continued slowly found myself and balance within myself as I was breathing with each asana..Since then, Yoga is my constant companion! Yoga for me is nothing physical..its an union with myself! Its truly a Journey within!
Thread on what not to say to a widow/Be strong for your child is another one..she is your responsibility now.Yes ofcourse.. One thing I realised is that people are so so insensitive when it comes to grief, people talked about their medical issues, when they came to attend rituals
Just because Iam a Doctor.Losing a loved one is hard enough, takes lifetime to heal and people ask how it happened instead of offering condolences. They expect you to answer?? Really? If you don't answer they get offended.
You can't be like this forever, you need to move on..move on from what?? Please don't say that, grief is such a personal thing. People need time to accept, process..it can take any amount of time..respect that.
1. After an entire week tirelessly working on ground and still following up with non-stop calls..I am trying to do few things to stay sane. 220 covid patients under our care.. overwhelming challenges #medtwitter Here is something I am trying to do.
Exercise everyday with due precautions: walk/ yoga atleast 30 minutes a day.
Remain calm: it's a tough time for everyone.. reminding myself constantly that staying calm and working smart are only ways.
Embracing uncertainty..this strain is making us helpless, it's infectious and in some rapidly progressive..not able to predict the outcomes. Reminder we are doing our best with given circumstances and given resources.
