What 2020 has taught me so far | Yogita

By Yogita Sharma on June 19, 2020

The year 2020 has been an adventurous roller coaster ride, which is mostly a downturn ride, I wish this time passes soon and waiting for better days. Every day I wake up to hear some good/positive news to feel a little better. Surprisingly, I never imagined phasing these low times this good. Holding up and trying not to give up soon. It is a difficult time which teaches us to be prepared for unexpected, It is like hope for the best but prepares for the worst. I am going to share a few things I have learned this year so far.

How to be Productive during COVID19 Pandemic

By Yogita Sharma on April 13, 2020

When life gives you lemons better take out juice, make margaritas and then store some. Time seems to have seized for each one of us to rejuvenate nature including us. These pandemic days are difficult for all of us in different ways. We might not be able to pursue daily tasks but we can utilize it in many ways while staying at home. When quarantine arrived with this pandemic initially we were stuck. We all are facing a different crisis but we still have ourselves and our family together, and slowly we found different ways to get involved in different productive and self-constructing activities. The things we were postponing since long have now got in a routine, the guitar hanging as a showpiece with the dust settling on it over time has now getting finger strokes. All those saved recipes on Instagram are now in action and so on.

Living as Passion, not as Penance

By Yogita Sharma on December 13, 2019

I am just fed up with questions like, “what do you do a whole day while you are not working?” “What do you do to pass your time at home?” “You must not have any work” After being asked this question, again and again, I asked this question to myself and tried to sort out my whole day’s routine and I tried to figure out what is called work exactly. (Is work is something which earns you money). I tracked the time taken by me in each task I do. I am not a hard-working homemaker, I just like my house clean and stomach full and things ready before me and my husband need them. I am not an extraordinarily strong woman, I work until I feel the energy and do not mind to take a break or watch Netflix or talk to the family. This article is not the one with a feminist motive but as these are mostly women who keep things clean, and ready for the family. I tried to figure out my day at home, it is not hectic I would say but as to your curiosity I am not sitting on the couch, munching snacks and just binging on some movies. Even when I am alone, I need clean clothes, a clean house, and food.

Prime Series Review 2019

By Yogita Sharma on December 10, 2019

Lately, I have watched some of the best series on Amazon Prime as well. I think I am done for this year and can share the review. I keep on watching many seasons but I can keep my interest for few till the last episode. I think it is a nice escape from social media and good for a change of mind. You will find a variety in my review. It is engaging to watch them solving crime cases with logic and everything helps me use my mind more efficiently. LOL

Get to the review now and if you have some good ideas, share them now in the comment.

Top Culture shocks I had in Japan

By Yogita Sharma on November 29, 2019

When I visited Japan as an Indian I found many things new and fascinating for me. Everything was entirely different as in India. There were a few things that were hard to believe. Like, there are no bank-cheques, there are no signatures but a signature stamps for every individual. You mostly have to carry cash because most places only deal in cash, In many temples, you have to pay to visit-fee. I am sharing a few of the things which were surprising to me at first and were kind of culture shock for me as an Indian.

Why I am not losing weight?

By Yogita Sharma on October 4, 2019

Everyone goes through ups and downs in everything they plan to do but the thing to remember is being determined and work hard instead of focussing on results. The before and after pictures we see on Instagram do not tell the journey, they also went through many phases through that journey and it is the result of months and years of practice. If you are struggling getting results, try to find out the reason and fix it and try again.

How I tried my First Kimono

By Yogita Sharma on October 2, 2018

It happened when we were attending a huge get-together and got to meet lots of people there, there I met an elderly Japanese lady who asked me if I had tried a kimono to which I said no, I didn’t get a chance yet, though there were so many one day kimono trial shops while I was traveling in Kyoto as I was alone and had camera and bag and it was difficult to carry it. She immediately offered me to try her kimono and I didn’t have words, we were total strangers.

By Yogita Sharma on September 12, 2018

Hello friends, this year has been a productive one for me, I successfully completed a Nutrition and Dietetics Certification with good scores, I started working out and improved my health, got a new job which stands my expectations (it actually went beyond my expectations when I was allowed a one month leave that also just after two months of my joining), I felt blessed that life has given me so much without asking.
