Ready to take on the world...

I got up today, ready to take on the world. Hmm...there's still some time left for the day to be over, let's see if I can dot it!!  :)

Update 2.0

Whaddya know - September is here and there is still so much to be done. As you know, we launched the website a few weeks ago, now we need to launch the second phase - the ecommerce capability -  so that our lovely clients can buy online! Yeah, there is work to be done, and so we gracefully trudge along and make the best of what we have!

Hugs!

Admitting the P word!

I know I know I have been so behind my blogging thang...but, I will not lay out any excuses here. And simply admit that I have been lazy and a huge monstrous PROCRASTINATOR!! Arrgh! the P-word!
To be honest, I wasn't feeling it in me to pick up the proverbial pen and dish out my heart, my feelings or my findings (in art, fashion, etc), and so the blog took a backseat. It hasn't happened ever and I am trying to work on it, so that it doesn't happen again. You with me??

Muaah! and ofcourse Hugs!

Greatday it is!

Time for some Greatday posting... I love how Ralph Marston conveys profound messages in simple words. That's why whenever I am feeling a bit low and need some "pick me up" I just read his eloquent words and feel a lot better. So, here we go:
How you spend your thoughts
How are you spending your precious, powerful thoughts? Are you spending them on the things you desire or on the things you detest?Would you waste your money buying things you didn't even want? It makes no more sense to waste your thoughts on those things you don't want.
Your life unfolds in accordance with your most pervasive thoughts. Your actions, and the results they bring, flow directly from what you think from moment to moment.
Can you create and nourish a rich and detailed vision of yourself living the life you wish to live? Yes, of course you can.
Allow yourself to fashion that vision, to nourish it, to expand upon it with your thoughts, and by so doing, to truly live it. The more you focus your thoughts on what you do desire, the more surely you bring those desires to life.
Make positive and meaningful use of the awesome power of your thoughts. Where your thoughts most frequently go, your life will surely and quickly follow.
-- Ralph Marston

Why do I feel this way

There's a part of me that's struggling to find the answer. The answer to how to market and PR Banno Raani. I am usually very confident, but right now, I feel like the most insecure person ever. Although, I am researching and reading articles upon articles on how to implement the "art" of marketing and what some of the do's and don'ts are, it's like "enough already! I want to actually to take some action now."  But what????
Oh, why do I feel this way? I just pray to God and Universe to show me a way ...I am ready to work my butt off, and just can't wait to get started.

If you have any ideas, please email them to me. Would love to hear what you have to say? And for this, special warm hugs to you!!

Things that make me go.....woot

The following pictures make me happy and cheerful, and that's how I reallly need to feel right now...

Wind beneath my wings

So, Feb has come to an end, and if you recall here, I had laid out some goals for myself for this month, and I wanted to share with you how I fared on them. Let's do a round up, shall we?

• I finished reading all the six books I set out to read, and infact I finished a seventh one (not on the agenda) - The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilberts. Blown away - yes, that's what I was!!
• Did not rewrite Banno Raani's business plan, although have been working really hard to shape up this blog into something more - so, more work to do on that 
• Instead of contacting a student photographer for creating Banno Raani's look book, I have been working on learning photography myself. There is so much to learn, but I am getting there. I am scoping online tutorials designed specifically for my camera, so I can understand technicalities better and then have also joined info sharing photography sites like ProPhotoResource.com. Hey, if you are interested, then you can do it too!
• There are some things at work at my current job. Can't say much at this time, but I am working on it with my manager
• Yup, this I did not wait too much on. I always calculate how much I spend each day (breakfast, lunch, book buying, shopping expenses - all included) and then make sure that I am saving double at least. Kartik and I are working on some investment strategies at the moment - and will share with you more once finalized
• Made yumm choux pastry, and ate it like a hungry starved human...finally!! 
• Yes, meditated and loved it. Well, meditated my style, I mean I could sit still for 20 minutes but with my mind buzzing like a busy traffic highway. So, lot more work on that!
• Nope - just can't open my eyelids at 6 am - tried but can't! I mean I got up today at 11am!! BEAT that!
• Waiting for a good book shelf. Looking to buy - any suggestions?

So, people, here I am, ready to move on to the next month - have so much to accomplish! Little by little, yes, little by little, I gather the wind beneath my wings : ) Oooh,  look at me, going all philosophical!

Anyways, have a wonderful week ahead!

Hugs!
