Limm Exercise Resistance Loop

This time I chose a product that I believe would help me shed some weight and help me in achieving my dream of being fit! I chose #limmloopbands as part of product testing from amazon.
Being Amazon prime member, I received this product within two days. I was all excited to open the packing. It was neatly packed and sent to me.
I opened the pack and found a pouch with 5 loops in different colors. I didn't understand the logic behind 5 colors and immediately referred their notes. It was only then I realized that each color was for each type of resistance. The yellow was the extra light resistance,followed by green, blue, red and black (in increasing order of resistance). For a beginner like me, yellow or green would be ideal to start with. The loop looks durable. It looks like it might last for quite sometime. However with increasing resistance, you can always move to the next level loop. I am using it for stretch exercises now, for legs, arms etc. I found that this can be used for yoga, Pilates as well. Planning to use it more often and then will update here on the results, This is just the beginning of my exercise routine! Long way to go to achieve my dream of a fit me !!

Telecommute work- Try out Toptal!

For a perfect work-life balance, nothing works out like a telecommute job. After a sabbatical of nearly 2 years(since my pregnancy), I joined a start up company in Bengaluru, India's IT hub. Only then did I realize how cool it is to work from home. No more getting stuck in traffic, no more late night stay in office, and lot more to list. But then, the most important factor for me was spending more time with my twins. After having worked there for almost 2 years, I moved to USA sometime back in January, 2016. I waited for a while to get my EAD and then now started with my job hunt. I just found about this great site- https://www.toptal.com - I am impressed with the fact that unlike other similar sites, where we can easily post our resume,and then fight it out for projects, this site screens the candidates before adding them to their list of candidates. I am applying for manual testing with expertise in exploratory and context driven testing. I see some great companies offering work through toptal. I hope I end up working with them, the wait just begins!

A lady who inspires me to be self-motivated!

There is someone in everyone's life whom you cannot forget for some reason- good, bad or ugly! Someone who helped u grow, someone who inspires you or someone whom you hate the most! I do have a list of people whom I can fit into these categories. But there is one lady whom I can never forget nor do I wish to forget in life is my own Atha. When I say Atha, - wait she is neither my aunt or any relative.This is one lady who has seen only failures in life. When life fails her every time right from birth till now, she stood against it and has fought really hard. No education, no parents to support, no siblings to take care and no life partner to lean on, she has stood all alone and braved the odds. As a kid, she walked into our family, and now its been 5 decades she is with us. She has been part of our 5 generations, taking care of us each time and every time.
 A working mom's kid will always long for her presence at home, my atha ensured that we(me and my brother) never did ! 5 minutes late, she would walk all alone in search of us! No matter what time we leave home, 5 in the morning or 5 in the evening, she made sure that we are fully fed and carried something to eat, just in case we are hungry later! Fall sick, no doctor nor medicine could soothe you as much as when you are with her! Her hands have a magic- she touches, and you feel fresh! Not one or two days, she fasts for years together(Not taking Non-veg) just to see us settled. Anything that we wish for, a call away- Atha pray for us, and she does that all the time! Wait- is she demigod?- no negatives? She is just like you and I, she has her own flaws- gets angry easily, fights for petty things, loves food and the list is long :) But her affection towards us surpasses her flaws! Whenever I feel down and am in need of some pep talk- the first call would definitely be to my Atha- her words are so inspiring every time. She is the one who made me believe in myself- whenever I see failures in life, my atha always stood beside me, her words inspire me to face the challenges head-on.I am truly amazed at how someone with so much failures in life, can be a source of inspiration to someone else! It's her love , that does the magic! Truly blessed to have her in our lives!
