Monday Blues


Monday is the root of all evil.

I say we take every Monday off.

Just once, I would like to wake up, turn on the news, and hear… Monday has been canceled, go back to sleep.

Why is Monday so far from Friday but Friday so close to Monday?

I hate Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and half of Friday.

They should make Mondays illegal.


Found these awesome quotes on internet. I mean seriously we should change the name of Monday to something else may be Funday or Relaxday :D How was your weekend? For me it was good but it just passed so quickly :-/ I am trying to catch up with work and trying to get over Monday blues. 

Have a nice day,

Summer is ... eating ice cream


Summer is rushing to ice cream shop, grabbing your favorite scoops on cone and all set for a walk in town



Summers has finally approached us and I can't begin to tell how amazing it is to see sun going down late. I started loving summers when I moved to Sweden. I hella love cold ice cream on hot summer days. If I am out in town then it is the first thing I will grab to satisfy my taste buds. It is fairly acceptable to eat ice cream any time of year but somehow it is more fun to eat in summer. 

I am hoping for some sunshine on weekend as well but you never know weather ;) I will also set my wardrobe because I haven't unpacked bags till now. Have to do grocery and pick up my byc from repair shop. Yeah, my poor byc's front tyre was torn apart. Have a very nice weekend all of you.

See you,
Ikra

I will prepare and some day my chance will come



“Never allow yourself to feel disappointed. You may expect to have a certain thing at a certain time and not get it at that time, and this will appear to you like failure. But if you hold to your faith you will find that the failure is only apparent. Go on in the certain way, and if you do not receive that thing, you will receive something so much better that you will see that the seeming failure was really a great success.”

When everything changes, change everything


I loved the title "when everything changes, change everything". This book is written by Neale Donald Walsch. I read the abstract of book on Amazon and I must confess the writer is powerful with the words, simple things are conveyed in best way. I wonder if someone of you has already read this book? Those who are interested can order a copy from here.

I think we always have to accept change sooner or later. Sometimes we accept it with a smile on our face and sometimes with doubts and fear of unknown. Why fear for the unknown? Why not be in that moment and enjoy what life is offering us? I am of the view that a change always transforms things, sometimes transformation is bright and colored but sometimes it is dark as well. What we have to do is to see the bright side. Whatever comes in our way accept it and give it a new meaning. Move ahead and embrace the beauty of change. Do you agree with me? 



On a side note I am slowly unpacking things. It is difficult with the job but I am hopeful that by this weekend I will finish it up all :) 

Stay tuned,

Relocation


Hello to all the beautiful girls out there. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend at its best; eating at favourite restaurants, having a walk in the town, watching movies or eating ice-cream. Off course, how can I forget ice-cream in summers. Luckily I was also able to see some sunshine and temperature rising to 20, 21. Yes that was awesome indeed. 

On another not too bright side I am moving to another apartment today. Seriously moving from one place to another is the most tiring thing. It isn't just that things need to be adjusted properly in apartment or the clothes needs to be hanged but rather the most important thing is to adjust your own self. I hope I will be able to settle soon. Wish me luck :)

The picture explains how difficult it is to adjust in a new place :) I will see you all soon.

Much Love,
IKRA

Love affair with plants


I love indoor plants. They are just a perfect addition to any home. Don't you think that they give a life to your home? I always feel like they are a symbol of life. Back in my homeland my home does have beautiful indoor plants, flower baskets hanging down from the terrace, and bunch of them lying in the small lawn area. I must admit I miss my home a lot and especially the lively feeling which plants add to it. Other day my sister showed me the beautiful terrace which she decorated. Oh it was awesome, hanging flower baskets does add a glamour to the terrace of your home. I wish to have a big garden and balcony where I can have loads of lovely plants :)



On a side note we are hitting the weekend. Sometimes the whole week just pass so quickly. I am going to spend a lazy weekend :P Are you having any special plans for weekend then share with me.

Have a nice weekend,

Summer is ... lying on hammock



Summer is lying on hammock under the palm trees. Reading your favorite book or listening to your favorite tunes, and enjoying the fresh afternoon breeze.

Got this wonderful idea from Tamara's blog. She has an awesome summer series on her blog. While you are here don't forget to check her blog :)

GOD speaks to us via nature




There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is a society, where none intrudes;
By the deep sea, and music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but Nature more...
- Lord Byron

Until next,
Iqra

Rock your weekend


  Throw yourself in water pool, close your eyes and relax


Cool off yourself with refreshing drinks


Wear your favorite accessories with awesome sandals


Munch delish food

 
 Play your favorite playlist and go on a walk in town 


 Take some coffee and cherish yourself with one of the new movies


This past week has been so hectic for me. I hope for most of you it would be same. I would cherish myself with everything which I wrote above except throwing myself in pool as I don't have one ;) Are you having some special plans for this weekend ?

Have a relaxing weekend,

Start all over again


Pick yourself up
Take a deep breath
Dust yourself off
And start all over again

Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again

Don't lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again 



Found these awesome lyrics from a song "Pick Yourself Up" dated back to 1936. Today, I got a new inspiration :)

Have a nice day,

That happy face ...



Can you imagine the happiness which one gains by sitting IDLE for some time when testing system is down and that too on Monday and that too when you are not the one who is gonna fix that :) Yes, at times that feels like a blessing *I hope my boss doesn't get to read this* hahaha

Feeling super BLAHHHHH


Feeling bad for my space as I could not update it in ages and this is not limited to not updating blog as many corners of my life are being affected. Well, I have been working a lot lately. We had a major release on 4th July. Updated the production systems today and now I am tired down my soul. I should be thankful that I have the got the chance to work with some of the best developers and I tell you the guys are really awesome. Work more than me and feel less tired ;)

Weekend is all set to welcome everyone. I have few small plans which includes doing laundry *A basket full of clothes*. Also I am invited by a friend to take dinner with her, such a nice and kind girl she is. AND sleeping late till my bones hurt.

Even though I get tired, I feel super blaaahh and low sometimes, I miss my family and friends but at the same time I am content with my life. I am happy with this place and people around me. I love my work and take on every day with a new enthusiasm. 


Have a nice and relaxing weekend. I will see you all soon
