imagesAlone she sat looking out the window in the train wondering where,? Why?, how?, will she ever, ?as she looked out tears streaming down her face, asking herself is there a God?, will he ever help,? she was a religious person she went to church, read the bible and was a good human being, but why where did it all go wrong, did the Almighty punish her for who she was or was it just her fate or karma that lead her to this.

As the tears poured down her face, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder an elderly lady with kind brown eyes sat next to her and asked her what was wrong, Shena mumbled eyerthing, her marriage was broken, she lost her house and now her job was in jeopardy, the old lady hugged her and said sweetheart it will be alright just believe, as Shena thanked the old lady and gave her a hug the old lady gave her a date 15 August which was three days from now and said it will work out by then.search

Shena smiled and mumbled thank you drying her eyes got out of the train just as she walked out she felt comforted and mumbled to her cynical self 15th August, as she went to stay in a rundown flat close to her work place she closed the door and wept crying out to God why was she in such jeopardy doesn’t God care?, is there even a God,? just then she heard a knock on the door and there was the same old lady caring a tray of soup and a sandwich , Shena mumbled a thank you suddenly realising how hungry she was and wolfed it down.

Shena gave the old lady a hug once more and asked where she was staying the old lady said close enough to help as Shena was tired and closed her eyes to sleep she had a dream about how to expand the advertising company she was working in she was excited and frightened she was just a receptionist and wondered if the boss will ever have time to listen to her but Shena took note of the dream and made a presentation with it, she took note of the date it was oneday to the 15th of August and with anticipation asked the boss if she could give out her presentation the boss joked about how everyone wanted attention.

Shena smiled and said believe just then as she said those words she looked out the boss window and there was the sweet old lady moping the floor and waved back on the 15th of August Shena dressed in a sharp red business suit gave her presentation there was silence and then a thunderous applause she had fixed a great problem and at the same time had got a great deal for the company that day she got a promotion and went out to thank the old lady but could not find her just as she got home she was surprised to see her apartment full of red roses her husband’s name was on the card which read “ I am sorry I love you” 550839_2946183953695_1446826119_njust as she ran to the door to ask the land lord about the old lady who lived close by the land lord said there was no one there with that description as she looked at the table there was a pair of crystal wings which said Believe God loves you and below that 15th of August as she wept holding on to the beautiful crystal wings there was a knock on the door and there was her husband looking into his eyes she wept it was the 15th of August as she kissed her husband .images-2

She saw in the distance an old lady walking as Shena said there was someone special she had to thank and ran after her the old lady turned, smiled and disappeared All Shena said was” thank you my wonderful guardian angel”

In her hands were the beautiful crystal wings which read” Believe”.

Friends, fellow dieters, random musers and country men lend me some of your time. How are you dear munchkins doing well this week my weight has neither increased nor decreased . I the Indian Aunty have been cooking some Biryani and curry for some guests at our house and I love cooking . Cooking is one of the few things I enjoy doing apart from being wife and mother, a struggling musician and author.

So we had chicken biryani, chicken curry ,raitha and ice cream for dessert. If you my dear friends have not tried Indian food I would urge you to try Biryani and please opt for the mild version if you are from the west. As I the Indian aunty with experience of cooking for the western culture know people in the west prefer to taste the flavor of the food they are eating instead of tasting only the spices or masala.

My Irish husband always says darling less is always more. Be it in cooking or make up but  in clothing it is better to be covered up except when going to the beach. Keeping it simple is always a beautiful trait. When we look at Beyonce she is gorgeous and in the movie dream girls she was wearing very little make up and looked gorgeous. Gwyneth Paltrow uses very little make up and is stunning I loved the movie Shakespeare in Love in which she was really ethereal.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections. 
Saint Francis de Sales

In this cosmetic enhanced world most of the women population want perfection but there is no one perfect. We women always feel the grass is greener on the opposite side. Let me tell you something a bit personal I always wanted to be lighter skinned as I was not happy in being dusky complexioned but when I came to the west here girls were getting spray tanning and loved the sun tanned look.

While fairness creams are selling like chocolates in India. I was born with a tan as one of the ladies in the movie the Marigold Hotel said in one of her lines referring to a brown nurse you can wash all you like but that color won’t come of it was a light hearted remark but how true.

I was born to brown parents and they are absolutely fantastic parents and so naturally I am brown. My daughter  being Indo- Irish  has a beautiful olive coloring.

The world is changing by leaps and bounds and the emphasis on colour is changing thanks to television, movies, sports, entertainment and politics. We have Indian and African news presenters and soap actors and actresses. We have Halle Berry, Morgan Freeman  and of course Oprah. Sports The Williams sisters of tennis and Politics  we have President Barack Obama.

United Kingdom ruled the world at one time and being an Indian from India we have a lot to be thankful for to the British who brought about Education, abolished the sati movement or the killing of innocent women on their husbands fire after he died. They brought about telephones, Christianity and Railways. I as an Indo- British citizen have a lot to be thankful for. Especially my British husband.

The British left India peacefully thanks to our great leader and freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi. India has developed since then due to our economic planning such as five – year plans since the time we got freedom and our brain power. Though there has been a brain drain by Indians seeking a better future in UK and USA with Universities such as IIT’s and IIM’s most of the graduates from these universities leave for the States.

Due to the population of 1.7 billion there is still lot of poverty and corruption. There is also a large distance between the rich and the poor and those who are middle- class but I believe that one day India too will be a developed country.

So dear friends, munchkins, sweety pies I hope you enjoyed my history lesson let us make goals for our lives be it in weight loss, Office Work, Overcoming addictions or just spending more time with our families. A goal in life gives us hope and a reason to live.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

My dear friends hi, how are you all ? Yes it is me the Indian aunty, I am now 154 pounds and from next week I am going gymming. Yes dear friends I have decided to join the gym. Like most aunties I do not like exercise but one has to learn to get that coveted Kim Kardishan or Beyonce Beautilicous Body. Many of you might find this surprising but I was always thin as a child and as a teen ager but once I got married the weight crept on slowly but surely and before I knew it I felt like a hot air balloon.

This happened quite recently we passed this furniture shop one day my husband and myself and I could not recognise myself in the show room mirror was that me, naaa some Indian Aunty but dear ones it was me…… So I decided step by step this weight will come of. It takes determination, will power but above all it needs God’s blessing. So I said God you did not make Adam and Eve obese but made them perfect. I bet if they were still alive they would be models for Vogue modelling with Fig Leaves.

But after the fall perfection was made imperfect and man gave into gluttony and obsessive eating or obsessive undereating. There is a thine line between the two. Food is not bad,Food is to be enjoyed be it Indian, French, Italian, Chinese or European. Food is not a master neither is it a slave very much like women. You can dress food, add those favouring to it sometimes it looks good to the eye just like women. But food can be given an over prominent place above God that is when there is a danger.

Never get carried away by anything, think is that helpful for my body am I going to eat that chocolate cake and then go sick it up then don’t eat it. Bulimia, Obesity,Anorexia are all extreme love or hatred for food. The first sacrifice to God in the Bible was food. God loves food ,good food, well prepared food. Food is to be enjoyed during festivities the first thing we think of is food. Christmas or New Year we love food our food.

With food comes drink I think every one has their opinion on alcohol but I think excessive drinking is not necessary and can be damaging but a glass of wine now and again is actually quite nice. But alcohol can be addictive so drink it sparingly I drink wine a few times a year but that is very sparingly.

Excessive alcohol can damage families, relationships and ruin lives so drink only when one needs to but this is my opinion and every one should be allowed to share their opinions anything. Anything in extreme is not good be it religeon, dieting, exercising , eating or drinking.So dear friends eat moderately, exercise and may we see a healthier tomorrow for ourselves and for the world we live in.

Love

The Indian Aunty x
