Lost in Candy Land

Couple of days ago, I missed my stop on the subway and landed up on 34th Street. I looked for uptown train signs only to find out that I would have to swipe my card again if I wanted to go back! Uggh! I decided to exit and perhaps go to the meditation center. Upon reaching the street level, I backed out of the meditation center idea 'cause it was couple of avenues away and it had started raining. I quickly noticed that I was only 1/2 a block from the B&H Photo Store. Perfect. The memory chip for my camera had cracked recently and needed to be replaced. So off I went to B&H.

I had heard so much about B&H - expecting it to be a regular camera store was sooo shocked and amazed! I found myself like a little girl lost in the candy store! OMG! Was this Santa Land? Conveyor belts carrying products up and down, so many gadgets, so muchhh to just get yourself lost into. Lighting, Tents, Tripods, Lenses, Cameras and more Cameras. The intention had been to go there only for 2 mins to pick up the SanDisk card.

What a rush of endorphins! I found myself "drooling" at new cameras (as if they were juice-filled candies). Perhaps Amex would send me a gift card for a shopping spree at B&H? This place is amazing - I heart Bloomies, but B&H is like a Macy's filled with electronic gadgets. For a blogger who is constantly clicking photos or shooting videos, this is "Candy Land," and I enjoyed every minute of getting lost in it.

Have you been to B&H?

Cheers to Happy Clicking!

How I Transformed My Life?

7 Years ago on a frigid winter morning in January, little did I know that my life was about to transform dramatically! It was my first day at Institute for Integrative Nutrition ("IIN"). Today I had the privilege of going back to school, IIN, for a live event at Avery Fisher Hall! As I entered the Time Warner Building, I started feeling happy and excited! The energy in a room full of 1,000+ health coaches cannot be described, but has to be experienced! Endorphins are released! One just wants to freeze time and stay in the present moment and savor it. At IIN I learned different diet theories, I was supported by colleagues and mentors and learned from world-renown experts in the holistic field. I addressed my own health issues and share my knowledge to help others. Today I am gluten-free and dairy-free and it's with the support I received from my colleagues at IIN that I was able to smoothly transition into this lifestyle. Most importantly, I learned to love and accep...

Did You Hit Delete?

Have you ever hit delete in error? We always get a prompt – are you sure you want to delete? Or “Proceed to delete?” “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?” You get a second chance. Will we be given a second chance before we are “Deleted?” All this reflection started out when to my utmost horror and astonishment I discovered that the number of photographs in my “Album” on my Samsung phone had changed from 3,000 to 3! WTH! I took a deep breath and said, surely, there must be a mistake.” Quickly went through each album on my phone – and as my heart thumped, the tears came trickling out – oh dear! All the photos were gone! Sad. So Sad. Very Sad. There went pictures from my daughter’s wedding – I consoled myself with the fact there were professional ones from the photographer; and in a way, it was a blessing that I got rid of the clutter. As the day transpired, I began to think of other photos that were delete...

Girl Rising

Little girls in this country watch t.v., have play dates, take swimming, violin or tennis classes. They sometimes don't feel like going to school and are picky about what they eat. They sleep in a warm, cozy bed surrounded by their favorite dolls and toys. In another part of the world, there are little girls who can't go to school and instead work from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. washing pots, doing other household chores, and who are lucky enough to eat scraps of food and have a dry ground to sleep on. Have you seen Girl Rising ? I watched the trailer yesterday and heard excerpts from the book. Tears welled up my eyes. This inspirational film is a must see. Immediately, the MZ Wallace bag I have been eyeing on seemed irrelevant. I was embarrassed of my Amazon "wish list." We live in a materialistic world and desire more each day while in certain parts of the world $5 is a fortune! We live in a free country, we are free of masters, have the ability to receive free education...
