Mindblowingly Mundane

Thanksgiving isn't a holiday I grew up with, but it has become a very integral part of my life in the last 20 years in the United States. This episode isn't about Thanksgiving though, but it is about, food, a table, and something I feel we all need to give thanks for... the kindness of service .  Once in a while, a perfect stranger comes along, and touches your life in such a simple, and yet...

What's in a name ? asked Shakespeare's Juliet, a very long time ago. Turns out, a lot actually. And sometimes the writing on a wall can tell you very clearly why. It definitely did for me. You will have to tune in to hear this story. It may just make you fall in love with your own name a wee bit more. Felt like a good one to share a couple of days before my 50th 😃😃❤️ Music Credits: https://mixki...

Ever been crowned? I am sure you have. I am sure you have had opportunities to celebrate success.  Ever had a moment where you were the recipient of such glory because a known or unknown benefactor was only too happy to step aside and let you enjoy your well deserved moment in the spotlight? I went through a little coronation once, and a bit of the royal glory and joy.. still lingers. Listen in......

Perfection, as amazing a goal as it is, is a little overrated and static in my mind. This is just a personal opinion, but I find myself more and more inspired by those who traverse the unknown path towards such perfection, and in the way they do it. They don’t know it all, but they don’t seem to give up. The have what something that I have come to understand is best termed as, the "Power of Yet" ....

Let's switch things up a bit today shall we?  Let's ride the dark side for a bit  on today's episode of my podcast. Happy Halloween folks, whether you celebrate this holiday or not, our lives aren’t mundane because they are at some point or another touched by darkness. They are also mind-blowing, because, we as human beings from the times immemorial have always found light. And so we shall, yet ag...

As this strange year draws to a close, I find myself appreciating celebrations even more than I have before, but not exactly for the obvious overt reasons. Being a part of two very different cultures, I have come to appreciate that, there is much more to festivals we celebrate, no matter where in the world we may be situated.  Stop by a few minutes and see if these thoughts resonate with you. 

"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit !"  she said. I listened, and I am still listening.  Care to spend a few minutes on the power of words? I think you will enjoy this. Music Credits: www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: Words from a 6 year old ! 

There is so much more than meets the eye in a simple box of crayons, and as we grow older, we seem to take those lessons for granted to the point of almost forgetting them. Let's revisit some colors together, shall we? Music Credits : www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: A box of crayons

Country roads, didn't quite take me home that evening, but offered me a new appreciation for the different journeys we undertake in life.  A sweet story of a commute to a coffee shop and a tractor !!  Music Credits: www.bensound.com  Inspiration Credits: An evening drive ! 

One of the biggest lessons I have received in gratitude came from a young man, all of 5 years old, in a Kindergarten class. It was as humbling as it was profound. And yes, I will never look at tally marks the same again. Join me as I share my story on this episode of my podcast.  Music Credits: www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: A very grateful Kindergartener

There is a reason they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day !

Ever wondered that you can't quite see your own face, unless you have a reflective surface in front of you? A simple truth that my 4 year old held up to me in no uncertain terms, made for some interesting reflections, so to speak.   Music Credits: www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: A mirror, or its lack thereof

Do you think our environment predisposes us to be more wary of strangers or can we put in a kind word now and then? In a world that is in dire need of compassion, is it harder or easier to reach out to a stranger?  Music Credits: www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: A quick stop at a gas station ! 

Hi I am Pritha, and in the last 10 years or so, I have come to realize,  the best thing we are given in this world, is this moment, this present day, this minute, of this hour to either make a difference, or be witness to something that can make a difference in our own lives.  Welcome to my podcast Mindblowingly Mundane where we will take the time to pause in the midst of our every day l...
