I recently read an interesting article online and thought about what Independence really means to me as a woman.
Here are 19 things that mean success and independence to me :
1. Doing something impactful and loving every minute of it.
2. Finding the good in life's imperfections.
3. Realizing that your contribution to the world is valued, if not by others, by you.
4. Making a difference by teaching others to achieve success.
5. Living and loving fully, without shame and without apology.
6. Promoting a just cause, such as saving the planet.
7. Going to the beach everyday if possible!
8. Making your family and friends happy.
9. Playing an active role in achieving gender equality.
10. Having the ability to control your own schedule.
11. Being healthy -- and having a job that helps other women do the same.
12. Having the strength to try, try again -- even when you fall flat on your face.
13. Being proud of yourself.
14. Doing your best and being grateful for everything good in your life.
15. Finding a healthy balance between a loving home and a career that you enjoy.
16. Having people in your life who can always make you smile.
17. Loving what you get to do for a living.
18. Knowing that your daughter will be able to stand up for what's right and is not afraid to be herself around others.
19. Learning to be in the moment instead of constantly going, going, going.
Aren’t those just lovely thoughts to feel independent? Most of them resonate with me personally.
This week:
Rohith and I celebrated the 4th year of our first ever meeting on July 03.
In a separate post someday, I shall write about how it all started and how by the grace of Almighty and some very very thoughtful and generous people Rohith and I have been united as one.
The celebrations:
Rohith has a knack for surprises and I am the last person to like them. However, this time it was an exception. He came home in the afternoon on the 3rd and brought the beautiful bouquet (pictured above)
We did not miss seeing the fireworks yesterday, as post game there were fireworks for more than a half hour. Our local team Brooklyn Cyclones won that night!
The long weekend:

He also popped out two tickets to the baseball game in our local Coney Island’s MCU Park. The day was beautiful and it became even more gorgeous when we got there!

The long weekend:
Wimbledon is full on at Roy household. Some of you might think, what a boring way to celebrate the Holiday weekend. Of all the games played by human beings, I respect this game the most. Why? Read on for the explanation by one of the greatest legends and visit this link to watch more
“Only a boxer can understand the loneliness of a tennis player. Even boxers have a corner man. Of all the games played by human beings tennis is the one with most solitary confinement”- Andrea Agassi
You see in tennis it’s all about you and only you, just like in the real life most of the time!
Rohith has graciously accepted the cooking and other chores as I am glued to the TV for the rest of the weekend.
I will see you guys next week with updates.
In the meantime, have a great weekend folks xxx
