Faith vs ritual

Who wins this battle? We all have faith, we believe in god, in his supreme existance. Yet we all follow different set of rituals believing either that it will bring us immense benefit or not following it beings us doom.

If our faith is led by fear or greed, is that a faith worthy of a true believer? With all the progess our race has achieved, our faith has become more illiterate. Or, may be the early man still lives.

Hi world

Back to the world of blogging after getting a.samsung note as a loving gift from my husband. Its a neat phone and amazing toy to.play with.

As a stay at home mom who trying to jump back into the career backwagon woth a cfa degree, I must say I am not very good at this..the juggling of books n kids.

Its six weeks tl exam and heaps of material to go through. I am going to see how do I go about using this precious little that I have left and will I be able to clear this exam.

almost a year!

A year has passed since i last wrote. that really says a lot about me. I start things, but forget finishing them, I don't even bother carrying it any further.
Good news, i passed the june 2010 CFA level 1 and now i am preparing for June 2011, level 2.
Bad news, the weighty issues still remain. I am still overweight and my yo-yo love with bad food is still on. Its like those bad relationships, where you know that the guy's bad for you and you still can't let go off him.
But i hope to change things and I got a good idea from a movie I watched today. It was a lazy afternoon and I was in a mood to sit on a couch, eat some snack and stare at the TV. I ended up watching "Julia and Julie".I loved it. Its a movie meant for women like me. anyone out there, who is thirty or above, a bit bored and feeling lost. go ahead and watch it. and watch it alone i.e without your husband or boyfriend.

weighty issues

Its my first day of blogging and finally i feel i am keeping up with the times. Also the reason I am starting this blog is close to my heart and my weight. WEIGHT is a word that has been a bane of my life sinse i reached puberty. i just don't understand how we I gain weight even when i don't eat that much. I mean a decnt snack really wont kill me and reading a book and watching tv exercises our mind and eyes...blag blah blah.

We really know how to convience ourselves right. Can't even hear that tiny little voice of conscience when the tv is blasting and the refrigerator is  screaming for attention. but thats all flashback. lets zip up to today.

I am 32 and fat and sitting at home taking care of the kids. the pure derogatory life of a housewife. long lost are the times i used to wish to be successful corporate or a spellbinding teacher or whatever.... something.   But like all lazy procrastinators i choose the path which seemed easiest to deal with. today nothing is tougher to handle but the sheer boredom of the path thus choosan.

So I begin the journey of changing my life and lifestyle with small changes - eat less , walk a bit and study for an exam I take in june.
