How to give a high five?

July 10, 2018February 5, 2019 Sanjana L ReddyLeave a comment

Standing in line at the cafΓ© at work, a friend came by and raised his hand to give me a high five and ….. I almost missed! I’ve seen other miss a high five too. Hand-eye coordination fail?! While I waited for my food to get ready I wondered if there was a way to never miss a high five. Read More »

Suffering is inevitable if you react to everything that is said to you. Sit and breathe. This is extremely hard to do but when you do, worth the effort. 😊 #poetry #poems #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity #micropoetry #wordswithqueens #thoughtfvl
Today I'm celebrating another kind of love 😊 the kind that I was fortunate enough to have shared with my two dogs who turned out to be my furry siblings. They joined my family when I was eleven years old and they taught me what unconditional love looked like and what it meant to be loyal. They were my Valentine day dates and were my port key and escape on a hard day to a world where love wins all. They left my family a year and a half ago and I still can't make sense of it. I wrote a letter which I wish I could read to them but since I can't I'm doing the next best thing of sharing the happiness they gave me 😊 Please read it if you have time. The link is in the bio πŸ”— Hope you had a great day! #dogs #doglover #writing #writersofinstagram
Does anyone agree? 🐢🐾 I do! πŸ™‹
This book took me longer than I thought it would to finish it. Not because it wasn't good but it gave me so much to reflect on and sometimes made me so emotional that it was hard to go on. The book is a complete account of an ordinary women who got the opportunity to go on an extraordinary journey. She embraced everything that was offered to her with grace and dignity. For over 8 years she and her husband took one of the most powerful positions in the world and gave us something to aspire for. Such a wonderful and heartfelt read and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the life of Michelle Obama and Barack Obama in her own words.

As a child I dreamt of having ceiling high bookshelves filled with books from all around the world πŸ˜ƒ an essential part of this visualization was always a ladder leaning against a shelf! πŸ“š PS: this isn't my bookshelf, saw this pretty ladder at the filoli house 🏠 #books #bookshelves #bookdecor
Spent the evening watching an old interview between Oprah and JK Rowling just after the seventh book came out and JK mentions this quote about what true happiness is to herπŸ˜ƒ At the end of the interview JK Rowling mentions how a girl in her 20s had walked up to her and told her that she was her childhood and I couldn't help but smile and acknowledge how that was so true for me too! #jkrowling #dumbledorequotes #harrypotter #harrypotterquotes
Don't judge this book by its size since like its contents it strips the book of frills and fancies and gives you essential haiku from the three great masters as is. πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈπŸ§™β€β™‚οΈπŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ Here's one from Issa which I couldn't stop laughing πŸ˜‚ about - Just beyond the gate, a neat yellow hole- someone pissed in the snow #haikupoetry #thepockethaiku #haikubook #japanesepoetry #haiku

The silent companion to my everyday activities - tea! 🍡 Why does it hold a special place in my life? Well, 1. You get it all around the world πŸ—ΊοΈ 2. It's perfect for a rainy day! 3. It's basically a hug in a mug πŸ€— For all the reasons above, I thought it was time I learnt a little more about this cup of joy and that's when I stumbled upon this book. Though it might be called "little" it has a lot of information that will graduate you from an enthusiastic novice tea drinker to an informed connoisseur sounding tea-o-phile. And if you're like me, I highly recommend it. βœ”οΈ PS: Here's something that I learnt from the book that not many people know: all tea, green, white, yellow, oolong, black and dark all come from the leaves of the same plant! It's one plant that rules the world of tea 🀯 #tea #alittleteabook #bookgram #bookphotography #bookandtea #books
