Some people need to tear you down to lift themselves up– that’s what I keep learning 🙁
It’s 4 : 43 PM on day 629 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself scrambled eggs and bread for breakfast, drink Green Tea by myself, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, hang out with my family, work, listen to music – I LOVE Megan and Liz (check out some of their videos at the end of this post) – and feed myself Greek yogurt for lunch.
This afternoon my brother said to my father beaming with pride check out the well that chechi (chechi means older sister/older female cousin in my parents’ mother tongue of Malayalam) built and in response to that my father said in Malayalam they probably put up a picture of some random well then to make matters worse he said with sarcasm in his voice well done Nisha your reward is in heaven it stung a little but it didn’t change the fact that I was proud of myself and what I did. Do you take to heart the words of those who are trying to tear you down?
I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.

It’s 10: 59 PM on day 159 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours – no luck today – feed myself Ullundhu vade [pronounced vah-daa] – a savory fritter-type snack served in South India and chutney – for brunch,edit the questionnaire I’m using for my book and send it to my friends in Australia and South Africa for them to fill out (if you have no idea what talking about refer to Day 153) – watched 30+ YouTube videos –some of the kids on there would put more recognized artists to shame 🙂 – watched TV and feed myself left-overs from brunch for dinner and exercise for 5 minutes.
You may know that the two greatest passions in my life are writing and giving and for the longest time I’ve been trying to come up with ways in which I could combine the two so last week I launched YouTube’s Got Talent only nobody submitted their videos but me being me I decided to go to the talent if the talent refused to come to me and this is what I came up with:
