My gift to you: A recipe, an art work and 5 things to do!
Hello again!
Day 11 of #LockdownIndia. Today I made something delicious. It's what you see above: Channa baskets. I have also shared the recipe on my Instagram, as a video. Head over HERE and you can find it. Do try making it.
I also made art today. Here's what I made.
In addition to the above I also shared 5 things you can do today.
You know, there's one thing I want to tell you guys: Even though I share so much on social media, I am an extremely private person and hugely introverted. People who have met me do not believe it when I say so.
There's a misconception about introverts. Many people think that introverts are shy. That is not necessarily true at all. I am not shy at all. (oh no, not the least bit!) But people drain me out. I am okay to make conversations, and socialise for a little while. After that I need copious amounts of my solitude to recharge.
I enjoy meditation, I love working out by myself, I like making art, reading, taking my dog for a walk. Notice how all these activities are solitary?
An excellent book on introverts which I liked and could completely relate to was INF Joe's book "Text, don't call."
I loved it! I could completely relate to it.
Have you heard of the Myers Briggs personality test?
I am an INFJ. If you have taken it, let me know your personality type.
I enjoyed immensely reading all the good things about you, which I had asked yesterday. Thank you to each one who left a comment. I feel motivated when I see your comments, as otherwise it is like 'talking into air.'
Sunday tomorrow. What are you going to do?
Tell me in my comment box. (If you are reading this on mail, head over to my blog please)
If you want me to write about any topic, then you can say that too in my comment box and I shall definitely try to write about it. (I have a special place in my heart for all those who leave me comments😉.
Till tomorrow, keep a song in your heart.
Lots of love
Preeti

Rashmi, such a beautiful description and it is true.
DeletePlease do write about top 10 personality books which you always recommend to readers in a blog post.Its been almost 10 years now following your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi! I have already posted about my 10 fav books. Please do search on youtube 'favourite books of Preeti shenoy' and you will get it! Thank you so very much for following my blog and reading!🥰
DeleteI love your posts, Insta Updates and your books. You inspire me more and more. I too am an Introvert, though many people would disagree with me. I cannot handle crowd of people because I will get really nervous. I will try to read the book you mentioned, "Text, Don't Call." I feel more comfortable texting people than calling. It has been like this for about 7 years now. I also love to take personality tests, so will definitely take the one you mentioned and let you know the result. As today is Sunday, I plan on taking a long afternoon nap as the morning was quite busy cleaning the house, doing laundry and helping mom in the kitchen. Take care!
ReplyDeleteIt's a book of cartoons! You too, take care!
DeleteThe Channa Baskets are so eye-candy Mam! The art you have made is equally creative and beautiful. I'm loving all the words you are putting daily with the portraits. It's really deep 👌👌👌👌👌
ReplyDeleteI have taken the Myers Briggs Test and my type of personality is Advocate 😄.
Thank you for the wonderful post Mam! 🙏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Delete🙏🏻💝

DeleteLoved the cat picture<3. Yes, I've done the MBTI. I'm INFP-T, the mediator. I look forward to reading 'Text, don't call' as soon as I can lay my hand on it. Thanks for sharing <3
ReplyDeleteNice! The book is a small book full of cartoons :)
DeleteHello Preetiji
ReplyDelete1)The. Chana baskets look yum and I am sure would be super delicious too.
2)The sketch is detailed and the lessons fantastic and happiness evident on the aged lady's face is priceless.
It's like you have not only sketched the old woman's body but also her soul fluttering around with unbridled joy while the cat sits Zen-like in her arms
It's almost like two polar opposites- the decline of age with the quantum increase in happiness and the power of agility(of the cat)along with its calm demeanor.The sketch is a spiritual lessen in itself.
ReplyDelete3)I know i speak far fetched things some times because thanx to you Mam i found out that I am a INFP-T Mediator personality more introverted,prospecting and feeling kind. Loved your idea of doing the test and spent a significant time analyising and over-analysing the results .
Haha..Glad!! It helps to know out personality types.
DeleteThank you for replying on my comments it makes me joyful and makes me smile long after I have read and re-read them.
ReplyDeleteMam pls write about this question-
In our times does love come with an expiriy date or rather has the shelf-life of relationships and intimacy reduced significantly?
Preetiji love each written word of yours.
100%Respect 100% Love
Will write about this. Lots of love to you too.

ReplyDeleteYou posts makes me recharge my Positive Energy. Ma'am can you please write something about Straight Forward Personalities. And, do suggest some Self-Help Books.
ReplyDeleteHi! Do google 'preeti shenoy's fav books' on youtube or you can check my IGTV where I have recommended books that made an impact on me. And yes, will try and write about straightforward people. (personally, I love them!)
DeleteThanks for replying Ma'am
DeleteI'm an INFP - T (Turbulent) and using my current lock-down taking an online class which is about Jungian Typology.
ReplyDeleteI want your views on "Falling Out of Love". When we realize that we are being attracted to another person though being in a relationship. The person with whom we are in a relationship is not a bad person at all, but we see that after the honeymoon phase reality dawns that they just do not 'get' us which leads us to go astray.
Please let me know...what you think about this.
Thankful to you mam. For writing for us...
