It’s never too early or too late

This lazy Sunday , it becomes our moral duty not to anger the Weekend Gods, thereby wrapping ourselves in bed until the noon , ordering a brunch at our doorstep , planning a thoughtless show over streaming services and so on …😆

I’m absolutely not against such a weekend plan , but just check if this drives your spirit high or makes it more of a mess.

These were my conventional dialogs too once upon a time -

I need to relax , my weekdays were hectic ..

I’ve been waiting for this weekend nap ..

Weekends are meant to chill..

Trust me , I don’t even realize a weekday or a weekend now , the reason being I dont confine my routines to weekdays or weekends , I don’t restrict my happiness to the weekend happy hours , my weekends are meant to be more SPECIAL , burning those extra calories instead of adding upon , when this pandemic not letting you go out , why don’t you take your time out to “GO WITHIN”

When was the last time , you did something for the first time ?

Plot a scoreboard and analyze that extra mile you took this pandemic, may it be in terms of your health , identifying and investing time on a passion that you’ve always wanted to, acquiring that additional skillset your career role demands , any and every routine or an action towards your passion / goal that you’ve always thought of . Every thought is supplied with an energy source , I know for most of us, the lockdown routine has also become so mechanical , thus to make it interesting why don’t we figure out that task of ours which drives us crazy. As far I have seen , it is only few fortunate people who have turned their passion to profession, may be it’s our turn now to give it a try…

Just begin , take a step forward and the destiny defines your journey …

Several years ago , a farmer who failed fulfilling his duties as head of the family headed towards his farmland with last hope in his hands — a bag full of rare bamboo species.

With a strong belief that they would sprout one or the other day , the farmer personally watered these seeds. Days passed by , months passed by , there was no sign of seeds sprouting , the farmer did not lose hope as this was his last try after which he neither had resources to support him nor believed in any miracle to save him from his financial crunches.

With growing seasons , Spring arriving earlier, Winters being shorter and number of freezing days declining , farmer saw the neighboring fields sow their second round of crops , while his seeds were yet to sprout. He waited for years after which his neighbors started laughing at him , throwing tantrums. The very next morning we woke and decided to take away his life , his instincts dragged him to the field one last time. He came home jumping with joy and shouting , tears rolled out of his eyes while neighbors confirmed his madness , his tears expressed joy for the reason that his seeds weren’t dead , the green sprouts were bursting out of the ground. Within a span of next 6 weeks , the entire village was speechless by the breath taking 90 feet tall bamboos that grew in the farmers field. While everyone thought that the seeds were dead or rotten , this rare species of bamboo grew beneath the surface making its roots so strong to support height of 80–90 feet.

Aren’t most of our lives similar to these bamboo , with a desire deep rooting within , any and every aspirations can be achieved when its moved ONE STEP AHEAD…

While you climb three floors of a building to reach your home , you start at the FIRST STEP of the ground floor , you wouldn’t be able to see the entire three floors at your first site , when you plan to build a company of your own , it is the draft with which you begin & improvise per your demanding requirements , there isn’t a perfect plan at once anywhere , everything starts as a scratch and then makes a record.

Make your soul happy , the rest of your way is taken care.

I always felt happy expressing my views through blogs , I had been writing such contents for my friend’s website and only then did I realize that writing was also my “Cup of Tea”…

What do you prefer ordering in a restaurant?

I still remember my childhood when my family visited restaurants over weekends . The menu would remain the same every weekend , the same platter beginning with Tomato Soup , Masala Papad , Gobi Manchurian , North Indian breads , may it be a pulao or a fried rice followed by curd rice and wrapping up with an ice-creamThis may be the case with many of us around ..

When I look back, I still see how resistant enough were we to even decide on a different menu . The routine is set so hard that many of us in this pandemic require managing the office hours and keeping up with the personal commitments too.

I feel it’s absolutely OK to take a break , move out of our comfort zone for a while , experience that adventurous, that fulfilling, that desire of ours that kept burning within this long.

The clock is set to the right time now for you to experience those hidden , joyous and much awaited abilities , improve your competency such that you grow stronger and stronger , deeper and higher to reach your expertise. May it be our profession or our passion , 0.1% of that extra efforts every day would take us through an admirable , fascinating progress…

Follow your Heart .Live your dream . Be Passionate.Happiness is yours to take. Never give up.Your energy is limitless.Embrace Possibility.

Love your Life
