- By not asking them to work on the weekends
- By not sending a voice note when you think they are not very receptive
- Adding a message to the voice note, as well.
Off late, I have started feeling lonely. A lot.
A very close friend recently broke up with me. Without telling me. When I reached out, she did state the reason being something I did. But she broke up without telling me! Didn’t a friendship of 10 years deserve a closure? Perhaps even a fact that she felt bad because of something? She just left as it is… And when I suggested that even I felt bad because of a few things, she did agree to listen to those. But her response felt very cold. So I backed off.
But I do miss her. A lot. The “no-formality zone” of wishing each other on festivals, talking random things out of nowhere on WhatsApp, and most importantly, having someone to talk to when the world turned upside down, is what is missing.
But everything, almost everything always happens for good or better. And we will come out better from this – if we get back again. Or if we don’t.
- You don’t cry unnecessarily. Everything is telling you something out loud. Listen to it.
- The world goes along with what looks good. Ignore that and go for what feels good, will always make you feel good.
- If something is too good to be true, it is.
- Use your wisdom more than you use your ears and eyes. Not all that you see and hear is true.
- Take a break. You’ll be better off from it.
Everyone must write.
Or design.
Or paint.
Or edit videos.
Or shoot videos.
Or write a blog.
Or have an online cookie-selling business.
Or compose music and ship it.
Consistently.
Not to make money off it.
But to understand how any creative process works.
The time that goes into “creation.”
The time that goes into iteration or revision.
The time that goes into understanding the fact that anything that looks “simple” takes longer than complexity and urgency takes.
Otherwise, we are just chainless monkeys asking creative people to “deliver on this urgent project immediately” 18 days of the week, without being empathetic and perhaps even brutal to their art. And ultimately the quality of their “urgent task”.
Everyone is special. No one is. All of them come together to make us realise who we are.
How we treat ourselves, is how we treat others.
To have your self-respect means to see others in the same light as well. And that’s beautiful!
Everything changes, and that’s a good thing. If you were not attached to what you were changing!
But do you understand yourself?
Are you courageous and valiant?
Are you being there for yourself when no one else is there for you?
The only thing you must care about is understanding yourself. Rest all is dust.
Every moment is your time.
Every day is your platform.
Every action is being recorded.
If only, we viewed all our thoughts and actions in this light…
Whenever you want to do that, ask for help.
You would be surprised at what comes up!
Last 5 days were our team offsite, and it was so much fun!
I hadn’t expected it to be, but it did!
Why? Because:
- Had fun with two kids who are sooo much fun to hang around.
- We just smiled, and did no gossips about others.
- They know how to have fun within themselves, and everyone has fun with their presence.
I haven’t laughed as hard in a long long time, as I did with them.
1. What you speak to yourself matters.
2. How you speak to yourself matters.
3. How you speak to yourself when people are cruel to you is even more important.
Environment. Talking to yourself. Spending time in nature. Spending time away from work. Being kinder.
All of these help in meditation.
Nothing is solitary, everything is interdependent.
Writing your daily blog.
Journaling.
Getting ready for your daily workout.
Showing up despite your own life problems.
All these things take efforts.
But bearing the consequences of not doing these things, will take at least 3 years away.
Do you really want to sign up for that?
Be good. But don’t let ANYONE walk over you.
Everything that is true is uncomfortable, unless it becomes comfortable.
Life is the hardest, for the best people.
It is super easy and filled with more options, especially for those who give troubles to those.
If you are someone who is going through a tough time, may this post serve as a reminder to that.
- Learn to not make promises, when you and the receiver both know, that you are not going to keep them.
- Leaving from a party early makes you the real chief guest 🙂
- Insecurity is an inner emotion. Others may trigger it, but you are the one feeling it. Work towards making yourself stronger.
- A giver is always fulfilled.
- Your vibes and your thoughts drive the world. Always remember that!
Whenever you want to react, go for an outdoor walk for 10 minutes.
That would only do better things.

Went for a team party today.
Left at 8:30, reached 9:40.
Going to sleep now.
And then I realised, there should be no missouts for the blog. Thus, this blog.
And good night friends ❤️
Will share the pics soon…
When we feel bad, we are in huge reflective mode.
I will change things.
I will make my habits better.
I will say no more often.
I will finally work on that passion project.
That’s not wonderful.
What’s wonderful is, how many good habits you keep up to, when you actually feel good and are not forced to reconsider changing.
