Work & Business

Why you MUST take an off

Even though you love your work,
Even though you feel energised,
Even though your boss is super-supportive by not micromanaging you

You must take an off on the weekends and on the festivals.

Because things that are meant to be enjoyed and relished are the things that are meant to be enjoyed and relished.

There is no substitute to not spending time with yourself and reflecting, because only in emptiness you get to understand yourself.

Which makes you all the more productive when you return to work.

Life

Lit 🔥

Looking at sunshine.

Looking at moonlight.

The light that you are looking for, is the light that is within.

The question is, do the clouds of the life that hold you back hamper your light, or your sunshine shines irrespective of anything else in the world?

Happy this Dushehra?

As a kid, we used to go to my Naani’s home to witness Ravan being slayed.

Over a period of time as we grew up, Nana passed away and Naani got older, the tradition stopped.

This time, when there is no Dushehra mela, it reminds of something deeper: that some day there will be nothing more.

And it won’t be sad. It would rather be a reminder of how much inner evils we need to uproot. Because if we have uprooted all of them, we’d be happy by default.

Family-Holi! 🙃

It’s a festival in India – Holi. It means a lot of us who work in metro cities are at home celebrating the festival with our families.

I had read somewhere once, “if you think you’re enlightened, try spending a week with your family.”

When we are going to spend time with our families, it’s going to be

– a conflict of opinion

– a need to gain validation from them no matter how much we know we aren’t going to get it

– most importantly, the need to get up and get indulged in our phones.

Avoid all of these, not only 1 and 3. All three.

You’ll be happier.

And leave your family happier.

Happy Holi folks!
