Jam Jar

In this transition, each of us has become future-ready even before we thought of it, similarly, we have also obtained so many options unlatched. When we were kids, we all wanted to become a doctor, someday a lawyer, or maybe run a business or something. Skip to 20 years and you see different career choices right in front of you. The follow-up question is how does one know which career is best suited for them? So, I happened to recently read this book The Defining Decade by Meg Jay- which had a very beautiful case study I’d like to share. It is called the Jam experiment, so they choose a local grocery store to understand one's life choices. So, there were two conditions, one which has six flavors available for tasting, whereas in the second condition it has six plus the eighteen more flavors of jam. Cut to the chase study showed that the twenty-four-flavor table attracted more attention yet resulted in fewer buyers. Shoppers flocked to the exciting array, yet most became overwhelmed

Mumbai

Mumbai, as rightly said is not just a city but an emotion. This situation has really amazed us on shutting down of things for a while and we miss them.

Lifeline of the city, locals have been shut, this is the longest interruption of services we have come across. Being late and seeing the train late too, is such a blessing in disguise, and ofcourse during the peak hours how adventure it is to travel. Where each of us would unquestionably have a story to talk about. Hearing some strangers gossips and then pretending that you did not listen, oh c'mon all of us do that. From every song you listen, and the joy of the window seat is all that you need. Every friend who is your travel partner. Unlike other Indian cities where we have ‘train friends’ who by virtue of travelling everyday in the same railway compartment become friends.

Next thing which occurs my mind and I miss the most is Juhu beach where begger would have definitely tried tricking you, but just better be smart!. I would say it's a place where I would miss my 7am lectures and chill with my friends. Place with peaceful atmosphere and if it's after the sunset I undoubtedly having pav bhaji and the gola. Okay, I miss this a little too much. Just so I am in nostalgia, it jogs my memory with Marine Drive. A sight to behold and every individual's favourite place in Mumbai. You haven't even lived right if you haven't sneaked with your friends and been to Marine Drive. Ahhh!!. I am pretty sure you would have once spend time with your special one talking about serious things in life.

Not just these places but every other place in Mumbai. Every commotion, whether it's just a traffic jam, street food not to forget vadapav and cutting chai, noise of dhol during Indian weddings, or Ganpati, unexpected climatic changes, to every joy and demise we could celebrate as a whole. I just hope that things get back to normal untill then let's be grateful for what we have and wait to relive every moment.

The Ride of a Lifetime

Disney is something we have grown up watching. So, I have been longing to read this book by Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. If you like reading business books then this is definitely a quality choice to make, so again if you don’t like reading or not aspiring to be CEOs this leadership book can help you in personal life too. These are six takeaways from this book: 1. Leadership : Iger tells why is it vital to create space in daily life to let your thoughts wander your job. While sharing his journey he mentions his relation with Steve Jobs and how he always remembered him and his lessons and one beautiful thing Iger mentions about him is that “How Steve was great weighting all sides of an issue and not allowing negatives drown out positives, particularly for things he wanted to accomplish.” That’s a powerful quality to learn.  2. Innovation: As this happened in an early 2000' due to rapid change in technology, they had to adapt it. Time in time Iger recalls

Change is the only constant

Everyday is a fresh start, each daylight is different from the other. We face changes in our regular life be it in our schedule, relations, simple weather changes and so on. We have to absorb these changes however the way they are. Considering the situation which we all are going through, and where every second people are fading. Do you ever take a moment to be grateful that you can read this while you are alive? Earlier we couldn't operate as it was a sudden stop to our lives; our brains simply couldn't process that we had shut into our homes. The shock was such that we realized that our social life needed to be held back. More like our fast living life was forced to be on a break. Beauty about human is that we don't settle for anything, we need time but we adapt. One essential thing we realise in such situations is that we have to pull out time for ourselves. I have seen that people have started reacting practically for their health and priorities. Changes aff
