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...

Grow through what you go through

Do you look back, often see yourself and realize that you have changed a lot? If you think that you fall in the above category, congratulations you are growing. This thought has been muddling me for quite a few days. So, I pondered upon it and realized that it is just that we are EVOLVING. Whoever said that life is meant to be hard, I genuinely second that belief. Rather, I'd say few notions are meant to be learned the hard way. Sometimes there comes a time all you wanted or wished to do: you can see falling right in front of you. Nevertheless, you are the decision maker whether you wish to learn, grow and move on or weep upon the same. Ultimately, your possible course of action can tell a lot about you. Recently, I was clustered in thoughts which made me hesitant and curious about how and when I will accomplish what I hoped for. However, don’t you think that it’s just the process? None of us wants to be on the darker side, but it’s that you go through and be a better version of y...

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...

Memories stay with us forever!

We come across so many people in our lives, sharing different equations with an individual. So many words spoken and unspoken, so many thoughts shared, so many emotions, so many memories, happiness, rejection, grief, and what not.  Each of us would definitely have some of the notable memories with someone be it even a stranger. Such moments stay immortal with us it doesn't matter whether it was positive or negative. Times have been such that it could be with someone whom you are in touch or maybe lost contact, but it's memories that associates you. Nevertheless there might not be a logic behind why do you recall certain specific incident but it stays in your mind forever.  We can either engrave the sweet memories and bury the painful in the grave and move on. I have seen people, who brood over the past, hence failing to make future it's victim. Some souvenir are such that you need to carry along with you, they become your shadows a part of yourself. Whereas they would never...
