Kahaani ka saar

It's over a year since I wrote something here and maybe because there wasn't much time to ponder over things or things to ponder over.

Either ways, there are always learnings and lessons and these are the ones that I have.

  1. Focus on people and things that add positive energy. Discard those who sap it out and contribute only the negatives.
  2. It's good to say no, I disagree or I cannot comply.
  3. Work life balance is not an individual goal or possibility. It is a shared task and not a goal.
  4. Focus on some or fail on all.
  5. Always move forward.  
  6. Family comes first, friends come next. All else is the world or acquaintances as we call it and it - does not matter.
  7. Focus on what you want. All else follows.
  8. Happiness has a recipe.
  9. Spare time is gold.
  10. Financial planning is a great routine.
  11. Gifting is therapeutic. 
  12. Airport arrivals are the happiest places on earth (almost as much as school gates at 3pm on a Friday).
  13. Emails are warm blankets when written to or received from friends.
  14. Work is endless, hours in a day arent.
  15. Thank you and welcome are the best things you can say to strangers.
Fin.

It'll come as no surprise but #6, #11 and #12 are my favourites. There's something magical about the arrivals gate. Reminds me of this bit from Love Actually: https://bit.ly/1uwWcVy <3

I am in a phase of recovery and discovery. Its been a while since I listened to something with quite a zeal and passion in such a way that I pick up a pen and scribble away.  This season its John Mayer, Oasis, Lucky Ali and a few others that are constantly at my beck and call thanks to a button called - replay.
