I reflected on a WhatsApp discussion where we admired athletes like Vinesh and Manu Bhaker but realized most parents, including mine, discourage kids from pursuing sports due to uncertainties.
It highlights the need for a mindset shift towards exploring unconventional paths.
During a funeral, I was reminded of life’s fragility.
Realizing we can’t take anything with us, I let go of past grudges and negative emotions.
It was a transformative moment, leaving me lighter and more at peace with myself.
After watching *Inside Out 2*, I realized that we’re not always supposed to be joyful.
The movie highlighted emotions like anxiety and sadness, showing how they impact us daily.
Our response to these emotions shapes our life based on beliefs.
A few months ago, my family and I went to Manali and Rohtang.
Despite the challenges, my energetic teenagers pushed me to embrace new experiences.
This reminded me how important it is to have enthusiastic people around to reach greater heights.
I’ve never cooked before, relying on my mother, sister, and tiffin services.
But when my wife was away, I decided to try cooking.
I succeeded in making rice, dal, and paneer bhurji, surprising myself.
Sometimes, taking initiative leads to unexpected achievements.
I first met Mohit Gupta, an innovator and excellent orator, at his City Book Leaders Club events.
Now, through his venture Frob, he hosts diverse sessions at “Utsav” in Aerocity.
Inspired by his passion, I’m reflecting on how to uncover my own.
I fondly remember Prof Kapil, a brilliant professor and great human.
His passing reminded me of life’s fleeting nature.
As I wrote in my book, we have about 25,000 days. Let’s make the most of the time we have.
We have about 25,000 days on this planet.
One day became a part of the history books yesterday.
Another day which is today would be gone in a couple of hours.
Tomorrow is also just around the corner!”
I recently got a chance to enrol for a demo dance class.
I was nearly out of breath by the time the class got over. I simply kept pushing myself because of the trainer.
He seemed to be in the zone.
His energy was contagious..
We’ve always looked upto college professors with more respect than school teachers.
This needs to change.
