CHAPTER 1: Passion Percolation

This season I have thought to reflect on the book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari." After deciding this, I landed on a new book, which caught my attention. This book is "So Good They Can't Ignore You." CHAPTER 1 I think this decision to write on this chapter is apt for this hour. Since I do not want to disclose many things from my life, I would stick to my enlightenment at this moment. So, today's discussion is on Steve Jobs. Over the years, he had been my inspiration, but this story of his I did not know. So, Jobs actually began his college life as a student of Western history and dance at the leading Reed College. Sounds weird, for the tech world knows him as a visionary and pioneer of the personal computer revolution. That is true.  In order to make you understand what I saw in Steve Jobs story, I was carried to read the section of the book "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. In this book he describes logotherapy, which focuses on th...

A big thank you to #Blogchatter for connecting us to ourselves with all these challenges. You all had taken good care of us all, not only in the writing field but also in creating us to be what we ought to be. The last challenge of this year is chapter 5.

My strength

I still remember this task from last time also, when we had to remember three people who supported us. When I read this chapter, it carried me to a course that I did, "Resilience." In this course, the trainer taught us to chart all people whom we can seek for support. We have to join them to us with a continuous line. Then he asked us to remember those people whom we just can't rely on. They were connected to us with dotted lines showing a broken connection. When I did this drill, I came to know I still have more social support than enemies. This workout changed my perspective towards life.  CHAPTER 4: Supporting cast appreciation post—Shoutout 3 people who supported your year as a creator. Created by Canva Life is a journey, and walking alone is no choice. My passing-out year too has gems that made me go all the way.  The first one is my special friend who had been a constant support. When I felt like falling down, my friend was right there to push me another mile. When ...

Bingo time

Image
Created by Canva The rule of life is to enjoy every bit. The stress and uncertainty of life steals everything from us. Amidst this chaos, #Blogchatter never forgets to bring to us the small moments of reflection and joy. Among all of them is #BlogchatterWrapParty2025, which helps us to pause and enjoy these small happinesses at least for a while and makes us smile.  CHAPTER 3: Create your bingo: Fill up a bingo card created by Blogchatter. When we were planning to be part of this wrap party and the bingo card was shared for the first time, I finished this task first before even planning for other posts because this carried me to all my achievements and milestones I have covered. So here is my bingo card. Created by Canva This blog is for #BlogchatterWrapParty

The turning point 2025

Image
Created by: Canva Every rising sun of December 2025 brings the chilling breeze which says, "It's time to say goodbye." This goodbye has many things to say. We often do not find time to reflect on it but with BlogchatterWrapParty, we preserve this time as well as memories.  So, the second chapter of the wrap party is the plot twist of 2025—share one unexpected thing that changed your year creatively or personally. PLOT TWIST 2025 I was looking to transition to a new job. I applied for two posts; one was a good one, and the other one was a little less good. I wished to get the good one, but it did not happen, and the less good one was given to me. This was a kind of step back. I took the call and stepped back in this post. In the beginning, the path seemed challenging, as it was not in sync with what I wanted. I patiently endured it and waited for the right time. I got that moment after 3-4 months, when I spoke in detail about the strategic improvement plan. Everyone apprec...

The Silver Lining

  T The journey with Blogchatter has always been a blessing year after year. This year, even though I had been too engaged with various other commitments, the Blogchatter team has kept us all united with all their creative workouts.  So, as we approach the year-end, the Blogchatterwrap party remains the perfect time to preserve all our memories and say thank you to the Blogchatter team. It is time now to begin my wrap-up party with Blogchatter. CHAPTER 1 This chapter asks us to give a title to the year we are about to finish. Title: 2025: The Silver Lining Blurp: Life is a mixture of good days and bad days and nothing we can ignore. Bad days teach us lessons, and good days carve memories. None of us want these hardships, but still we have to live them. Amidst these dark days, even the slightest silver linings give meaning and direction to our sinking lives. Grabbing these silver lining moments weaves the bright to the heaven of our achievements.  This post is for #Blogch...

Raison d'etre

 This poem is inspired by Mary Oliver's poem " The Summer Day ." I have borrowed 1, 4, 11, 16-19 Who made the world? With different skin and structure living together in this cosmic aperture fulfilling their own called ventures; amidst them all I found one such friend—the grasshopper. This grasshopper, I mean— one with a green coat, long green hopping appendages and bright bulging globe with compounded lens covering wider panes; often seen taking leaps from one green blade to another. Donned in humbleness it approached with folded limbs offering a prayer wish. So, please don't question what is it searching for among the green blades or basking on a green. Sometimes daydreaming and wandering in thoughts might seem waste of time and a useless deed for a fast-paced world of ours. Don't be blinded by these standards which are nowhere universal; for every individual is unique with unreplicable idiosyncrasy that leads them into their generativity. Now, once I know this ...
