A light in the darkness

So as I proceeded reading the book "So Good They Can't Ignore You_Why Skills Trump Passion," I came across the phrase " how to 'figure out what you want' and 'know what you'll be good at.'"  I had always read the story of Joseph, who had a dream of being in a high position and all his brothers and father and mother were under him. The next moment his whole family got against him, and the seed of jealousy was sown. As a result of this, he was sold to foreigners. The one who dreamt of big luck is now a slave in a foreign land.  The beautiful garden story has now turned to an anxiety arena. He is lonely, far, far away from all his near and dear ones. No one to lend a shoulder to cry on. A young boy of 17, all alone to fight. What would you have done if you were in such an overwhelming situation? Curse everyone! Be full of negativity! Take revenge! This 17-year-old boy had nothing but to do as commanded. He was full of ambition and dreams. He had...

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. Here is Chapter 5.  CHAPTER 5: Trailer for 2026: Create a mini trailer for 2026 creative life. Created by Canva This year I am interested in creating my own videos and posters using Canva. I had been successful so far. My trailer 2026 is in video for below. Image 1 is a Canva video, and Images two and four are by  Daniil Komov  on Unsplash and Debby Hudson on Unsplash.

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 ...

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

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...
