It has been a long time since I wrote a blog. But something within compelled me to sit down today and pen my thoughts, or to be technicaly correct- type my thoughts out. It wasn’t writer’s block, I was simply too preoccupied with other responsibilities that took precedence. And in the bargain, I missed out on doing what I love the most – Writing!

2025 has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, during which I experienced myriad emotions – hope, delight, fear, true happiness and disappointment. I continued moving from one day to the next without acknowledging these emotions, keeping my head down and working around the clock. And when I had some time to spare, I buried myself in a book, movie or web-series for comfort. However, something changed yesterday. A lovely lady happened to read a couple of my blogs and nudged me to take some time out to write. So here it goes…

The recent experiences have made me believe that life is special for each one of us, offering us endless opportunities to grow and learn lessons that no academic insitute or degree can provide. Each failure, broken dream, gets me closer to transform into something extraordinary. But, only if I am willing to look beyond my existing pain or disappointment. Only then, will I be able to blossom into a beautiful being, both inside and out.

As I type, I realise this is easier said than done, the pressure of being watched, judged and expected to perform flawlessly can overwhelm the greatest, so who am I? After acknowledging and typing this emotion, I get an immdiate answer deep within — I am answerable to no one, but the woman in the mirror, the only one I will truly compete with and strive to become a better version of myself each day. This realisation has helped melt away the unnecessary pressure to perform or succeed, like the release of a deep breath.

I will remember this valuable lesson and will make earnest attempts to embrace life and its lessons because life is too precious to live in regret. So, love you, Zindagi!
