I’ve just managed to finish my long due 30 days of gratitude project and wanted to recount what gratitude means, for me, personally. It’s been a journey to think of and acknowledge people in my life who inspired me and made me feel more self-assured and improve as a person at work or life. It’s also…
Day 30: There’s a vast sea between bosses and mentors. Anyone who has had one would agree. Who’s a mentor, you ask? For me, it’s one of those few things that I find easy to define. It’s simply someone whose time I feel greedy for. Like Sai’s. In another lifetime, Sai had said that all these…
Day 29: It took way longer than I expected. But sometimes it just does, right? I am beginning to learn that I need to tone down my self-loathing.Like today, I realized, I could have walked over to the coffee shop for writing, or made some yummy mutton, and messaged Shaunak years ago instead of writing this post…
Day 28: *This is a post that I want to read to myself each day. As a reminder, that starting your life now is possible, but not easy. And I am inherently grateful to people whose inspiration I follow.* My first boss after I came back from Scotland, was called Jaya ma’am. From my first…
Day 27: My parents are usually kind. And by that I mean, they fight with softness and sometimes that world around them needs more than just that. The biggest influence in my life that’s allowed me to fight my battles and get my way around people who’re just a pain in the backside has been…
Day 26: I’m sorry for anyone who doesn’t have this person in their lives. But, I am thrilled to announced that I do. Have you ever wondered how you could make your life more interesting? Discovering the brightest ideas. It really is how you bring new ideas into your banal 9 to 5 existence. We all go through…
Day 25: This gratitude thing is on a roll recently :-). I’m not complaining. I am here to share happiness. After my fight with Facebook and this need to get anonymous happened in 2012, I slowly built it back. Naturally, some people were sacrificed in the transfer. Like transferring contacts from old SIM cards, I do occasionally churn…
Day 24: These days, as I’ve now entered the dreaded “year 2” of a Startup adventure, I’ve been needing a little more inspiration than usual. Success starts with a belief that this feeling of uneasiness will pass too. So, this one naturally fit the bill. Brandanew began in Germany, and my first new Indian client was…
Day 23:I haven’t written my gratitude posts in a while. It’s not that I didn’t paint them, but I did get off tracked a bit. These drawings were made in August last year, so it’s been a while…Moving on, admittedly for the longest time, I wanted to do nothing with teaching, because my mother has been…
I think my dad will never grow old. Even if today, it’s a 60– Happy birthday to my dad! Because he won’t ever stop working. And between us we won’t stop being optimistic. About nothingness and things we love. I always have and will be my mother’s child because she’s the most open hearted and well…
