Mom and her friends.

We tend to forget how much our mom sacrificed to be someone like what she is today. As I am spending lot of time lately with her, she always talks about her old friends, how much fun she had, how much she misses them and what all she did etc. But as everyone got busy with their life, they were not in touch apparently. So I made my mom found them on Facebook some months ago and some of them are actively available there. She was little hesitant because she had not been with them for like 25 years ago and more and so much had changed. But she was so delighted to connect with them. Facebook talks turned into WhatsApp chats turned into calls and today finally they met. Some on them came from different cities for this reunion and I was thrilled to be part of it. My mom was so excited from the morning about it and they chose to do things which they used to do in their old days. Strolling through local markets , eating local food, buying local items, what a delight it was. They even bought the same things as souvenir. I took so many pictures and they told me so many stories. Seeing my mom getting so happily emotional and childlike made me so happy that atleast she got a chance to reminiscence happy memories which she gradually had forgotten while being a good mom, good wife and a great daughter in law. Kudos to her. ❣️

I know what we have gone through and damn we are strong💪 We have dealt with all the upsides and downsides of our life with our best foot forward and a big smile and that determination.

May we support each other May we breed stronger women May we live our best May we be the strongest and happiest we have ever been May we never succumb to anyone or anything May we keep bumping into each other more often May we get all the love and support in the world May we become that strong that we don’t need all the love and support in the world May we follow our dreams before living anyone else’s dream May we keep ourselves our number 1 priority ALWAYS. Let’s promise to be the badass, the strongest, the happiest version of ourselves. Happy women’s day!

Clarity and hustle..

One of the biggest things we are dealing with in this ever-changing world is clarity. Clarity on what we want, what we wish, what we desire, and what we should fight for. Why we are not clear on things? Do you think this is maybe because of the abundance of options? but is that really the reason why we are not clear? Or is it because there is one more option which is quitting. My parents constantly tell me that in their whole life journey, they never had this option. They never had the luxury to give up on things. Because they always have to fight for even the smallest things. and us, the new generation 'think' we have time, we have resources and we have options. This 'Always hustle' or 'Never settle' culture is going to bring doom to us very soon. We are never going to be happy or satisfied with where we are. And this is not about only when we are young but this attitude change is going to affect us, even more, when we get older and we have lesser options.

Saturday Wisdom 101- Letting go.

Something in life is worth letting go of but you will only know that after you had experienced it before and we can predict the possible outcomes. Like - Arguing with parents or anyone on anything. Or arguments in general. You can't change anyone's opinion in one argument. FOMO. Trying to connect with the ‘friends’ who haven’t been there for you and you lost touch. Sad about getting a dream job but honestly not working for it. Prioritizing your career over EVERYTHING. Go to family functions because you mostly never have that option. Take up a job which you are not passionate about but good money. Seeing other people doing what you wanted to do but couldn’t. Expecting something from anyone just because you think you are closer to them. Something which is happening and we don’t have any power to change like aging, politics, natural calamities, etc. Other people’s opinions on you. It anyways shouldn’t affect you at any point in time. You are not supposed to compete with anyone for
