Stepping out for the first time during pandemic

Precisely 84 days since I stepped out from my home. I came/shifted to my city right after lockdown started, little did I know that it would lead to such major pandemic and I will be the few lucky ones who  are going through all of this along with the family.
So thanks to all the pampering and me being super lazy, i didnt want to step out at all. I was happy in my cocoon. Even stepping out gave me a mini heart stroke until very recently my maternal grandmother actually had a stroke and procrastinating for a week, I finally got hold of my courage and stepped out. 
I thought it would be spooky ,empty roads and all that. But apparently people are stepping out. Just like people were carrying their helmet to avoid penalty, all thanks to the govt, now they are keeping their face covered with masks. I was surprised to see roads busy like old times. 
Just a brief history, I haven't been in my hometown after Diwali last year and even when I came here this time, my only travel was from airport to home. So it was quite overwhelming to see those streets after good 7-8 months, never happened before for sure.
And what can I say about that shops who sells delicious snacks and sweets and we used to stop there to satisfy our cravings but now I can just stare at them and worse, their sweet smell. Oh lets not think about that anymore.
I was pretty sure I will crack a century of not stepping out but fate had something else in his mind. (So filmy, duh)
So my nani is all right now, I met her and I won over my fear.
P.S I followed all possible precautions I can. I am a responsible person.
Stay home , stay safe.

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...

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.  ...
