Life happens!

One of the biggest lessons I have learnt while adulting is that you can plan all you want, but life happens!

We continue to plan for the future which is uncertain. We get to busy making future plans and sticking to them, that we forget to live the present.

I read somewhere, "Life is all about collecting people to come to your funeral." This hit me hard.

This is what career race does to you, right?

We take life so seriously that taking out time for ourselves unless it adds to our career goal gives us the guilt trips.

This pandemic taught me to let go of all the guilt, grudges, bitterness because life is too short. Future is uncertain, nobody knows when the last goodbye is.

My goal for rest of the year is to be happy and positive. Let the little things go and change what I can change.

Waqt hai, beet jaega...

Kal time nahi tha, aj mood nahi hai...

Kal ek bar work from home chahiye tha, aj bas isse khatam krna chah rahe hai...

Kal ghar aur office k baad time nahi milne ki complain thi, aj kya karna hai itne time ka iski samaj nahi hai...

Kal 24 gante kam the, aj 24 gante bhi bhooooot lambe hai...

Phle jeena chahte the, tb kaam tha...Ab thodi kaam se fursat mili, toh jeena bhul gaye...

Yahi hai kuch din, karo jo karna chahte the: learn to dance/ sing/ paint/ cook, ya padhni thi koi book...  series khatam karo, purane school-college k doston ko yaad karo, kuch nahi toh aram lelo...

Yahi hai kuch pal...fir toh vahi office, vahi busy lives, vahi traffic vahi project deadline jhelo...bhul jao ghr, doston aur hobbies ko, sirf paisa jodo!

Gaur karna  fir se...Waqt hai,beet jaega!

"Waqt hai, Beet jaega"

Something that can be read in both, good and bad times...Like the current situation!

While so many deaths happening because of Covid-19, so many lives at risk, sense of terror, lockdown everywhere, limited resources, plenty of time and no where to go,nothing to do; the better thing is we are blessed to be at home, with our families.

We can either take this time to complaint about the situation (which anyway will not change the situation) or we take it as the time to slow down, relax, reinvent our hobbies, discover our interests or maybe nothing just count our blessings and be grateful.

Don't let yesterday's "time nahi hai yaar" be today's "mood nahi hai yaar".

So, Get up, see how this is not that bad either, do what you have be proscastinating for so long, learn to dance/sing/ play guitar/cook/ paint, pick up your phone and call your friend from school/ college with whom you lost touch, read books, finish your pending series, do movierathon...everything you couldn't because of busy lives!

After all, waqt hai...beet jaega!
