It has been a tough start to the month. An ankle twist while on a walk/run resulting in a bad ligament burst and my left leg 🦵 is in a cast until the end of the month. I have been told this type of injury may take a year or two to heal but am not thinking about it now and stressing myself more. Wallowing in self-pity (yes I am prone to doing that as well) - its terribly tough to take bath, manage groceries, pains and itches - was not an option. Today was the day to get up, dress up, show up. For the real good news along with the not-so-good news health-wise is that I begin teaching after a year. Such is life as they say! I join Delh School of Journalism - Delhi University as a visiting faculty where I will be teaching the course 'Media, Industry and Governance' for now to third year students of Journalism. Teaching is a space I have held along with my regular jobs and work since 2008. It helps me read and learn, interact and engage with minds from across the country. I thoroughly enjoy it and I hope the students feel and say the same. While I could not have been happier driving down to DU if physical classes were happening, am thankful for once that I could begin right away online in this condition. PS: Grateful for the opportunity for work and more new work is a good distraction for an overthinking head that needs to be silenced. Second, I keep pushing myself with this line that plays like a constant refrain in my head #LangdaTyagiBahubali Which means I ain't getting over Bollywood ever!😂 Third, methinks, whether an almost broken leg, messy mood, head or heart style mein kami nahi aani chahiye, could have been another short caption for this post. #photodump from #wednesday morning before I began the class. Wore this over a decade old shirt after ages. ❤️🙌🌻 . . . #love #work #manageyourmind #teach #grow #learn #journalism #media #teaching #ootd #oldshirt #shirtandshorts #whiteshirt #coach #academia #newbeginnings #delhiuniversity #DU #delhischoolofjournalism #delhieyes (at Delhi School of Journalism) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSce7I_BwPB/?utm_medium=tumblr
