  • Cultural Traditions

    Are they society’s guilt traps to hold one back? Are they at times meaningless, irrational & outdated? Are you stuck following them with your head stuck in sand?

    Tradition & rituals without  context and meaning may seem like a headless chicken. Rather than giving you wings, they tie you back from making that flight. Try asking around and the elders are likely to snub you off or not be able to provide an explanation.

    Boon or bane

    So are you trapped for life, being a blind follower? How about trying to unearth the history, the reasoning the logic and then give it your own spin. Choose the relevant ones and take them ahead, tweaking for today’s world Make them memorable, joyous and create bonds for life with your loved ones. In short, traditions could be your present, as long as you learn to enjoy them, your own way 😁

  • Thought partners

    Some friends stay, some leave. I say enjoy the moments you make with them today, don’t worry whether the connection would last. They are your thoughts partners, your goss buddies, your agony aunt.

    Turn to them for discussing work – where would your growth come from, should you go turn left or right in the career junction now. Check with them all things domestic – drapes, recipes, laundry hacks. Share your parenting worries, childcare options and kids ailments. Dial them at odd hours with your stash of goss about relatives, in-laws and pesky neighbours.

    It takes a village, even for an adult. So surround yourself with the right people. Your next growth is going to depend on the circle you keep. 💜
