It feels so good to get back to writing after a little break. Also I have been fishing for a good topic to write on and finally came up with this one - LIVE IT UP!! (Sounds so catchy).My recent conversations and observations has lead to me thinking that how life has changed from what it used to be. There is this typical life cycle that one follows from schooling to college then marriage/job followed by kids and then their education and the cycle repeats . Well does it always have to be this way ? Have you lost your identity in this chain of events ? Are you content from within ? May be some are and may be it's more of a comfort zone for a few. In this routine where have you placed yourself in terms of what you actually want to do in life and have you put your happiness aside for the ones around you? Mind you, putting your happiness over others is not being selfish its about living it up, as long as you are not causing any collateral damage. The fear of societal acceptance is so...
Its wonderful to see how some of your friends are doing amazing things with their life and working hard towards achieving their dreams. I remember having a lot of friends while growing up (well I was a chatty kid) and as I started moving up the ladder of life I lost in touch with quite a few in the process. when I moved to Chennai 4 years ago I did not know anyone around . So one day I happened to go visit the community centre, I sat there all by myself trying to fit in and suddenly I hear a bubbly voice calling out my name. I turn back to see my very old vivacious friend Nafisa. Life throws such pleasant surprises at you. Nafisa Johar and I were friends in our gawky teens Haha !! This gawky teen has now grown to be an active wife/mother and an entrepreneur . Not just life but even she surprised me hehe. !!. This girl confidently tells me about her first venture " Alana " . This started in Dec 2012 in collaboration with Alifya Yemani. P.S. Alifya's bright smile...
