Growing Up: Part Of Life, Not A Choice

Growing up is a part of life, not a choice.

Although, we always wish to keep on growing in our life in terms of financial stability, job security & emotional support.

Because growing up results in accomplishment which makes life satisfactory and worth living and also we don’t have a chance to take a U-turn, so it is the only option to move forward.

But, have you ever felt that being a child was more satisfactory than growing up and moving on in life?

I always cherish my childhood memories whenever I look up any child who is living his life full of fun. But at the same time I feel a sudden nostalgia for childhood too.

For example,

Festival means friends, gifts, enjoyment and lots of tasty food for a child.

Being a child, it was a different enthusiasm for festivals which is somewhere vanished nowadays and now it is a mere responsibility to attend.

A friend in need is a friend indeed- Always ready to visit a friend’s place.

Being a child, visiting relatives /friends’ place was a pleasure and it was always on the top of our list of vacations – which I miss badly.

Time management: 24 Hours were meant to play, sing and dance in a child’s life

Being a child, Involvement in extracurricular activities was at the peak that taking a nap or rest was the worst thing to do, now after work and office, this is the only thing remained in life.

Planning of Life: Revolves around friends, school and stationery.

Being a child, planning and savings included- deciding a gift for a friend, purchasing different colored pens or stationary in the market, buying Greeting cards and then writing the best quotes on teacher’s day and purchasing lots of glitter pens, colored tapes, and colors to write in scrapbooks and then exchanging them with friends.

The only tension in life was how to smile when a tooth is falling out.

Tensions of Life: Falling tooth, homework not done and not to play or eat Ice-cream when sick.

And, so on as childhood is full of interesting cherishable moments which we all want to live again and again.

It’s a kind of nostalgia we all go through at some point in time in our life.

So, which moment of your life you want to live again?

Please share in a comment section, I would love to be part of your childhood.

Work-Life Balance

From childhood, we have been appreciated for doing things fast, That ad of Dettol saying “Tera sabun slow hai kya” hints towards acting and accomplishing things quickly & also nurturing the same in our mind.

With this thought process in mind, when we enter the real world (basically after school/college life) where things are moving fast, we are living in between smart gadgets, our mobile phones are smart & are being smarter day by day with new updates & versions, we may feel the heat of competition everywhere not only with our colleagues or our generation but with our own self too.

It feels like if we are not changing with time, one day we may become obsolete & thus we need to keep on 🏃.

But, somewhere inside our mind, we all may want to 🚫 & enjoy life, feel the growth, celebrate & cherish the moments we have accomplished.

What’s your take on it & how you are managing your life?

For me- life is not about 🏃 towards your goals only but also making ma moments cherishable & a life worth living by managing the time equally for our work-life & our personal life.

First Salary

Like your first love your first salary and first purchase is also remembered for life time.

I love the day when I got my first salary in my hand, I was so thankful to God and my parents for that day.
Literally, I visited a temple near to my home, but dint offer any 💵 in the temple, just visited here to say thanks face to face 😍.

Then, next day I had purchased a nice 👛 for me.I am fond of different varieties of bags and purses, so I bought a one for me and def other stuff for my family as well.

But, I still like and miss that purse of dark brown colour and it was almost like TOTE bag.

I cherish that day of my life.

What you purchased from your first salary?
