“Dhoni finishes it off in style, India lifts the World Cup after 28 years".
2nd April 2011,
Among the overexcited fans, there was one guy in the stadium who was worried.
He thought about the age of the Indian cricketers: ‘many are younger than me’!
While everyone was celebrating the victory, he felt like a nobody.
’Just an average guy living just another average life.’
Dhoni’s six brought him back to the ground.
“The truth can do this to you. It can bring you down on your knees. But it is fair as well. It will give you a chance to stand again, provided you are willing to.”
“Many people die in their 20s and are buried in their 80s.”
Keith tried. He tried to find a way out of this vicious cycle.
Will he succeed in changing his life? Well, that is for you to read and feel.
But I will tell you one thing,
It shows how brutal the journey can be.
But but but, having said that,
It also shows that following your heart gives you a strange type of strength to face those challenges.

On a Monday morning, 2 am to be precise, I wrote a few lines that I strongly believe in and want for myself. Do you connect with it? I posted on Instagram too. Here are the verses:
I love Mondays
They bring me reality,
Far away from the ‘freedom’ of Fridays
I get a sense of clarity.
Don’t you love Monday?
Doesn’t it bring a new vision to reality?
I heard people get blues
Any reasons, what’s the rationality?
Shouldn’t it be fun
To love the life you live Or live with practicality?
So what’s so practical, they ask
I guess it’s the courage to walk away from commonality.

Picture of the month:
I sat there watching this kid so engrossed in mining his gold, playing in the sand.
Visual treat!
I loved playing in the sand.
It’s a different feeling altogether.
‘Like when you sit near a beach and waves come and suddenly you’ll feel like the ground beneath you is disappearing and then you sink a bit lower.♡’
Personal Rambling:
I read this book first in 2020 when I was out of college and had yet to enter my job. At that time, I related to the feeling of doing something different but never did I think of going on a journey similar to that described in the book. The same book in 2020 meant differently. The same in 2022 means differently. You see, how a book can mean differently to the same person at different stages of life?
Until next month
Take care and keep shining!
