Day 23 – Adding happiness in my daily life

Posted on August 24, 2023August 26, 2023 by Sonali

As I gained wisdom, I realised that happiness is not something to chase but what you experience. And we have to make a conscious effort to add it to our lives especially in this world where we are surrounded with things pulling us down rather than lifting us up. I feel happy in small things…

Day 16 – What ignites your brain?

Posted on August 17, 2023 by Sonali

This question is very simple to answer for me – I get ignited by learning. I love the company of people where I can have open discussion and share varied points of view. I grew up in an environment where healthy debates were encouraged. We used to have all sorts of conversations on our dinner…

Day 15 – my favourite memories

Posted on August 16, 2023 by Sonali

Ahhh memories – that is what makes a rich life. I am lucky that I have a life full of memories where the good outnumber the bad! My favourite memories are of my childhood, growing up in a small town in simpler times. I grew up in a middle class family where we may not…

Day 13 – How have I changed in the past 3 years?

Posted on August 14, 2023 by Sonali

Change is the only constant. If you don’t change, you don’t grow. That is one thing I am proud of – I change and adapt and grow as I learn. And everyday life is the biggest teacher! One of the biggest thing I have learnt is about people. I am by nature a trusting person…

Day 12 – Three excuses I often make!

Posted on August 13, 2023 by Sonali

This is hard but one of the challenges I have set for myself is to be vulnerable and what better day to do it but my birthday blog! I always have excuse about time, or rather the lack of it. I know, like a lot of working woman, I am genuinely short of time juggling…

Day 11 – What can I do to simplify my life?

Posted on August 12, 2023 by Sonali

Ahhh the quintessential question. If I were to start again, I would love on a tiny home on an acreage surrounded by moss, trees and nature. I now appreciate how people used to leave home and become a sadhu when they get older. But as it is hard to become a sadhu; the world is…

Day 10 – What do you feel strongly about?

Posted on August 10, 2023 by Sonali

I am a passionate individual and feel strongly about a lot of things. But if I have to pin one thing, it is the freedom of individuals. I am a big supporter of a free world and power of people. I have had arguments with friends and acquaintances about what is freedom and restriction of…

Day 9 – If you had to add something to humanity, what would your contribution be? 

Posted on August 10, 2023 by Sonali

This was a strange question. I have added to humanity by just being on this earth. But my contribution would be to be a human, not just in form but by practicing basic human values of equality, love, care, compassion and above all kindness. As I have mentioned before, it is our responsibility to leave…

Day 8 – What adventures do you want to have?

Posted on August 8, 2023 by Sonali

Life is an adventure if you live it right. I want to have many adventures in my life, some conventional and some non conventional. I want to travel to my chosen countries in my lifetime. I am not adventurous about visiting all the lands – some of the ones, where freedom for women is still…

Day 7 – What kind of life would make you jealous? 

Posted on August 7, 2023 by Sonali

I am not jealous by nature about anything in life. So another life that would make me jealous is out of question. I love the life I live and it is a journey and all the little decisions that have been taken have brought me where I am today. I do have “what ifs” that…
