Juggling Between Work and Life Since 2017

As Bunny says, "Main udna chahta hoon, daudna chahta hoon, girna bhi chahta hoon. Bas, rukna nahi chahta", my life has been going on the same lines for the last two years now. That is not what I had planned initially but I have realized at this point in my life that I literally cannot imagine myself staying idle. I started interning and working from home since my school days. At that stage, it was all about earning some extra pocket money to buy the favorite Monginis Burger after school. Now it's not even on the priority list. Sadly House rent, Grocery, Electricity bills, and many other bills! have taken up all the spaces.

But it would be a lie if I say that I never feel exhausted or miss taking a long nap. Since the day I moved to Delhi from Kolkata, it has been all about study, work, stress, repeat. However, I believe in living to the fullest and I am smiling through all this struggle as well. Because I know it is just a phase but an inevitable one to achieve something. Now if you ask me, "What is it that you want to achieve?" Trust me I have no idea. All I know is that if you are on the right path, the right things are bound to come your way. And there is just one way to know if it's the right path or not. Ask yourself, "Are you happy with the direction your life is heading to?" Your heart always knows the answer.

It has been more than a year in Delhi now and I have already shifted from 3 houses, switched 2 jobs and suffered a Back injury. Well! the Back injury was the biggest bummer. I was advised to be on bed rest for 2 months and that was next to impossible for someone as impatient as me. However, I had to, so I took a break from everything and went back to Kolkata. But I could not just survive on rest. I again started looking for freelance opportunities, tried learning new skills and started this Blog. This Blog is actually a sigh of relief in my chaotic schedule. So, even on my busiest days, I try to take 5 minutes out to at least think of what to write next. Once I was back on my feet I just booked a flight and came back to Delhi with a decision that I'll make the most of this life now. In the last month, I have started learning Swimming, planned a sudden trip to Rishikesh and tried to get socially active again.

I have now realized that it is not just about the schedule or time. It is more about your priorities and how you picture your life to be. Maybe I needed that long setback to understand that it is okay to live for yourself for a while. A full stop is important to create a meaningful sentence.
