Birthday No. 33 and I must say it was beautiful, courtesy family, friends that are now family, a network that is more than friends and of course, the network that is an extended family.
First and foremost, heartful gratitude to every connection who reached out and wished me. Obliged and grateful. I am more than happy to be connected with each of my connects.
Slowly and steadily, moving to the mid-30’s feels like the freshmen, just going into the college, looking to shape up the journey with utmost fun as well as memories that will remain for a lifetime.
The few difference between the two phases of life, I could clearly notice is –
1. Clarity : Today I know the path that I am walking or the one I want to walk, just additional courage and a bit of more networking is needed.
2. Health : It is taking a priority. Physical as well as Mental.
3. Spend Power & Investment : Of course, spend power has increased multiple times. Back in the day, I had to be resourceful as it was parents’ hard earned money. Coming from a Indian Middle Class family, Right Investing has taken a pole position now.
The key similarity between the two phases that I noticed –
1. Hunger to Hustle. Period
2. Exploring New Things : As a freshmen, right from college labs to canteen to hostels, everything was just exploration stage. Today, more or less, it remains the same. Just, the parameters of exploring has changed
3. Values & Ethics. Again, period.
I am on a journey to reach the pinnacle and I know gradually I will be there, but what truly remains with you are the blessings and the wishes of your loved ones.
Cheers to one of the best year of my life on the road ahead!
