As children, we were so wide eyed and impressed with every little thing around us. Everything seemed like magic! What happened? Why did we get so boring in the process of growing up? What made us so dull? I'm holding and using one of the best phones available to type this post but it's not impressing me. I'm beginning to take this phone for granted! Yes, that could be a reason....we have started taking things for granted. As if it's our birthright to get things we have got. May be it is or may be not. But why can't we say thank you aloud for everything we receive for free? The air we breathe or the food we eat or the families we so cherish, are all a gift from a force beyond our comprehension.

Somewhere I read that we are born everyday and that everyday is an opportunity to be amazing. I feel in a way it's true. As the year 2022 comes, let us drop the ills of the year 2021 and emerge in our pure, cleansed form in the new year. Like entering a holy shrine, leaving behind the contamination around us. There are so many things that we can do to find our Ikigai.  I have a few that I want to follow this year: Promote reading: I want to, in my own humble way, want to promote reading. Try and gift books so that people start reading again. Nothing can replace a good book. The invisible world that becomes visible through words, it's like magic. Travel more to quiet places: hoping that this would help me find peace. Help me travel within. Find ways to reach the equilibrium and the centre of my life.
