Done is better than perfect

 Baat koi 22 saal purani hai .....When i newly  learnt to drive a car , i could not well manage the constant juggle among clutch , brake and accelerator . Sometimes the car would give sudden  jerk and stop because of wrong clutch timings and sometimes it would give shhhhhhhuuuuuu sounds on putting wrong gear . I used to be reluctant to park in crowded places or drive on narrow roads  . Toughest was the use of reverse gear . Point is that i was not perfect in driving .

 Baat koi 10 saal purani hai .....i wanted to learn swimming but i was afraid of water . When i decided to send my daughter for swimming classes , i also took the plunge to learn along with her . It took me 10 days to leave the corner of the pool and gather that courage to float . It was hell lot of a job to sync the movement of hands and legs . I am still not perfect at it 😊😊. 

Baat sirf 2 saal purani hai ......i started learning calligraphy on my own . I never had an idea that it was such a vast subject . Knowing about the strokes , the x heights , the various scripts and the different tools - it's an endless journey . When i watch others' calligraphy works on instagram i sonetimes get disheartened feeling  i am a dumbo . I am not at all perfect , rather an amateur artist . But i had read somewhere ' A great artist is the amateur artist who didn't quit'

To baat ye hai ......i might not be perfect at driving but i could manage to drive  to my workplace , go for grocery shopping or take my mom to her kitty . And i enjoyed that humpty dumpty driving . 

Though i couldn't learn the perfect swimming but i achieved a tiny level of enjoying being in a pool unlike the  earlier fear of water . 

I may never call myself a great calligrapher even in future but i see a  far improved version of myself when i see my old works. I love when i get likes on my calligraphy posts. I am no doubt progressing in the  competition  with myself . 

The phrase 'Done is better than perfect '-  suits me . Shouldn't it  be your motto too ? In all the  spheres of life ?

Don't stress yourself  too much or push yourself beyond limits seeking perfectionism . If it's  just done , that's great ! U made an accomplishment ! Celebrate it ! 

Nobody is living a perfect life. Sab kaam hi chala rahe hain . So just chill and be happy ! Learn new things , explore new things , but don't wait to enjoy until u reach perfectionism. Cherish the journeys.

Bcoz PERFECT may not be done

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy' 

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember how i  had to bear my daughter

Keep Yourself Alive

 Are you alive ? Are you thankful that you are alive ? I am writing this in some spare  time at my workplace and a few minutes ago I got to know about the sudden death of one of our collleagues  . Always smiling and helpful to all , he was in his early forties . Leaving his family and kids crying  , he just decided to fly away , may be to a happier world ( atleast that's what i wish )  Well ! I never intended to begin with  anything of this sort but today's news has left me disturbed you know .  All i can do is to be thankful that I am alive , hale n hearty . Life is so unpredictable you see but still we all have filled our life with hatred , jealousy , competition, ego , leg-pulling , stress, frustration and what not . You or Me can just disappear in a moment and then ?  Let's simplify our life ....a life which is easy going , happy and filled with love for all . Let's stop rushing ! Let's stop judging others ! Let our ego go off with smiles , hugs and gratitude fo
