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

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 ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
