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...

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...
