Enjoy what you work or not?

Sometimes it gets really hard to smile and sail through a job that we do not enjoy. Isn't it?

But yet we do it because it pays our bills and put our meals on the table. And we go about it. 

Just imagine if we all had jobs that we enjoyed and truly loved to go wake up each morning to goto. But not all of us get lucky at all times. But if the dissatisfaction creeps in and remains constant, then it is time to wake up and think right. 

Think about it people!

Accountability Buddy

A few days ago I was watching a video and someone mentioned Accountability Buddy. This kind of tickled my brain and I pondered over it. 

Isn't it a good idea to have an accountability buddy and be accountable foe things we plan? This idea has kept me tickled. 

So I decided I am going to try an Accountability Buddy in 2020 and let's see how this idea works for me. 

Do try it out people!!!

Right Make Up

Go GOA

December beginning has us planned to goto Goa. It had been a few years since I last went to Goa, and when I got a chance to go again this year, I grabbed this opportunity. 

We stayed at Calangute and went places from there. 

We walked the beach at night and went to Tito's and danced the night away. 

There is always something so magically calm and soothing about this place. I guess no one can get bored of GOA. Like always, I picked up a few trinkets in the form of Jewelry and a few other things. 

Goa - I love You and look forward to seeing you soon again in 2020!

8. Exercise


If there are more focus areas, it can be added and tracked. Get ready to step into 2020!

A New Course

Half way through the year, I decided to enroll myself to a new course. My first choice was MAPC. I have been wanting to do this course for a few years now, but since it is a two years course, I was a little skeptical. But June 2019 got me the courage to enroll into this course. 

Now that I opted for this course, I was thrilled. A few days ago, I wrapped up my record writing and submitted the same. So record submission - Check.

Now, I had finished writing 2 out of 6 assignments and will be submitting the same by a fortnight. 
After that it will be 4 more to submit and I will be done. 

I have liked this journey so far and I look forward to it for the next two years. Cheers!

Blue Denim Jacket

I have been wanting to buy a crop denim jacket for a while. So two weeks ago, I went online and found a really cute crop denim jacket. I never usually order attires online, but this time I did. And, I must say I am impressed. 

This jacket turned out to be really cute. And, I have been enjoying it for the last few days. It's a good buy and my first online attire turned out good.

So my new crop denim jacket is my new companion for a while now!

My New Gadgets

I got a few new Gadgets and here is that list,

1. A New Fitness Tracker - Mi Band 4
2. JBL Portable Speaker
3. Mi Powerbank with a case

Absolutely enjoying it all!

Just Write

How many of us kept a diary growing up? How many of us gave those diaries a name? I'm sure a lot of us maintained it. But little did we realize what that actually did to us.

My two cents on it,

1. It helped me channelize my thoughts.
2. It helped me better my thoughts.
3. Could articulate my feelings.
4. Flow of thoughts get clear.
5. The clogs of creativity opens up.


Just write!

It's Been A while

I haven't posted in a while. I just realized that the year is coming to an end and If I didn't finish my 365 posts, I will lose my own challenge. Hence, here I am wanting to make up for the lost days.

I have posted 322 till date and as per my math, I have 43 more posts to finish my 2019 Blogathon Challenge that I thought I will do at the beginning of this year.

Let the race begin as I wrap up my challenge!
