I am going through a few of those days when my energy is extremely down and even if I have tons of things to do from my bucket list, yet I feel like not doing anything. Everything bores me. It’s been months since I haven’t watched anything on Netflix because I was busy with other things. So I thought to try that out today just for a change and I couldn’t even finish a single episode. Usually reading a book has given me instant pleasure, but I am tired of them as well. From outside I am happy and talking, eating and doing all my work, but inside some kind of heavy burden I am feeling. These all things started after I read a book called “The reason is You” by Nikita Singh. The book is based on depression and its effect on the person. It disturbed me to the point that I myself feel depressed without any reason. So I thought about changing my mood and writing everything down so that I can move on and carry on in my day to day life. 

Apart from reading books in my free time, I am a techie who works in IT as a web developer and recently I am blessed with a baby boy. Though recently means a year now. It is fun to watch my son grow and I know after a few years I am going to miss him as a toddler. So I am not leaving any opportunity to capture a cute moment of him on my phone. I have my whole family to support me in this journey of pregnancy and I would say I have had a happy pregnancy thanks to God and everyone. I am very grateful for my entire family and especially my husband who was with me and supported me throughout the journey. Now I am back to my work field and facing a few challenges everyday which are questioning my 10 years of dedication to my work. But I am not giving up. I have accepted the challenge and started working towards the same. 

I started a page on instagram dedicated to books. You can click the link here to check out my reviews and all the books I have read in the last 2-3 years. Another link is here to check out how I started my book reading journey and where I am today. Again I am grateful to my husband who has understood my passion in the reading and writing field and gave me this website as a birthday present last year to post all my works. Before when I felt heavy like today, I used to write in my diary. Now I am out of touch with writing by hand and it is painful if I am writing more. Keyboard and google docs are to the rescue I would say. I am learning new vocabulary words from everywhere and recently I have noticed them being used in books which I used to miss before. So one step at a time towards my end goal. Ofcourse I am not going to discuss that here. As sharing the end result increases dopamine level in the brain which makes you think like you have already accomplished it and you would stop working on it. I don’t want that. If anybody can guess or find out from other articles, that would be a slip of my tongue. WINK !

Sometimes things which are not in my hand worry me a lot. Things like global warming and increasing temperature each year. Things like deforestation and extinction of animals. Things like war and killing of innocent people. I feel happy when I read about social heroes who restore forests and rivers. I know I should have done something towards this cause, but I lack resources. I know it sounds like an excuse. Anyway when I will get the opportunity to work towards society I would definitely be part of it. 

After writing I am finally at my ease. Writing is really the best therapy to resolve any kind of conflict and storm that is going on inside our brain. During my college days I would never ever imagine in my weirdest dream that I would be capable of writing that in english, I was very poor in english. That is another story for another time. Thank you for all your patience if you have read till the end.
