A minute with myself

So, in the modern world with increasing urbanization and westernization, we can tend to be over-ambitious and at times, neglect some things which might be as important as our career and goals. So, in a similar urban setup, one husband failed to tell his wife about her workaholic attitude that was causing him problems. He, to an extent, even thought of separating from his wife in his mind. He realized that the damage was irreparable and hence, went down a deep swirling spiral where he was confused, anxious and worried about his marriage.

But guess what? She is in no mood to listen to any of that as she herself has had a terrible day at her workplace.

So, you planned at 16 that when you get out of school at the age of 18, you will pursue engineering from an NIT, India and then at the age of 22, after graduation you will pursue masters from UK and then get a good job and apply for permanent residency. But guess what? Part or whole of it didn’t work out.

So, according to the textbook, End Goal means discovering where you really want to go or whom do you really want to end up with. It means the single most goal that you want to achieve in life and the path you are willing to take to achieve that. For instance, someone’s life goal can be as basic as getting a home or earning a six-figure amount by the time they are 30 or simply getting a dream job at Google or Facebook. The catch here is to explore new avenues and, in the process, discover your End Goal of Life. After discovering your End Goal or your destination, you need to figure out the journey or how you are going to reach there because the journey is the most important of your goal. It is going to take you to the destination or the fruit that you have longed for so long. For Instance, if you talk about me my life goal is to travel the world and roam around the most beautiful cities and have new experiences with new people and make lasting memories for life. In order ...

The COVID-19 Pandemic, I must say, has disrupted daily lives and already claimed the deaths of 60,000 people worldwide. As a result, scientists and doctors have identified Social Distancing as the main precautionary measure and because of that national governments have strategically implemented lockdowns in respective countries. The situation risen from lockdowns has resulted in a global economic crisis and daily wage workers are starving. People are struggling from financial issues and old people are dying. The situation seems grave; however, I am hopeful that normalcy will be restored soon. Life seems strange right now. We all were busy in earning money for our comfort and in providing food and shelter to our family.

It seems that everything has come to a halt and ...
