Day 5: Lessons

As we mentally prepare for the lull of the days to extend, it is well to say that we have all had our fair share of learnings, and I'd like to share some of mine. I think the greatest takeaway would be that as a race, we adapt well. We have travelled from our collective complains to greater understanding, from panic attacks to wise living, and from delayed days to productive ones. My most favorite takeaway -- cost of living is not as expensive as cost of lifestyle.

Having said that, I will endorse certain time-tested beliefs:

1. Any addiction is really based upon accessibility: my last drink was on the 10th of March, Holi.
2. Nyakras (torn pieces of never to be used clothes) are essential: used extensively for cleaning, they are companions for life.
3. Hygiene is a habit we must internalize: even for post-corona era.
4. It is okay to dilly-dally to your career call, but be determined to find your passion and meditation: you have to understand this without any explanation. 
5. God is within us and our innate goodness: and propels us to be kind.
6. Life is uncertain, style is eternal: hope you are wearing your favourite watch and dabbing your signature perfume.

For what is life if you can't turn your lemons into lemonade? The gin and tonic will wait. Cheers!
