My Personal Bucket List


That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet
- Emily Dickinson

Death is inevitable but so is life, unless of course your parents choose not to bring you to earth, (in which case you wouldn't be reading this either). However, what is not inevitable, is our choice of how we choose to live. There are happy days and sad days, inspiring days and gloomy day, all-is-so-right days and everything-is-so-messed-up days - but regardless of what kind of day you have a chance to live, you are living and that is what counts in the end.

So, if we have the chance to live, why not make it huge? Or at least hope to make it huge. So, as ong as you and I have not kicked the bucket, lets imagine the things we have always wanted and dream the ideas we have always cherished, because whether cliche or creative, they will always find their way into our very own bucket lists.

Book Review - Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Image
 So I have been wanting to read this book for a loooooooooooong time! Finally got my hands on it a couple days ago and it has definitely stood up to all the expectations. It's a lovely, inspiring read and definitely recommended to anyone looking for some motivation to tone up their lives.  Keep reading for the full review! ↓↓↓ What is Ikigai? Ikigai is the Japanese word meaning a reason to live and this is the central theme of the book - finding your special individualised purpose and meaning in life; a reason that makes you want to get out of bed everyday and brings you to a state of happiness and contentment.  Finding your ikigai is important and has been emphasized in a number of places including logotherapy. and morita therapy. Not having a purpose can result in a phenomenon called Sunday neurosis - or the empty feeling on weekends when you have no job to run to or school to attend.  How to Live a Long, Happy Life 1.

Identity and Social Change

I come from an Indian background, specifically from a Gujarati family. There is a great emphasis on business and education in a typical Gujarati household. The importance of career, academics and professional pursuits has always been a very important part of my personal identity and one of my foremost priorities in my own life. That is also why I strongly believe in the power invested in education to change the lives of millions of people. Having struggled for education myself, I firmly consider illiteracy as a very important social justice issue in the world. Sadly, this concern is not very apparent in the United States, despite the fact that 32 million adults (Washington Post, 2016) in the US can’t read. Furthermore, illiteracy is a very big concern back home in India. The average literacy rate is just 64% and for females it is even lower than the average (Census of India, 2001). Education has the power to change the course of a human’s life. It is a tool that can make an individual ...

Words that Inspire Me

Image
" मेहनत इतनी खामोशी से करो की कामयाबी शोर मचा दे " This is a Hindi quote that translates to: "Work hard in silence, let your success make the noise" This is one of my favorite quotes primarily because it makes me feel so powerful. The vibe it carries is very motivating. It encourages me when I fall weak and I want to cry out to the world that I am tired of constantly putting in some kind of effort. It inspires me when some of my friends are having a jolly good time while I am stuck studying or working hard. The quote holds a deep meaning and I basically feel invigorated every time I read it. "It's not your salary that makes you rich, it's your spending habits." I think this quote carries so much weight to its words. Just read it one more time. It feels like its yelling out to me that buddy, if you want to be rich, you don't need to buy that expensive dress that you won't even wear as many times as many bucks ...
