It is crucial to understand, in order to be happy, that being content with small things in life is much more important than dreaming of being content with dreams we want to achieve in future.

(One friend and a cup of tea.) Dear Readers, What a weekend!!!. The January winter is my favorite time of the year and I believe there is nothing better than enjoying it with hot tea, family and friends. Since, we will be saying our goodbyes to the season soon, I thought I will push my comfort zone and explore evening chill of Jaipur's busiest streets in Rajapark. My search , along with some friends, led us to a cozy tea corner which was filled with people like us who wanted to feel the tingling of cold hands and red noses that the winter brings with it.

One of the excerpts from a story actually made me think deeper. It goes like this. A waiter asks a man, "what else will you have with your tea?"

It's been a while. I have not shared much over the last year and I thought my blogging time was over. But, I find myself writing and reflecting over the amazing year that has gone by. I used to think I know life. I always believed that if you plan things and follow, you will achieve your goals and it is true to an extent.  However, to my utmost disbelief, everything I planned turned out to be completely different. Some of the things I had planned were friendships, career, relationships and even hobbies. Thankfully I have my family and a few close friends who had time again picked up my pieces when I broke myself trying to do things which were entirely opposite to my nature. I am grateful. Last year was all about revelations. I got to know that polo was a tough game, covid was still wrecking havoc, it's never too late to change your life, your family is your truest friend, that best friend you have is a gem and last but not the least you are the only one who can truly impact you...
