A Cross Road in Life

Have you ever wondered what your doing with your life,?
Like really stopped for a moment and 
reflected about where you’re heading;
If all the efforts that your putting in,
Running from pillar to post; 
meeting this deadline and the next one
Is taking you anywhere?
I’m sure we all have held a similar feeling
 at some point of time in our lives.
Is this life that we are living truly making us happy, 
or are we just too busy chasing countless dreams 
to even reflect back on our own wellbeing, 
our own happiness?
Common questions that seem to float around these days are
 ‘So what are you doing with your life’ and ‘Have you been promoted’
But,
 what we fail to pay attention to is how happy we are with ourselves.
It all boils down to the job that we have and how much money we make,
Because that's just the way it is, we are living in a rats race where the only thing that takes us forward is money!
And we will go to any extent to find that job which provides that to us.
However, we need balance in our lives. 
No matter how small our job may be, or how different it may seem from another person’s job we just have to do what’s right for ourselves!!

We have to fit our bill according to what we are CAPABLE of doing and not what another person is capable of.
Too often we compare ourselves with others and feel that we are not good enough,
When the reality is that, we all are unique and different
 playing a part in this journey of life what we are capable of!
So the next time you ever think back and ask yourself if you are good enough or doing enough
Don't compare yourself with another person, 
because that's futile and pointless. We aren’t the same
The only person who you should consider comparing yourself with is the person you were YESTERDAY.

Keep challenging yourself every day and your life will be far happier than a one where you’re constantly comparing yourself with others.

Karina Pandya in Conversation with Co-Founder of the Banyan, Dr. Vandana Gopikumar

An incident of coming across a homeless and mentally ill woman in distress on the road in front of her college in Chennai paved the route for Vandana Gopikumar to establish one of the leading NGOs in the field of mental health – The Banyan. While she was yet a Master’s student of Social Work, Vandana along with a close friend Vaishnavi Jayakumar encountered several other incidents of not being able to find the right shelter and mental institution for a woman in need of medical and psychiatric attention.     The Banyan, which was established in 1993 has been a one-stop destination to not only rescue, and rehabilitate but also treat mentally ill women from low-income groups. Vandana Gopikumar has pioneered a movement, helping thousands of individuals not only reintegrate into society but also secure long-term medical treatment.    Not only is she the co-founder of the NGO – The Banyan, but is also the co-founder of The Banyan Academy of Leadership (BALM).

4 Mindfully Spent Days At Woods At Sasan for a Writing Retreat with Bhavna Kher

Writing has been my passion for over 18 years so when I heard about the Writing Retreat that screenwriter, brand consultant and former creative director of Ogilvy - Bhavna Kher was going to conduct I was immediately interested in attending the same.     Not only this but I also wanted to connect with other writers and also sharpen my writing skills as well. It was a perfect opportunity to find inspiration within a focused environment.  Moreover, the 4-day writing retreat, (September 14- September 18th) which was conducted at a luxury boutique resort provided the perfect break from city life, and mindfully focused on sharpening one’s writing skills.  Having our independent quarters, we were surrounded by thickets of trees, within a lush mango orchard on the fringes of the Sasan Gir forest. It was the perfect place to calmly create a story without any disturbances. Moreover, in between the writing exercises, we went for a safari, and eco-trail, and were given besp...
