Finding Unexpected Motivation: Lessons from a Morning Commute

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

I'm back with some interesting thoughts that I'd love to share here.

I hope reading this blog brings you some peace of mind and a bit of hope to keep going toward your destiny.

I started my journey as a junior developer at an IT company about two months ago, and I must say, I’m enjoying the work. I'm gaining a lot of knowledge and learning new things. However, the one thing that holds me back is finding the motivation to go to work every day and put in those straight 8 to 9 hours. Maybe it's because I haven't done this before or because I’m not used to it yet.

Anyway, let me share an experience I had one morning while heading to the office. As I was thinking about how the day would go and how I would get through it, these thoughts were racing through my mind like a bullet train speeding past a station.

On my way, I stopped at a traffic signal and noticed an old man, probably over 75, walking around barefoot near the signal. He didn’t have any slippers and was holding an instrument in his hands, playing devotional songs dedicated to Lord Ram. Just look at the contrast—I have almost everything and just need to go to work, yet I find excuses. That old man had nothing, but he had so much motivation to do what he was doing.

That moment gave me enough motivation, not just for that day but for the days that followed.

Day_ 49

Hello everyone, and welcome to my 49th blog post! I wish all of you a healthy and happy life. Let's kick off today's blog by talking about my day. I started my morning with some prayers, visited the temple, and offered milk to Lord Shiva. After completing my daily routine, I hit the gym. I spent around 2.3 hours working on my back and biceps. Once done, I headed home and had my post-workout meal. In the afternoon, I went out for some work with a friend. It took quite a while, and we'll continue with it tomorrow and the day after. I won't disclose the nature of the work, but I'm hopeful it will come to fruition soon. Later in the evening, I accompanied my mom to the vegetable market to help carry the bags. That's enough for today; let's wrap up this blog here. If you've read my blog, don't forget to share it with your friends ❤️

Journey to Mahakali's Grace: A Spiritual Expedition to Pavagadh

Hello everyone, and welcome to my Journey to Pavagadh. Today's blog is going to be about my travel experience. This Sunday, I visited Pavagadh, which is near my city. Despite living in Vadodara, this was my first time visiting Pavagadh. I went with my Massi, and in the early morning, we set out for the journey. We caught the bus from the station directly to Pavagadh. The bus first went to Halol and then to Pavagadh. From Pavagadh, we had to go up to Manchi, and another bus took us there. Manchi is the starting point where all the devotees begin their journey to meet Mahakali. The journey to the top is not as easy as it seems; it's quite challenging. We sat at various places, took small breaks, had energy drinks, engaged in discussions, and then resumed our journey to the top. I am not sure about the total number of stairs in the climb. During my ascent, I saw many devotees heading to meet Mahakali with their own trust and belief—some to ask for something, some to thank Mahakali...
