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.

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...

Reflecting on Change as the Year Ends

Writing something new has always been an exciting task for me, but doing it on the last night of the year makes it even more special. Another year has passed—survived bravely, and many more lie ahead. It’s amazing to realize that those born in 2000 and 2001 are now adults, some even getting married! Wow, we’ve grown up, haven’t we? Since 2019, it feels like time has been speeding up, with one year blending into the next before we can fully process it. What’s even more surprising is how the next generation, younger than the 2000s, seems to be moving even faster. These rascals are tying the knot before some of us! But when we compare ourselves to older generations, it’s clear they’ve witnessed far more changes than we ever have. Let me explain. Back in their time, there wasn’t widespread access to proper TVs, mobile phones, or computers. They had more time but fewer resources, so they had to utilize their time and strength wisely to save money. Today, we live in an entirely different era...
