Well, the year 2021, when it started after a long
lockdown and stagnancy because of Covid 19, everyone was so hopeful,
beginning of the year, so positive that after a long dark night,
finally, we see a new positive stable morning....jaise sooraj ki pehli
kiran itne waqt ke andhere ke baad chehre pe padi ho...and that feeling
was awesome!! Things were looking better and settling, when in April,
again a minor lockdown, schools, colleges, institutes were still not
getting normalized. Soon we realised, may be another year of uncertainty
and unstability and it will take, dont know how much time....we started
getting used to work from home culture and some other things. But may
be, to think of it, life was still telling us something, kya kehna chah
rahi thi humse zindgi. 2020 ne hamein zindgi mein bewajah bhaagte hue,
zara thamke, ruk ke, sochna sikhaya, jo hamaare paas hai uski kadar
karna sikhaaya.....
Aur ab 2021 mein kya sikhaana
chahti thi hamein zindgi? Shayad yeh ki....change is the only thing
which is constant!! Life is uncertain and will always be!! It's good to
plan your life , keep going but still dont forget to value what you
have....dont repeat earlier mistakes.....
Sometimes going with the flow is the best thing you can do and then see some miracles happening around you!!
Toh
ab mere kuch experiences and maine kya seekha, is uncertain 2021
mein......Well, Well, Welll......shayad list thodi lambi hai....but
still would love to share with you in brief......

So, actually, you wont believe, I actually just didnt like cooking and
found it so boring but had to cook regularly first out of compulsion
like lot of us must be in a similar situation like me....kya karein,
paapi pet ka sawaal hai na, kitne din yuhi egg bhurji, eggs and cheela- 5
mins cooking pe survive kar sakte hain...right??. And you will be
surprised to know that I know how to cook almost everything but since
childhood, I used to find it so boring and tedious, time consuming job .
I learnt all the cooking on my own, experimenting since my childhood
days....And now, this year, what started as a compulsion, has become
quite an interest now...I just switch on my favourite music, ..so with
music on, gas on , little dancing, cooking us done not boring
anymore....Well, when you club your passion with anything you find
boring, it just works wonders and things change....I check out new
recipes on you tube and try them sometimes. Even I am surprised to see
this change in me......OMG.....which one is this Shalini?difficult to
recognize.
I have been
a person who usually plans things in advance, my day in advance, but
this year has taught me to be more spontaneous, go with the flow, accept
the day as it comes , the change as it comes with a whole heart and a
deep breath......may be some more deep breaths, as also everyone around
was also struggling like you....sabko aur sabki mushkiloen ko samajhne
hue aagey bhadhna.....

As a person, I have been so uncomfortable with technology, quite a
traditional person in this regard, believe in staying more on real world
than the virtual world, but thanks to covid, when technology and
virtual world was the only solution and support system, everyone had to
adapt and I am no different. The whole school, education system shifted
online, so, I also learnt it hard way, starting with my online sessions
and selling technology solutions also. And really, thanks to some
people in my life here, who have helped and made it a bit easier to
learn and go on.
* kitne
rishtoen ko mushkil waqt mein kamzor hone ki wajah se bikharte hue
dekha, bigadte hue dekha, badalte hue dekha, kitnoen ko Counselling aur
heal karte hue raasta dikhaate hue fir aagey badhte hue dekha.....
About relationships, I would share all my life experiences, my thoughts from my diary with you in my next article
