#8 How to evaluate your year
This is a feeling a lot of people share, where they feel that time just passes them by, and it's not because it's true, it's because they never took the time to reflect on any of it. Did time pass them by? Did they make any mistakes? What went right? What made them happy? Because "Life is lived in the present, but understood in the past."
So at the end of each year, or in my case the middle of January, these are the few questions I look to answer and I hope they help you too

#7 How I stopped doomscrolling
“You Are What You Consume”
This quote is annoyingly true.
It applies to everything, the food we eat, the media we consume, the books we read, the people we spend our time with.

#6 I hate changing routines
"Life is like a TV show, and you're just in season 10." March was a blur of healing & change, but every season tells a story!

#5 Moved by authenticity
March is flying by, but small wins matter. Adulthood feels unstructured, but embracing progress and authenticity makes it all worthwhile.

![I quit my job, and it’s a very bittersweet feeling. I know it’s a privilege, and I am grateful that I feel bittersweet and not bitter 🙂. This place will always hold a special place in my heart, with its pros and cons, ups and downs. I have spent more than half of my last 3 years in this office, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining because I enjoyed the majority of the time I was here. There were so many days where it felt impossible and hectic, but then there were days as shown in the video, just filled with so much laughter that those hectic days felt bearable.
It was like a group project we did in school and college; sometimes we were paired with our friends, sometimes with strangers, but by the end of it, somehow we would all get close and become friends, and corporate was just one large group project.
Social media sometimes can negatively portray the 9-5 hustle, but for me, this was an important part of my life. It embraced my curiosity, gave me opportunities conducive to my growth personally, increased my self-confidence in my capabilities, and last but not least, it provided the independence and freedom using which I travelled to some of my dream destinations and led a lifestyle that I always desired 🧿. I really did enjoy my work, found a purpose, learnt a lot, and did too much masti with the people I met here. Sometimes it’s just about the right fit, and I’m lucky I found it in more ways than one ❤️
I’m moving onto a different phase in my life, something new, something different, more to come 🧿🤞

![Also forgot about the rose tea, which was also incredible, to sum it up following are the dishes I remember liking a lot 1. The dips platter, all of them were incredible but the honey sweet dip and the tzatziki stood out) along with the chicken lahmacun bread.
2. The chicken tandoori I think, the disk you see with the spring roll was also really nice
3. The egg dish, omg I didn’t know eggs could be made that way, so soft, so tangy
4. The baklava was delish as well
