Time has really flown by and we are all set to see a new year and a new calendar again in few weeks. When we look back at 2025 today, it feels like it just yesterday that we welcomed it. But still we have seen close to 365 days. Every day begins with new challenges, new promises and new opportunity. 2025 has been a self discovery for me. An year where I took up some personal challenges and tried to succeed as per my caliber.

I remember year 20025 began with a little promises of avoiding tea. I wanted to cut on my tea intake and today I am happy to stick to the promise so far. I nearly avoided it for many months but certain situation with friends or families made me to have it occasionally. The year has been a turnaround for me on personal front. I began to self discover myself in various sphere. I began with cooking front and ended up understanding the people mindset about relationship. Human being are getting more selfish and mean, and they always consider their priorities leaving behind the others. I am bit late in understanding, but still happy to learn it. I personally need to change my attitude/ perspective towards people. May be the coming year will see more of my changed outlook. I am slowly adapting integrating myself.
phase of self discovery
Cooking has been a biggest hurdle for many. But I took up the challenge to prepare my own food. The onus of living in rented apartment allow me learn the cooking and today I am feeling g proud to be different from other. While people find me cooking they see me differently. In the Men oriented society nobody assumed me to be cook for no reason. But I learned it by my own. From chapati to rice to bowl of soup or curry, mastered it all in 2025.
In a broader level, 2025 has been year of navigating various uncertainty. Be it at personal life or global arena or at the technological front or even the geographical factors. The excessive rainfall this year has caused mayhem. It has spoiled most of my farming crops as well as my home. The rainwater has caused havoc in various way. A serious concern that a human being need to look after. The indecent rain was the result of geographical changes. The conflicts like the wars in Gaza, and Ukraine continued to dominate headlines, contributing to a sense of global instability. We have felt the pinch of persistent inflation and fluctuating prices due to global trade disruptions and new tariffs because of various global affairs. 2025 has also been good year in technological front. Artificial intelligence moved from a futuristic concept to an everyday reality for many. It has been put into use by many. This rapid integration sparked conversations about the future of work and human interaction.
Overall, 2025 was a year of profound change and a feeling that "the unprecedented is now precedented". It is now a time to adapt to the new technologies, prepare ourself for ongoing global instability, and find moments of connection in an increasingly individualistic, yet digitally hyper connected, world. In coming days, I am hoping to get good on my investment part and see myself growing to meet the changing world / life dynamics.
In good faith - Peace!!
