The Annual Reset
And secondly, I observed people working nonstop because there were like six or eight weddings planned in those five days. And I saw people working day and day and night out. I remember we were sitting in Brio Art Cafe for our breakfast. It was around 730 in the morning. And I overheard this conversation. By the way, I have a bad habit of overhearing other people's conversations. Something that I picked up out of boredom because I've traveled quite a bit by myself

Necessity is not dominant at the moment in my life and I'm extremely grateful for that. So this is the third thing that I realized that I am privileged and I need to be utterly grateful because not everybody gets to go home on time or not everybody gets to relax on their own terms. So yeah, this was about my epiphanies that I had during these five days. So of course we went to the city, explored, since I'm a non vegetarian, explored a lot of good food
So I think, overall, thanks for putting up this well, because it was really interesting seeing you experience what experiences that you had while you were attending this wedding. So thanks for putting out this Swell, and I will, of course, catch you in another Swell or whichever other response we meet next. But thanks for posting and once again, welcome back. Bye

Hey, Candy. Hi. Good evening and thank you so much for your warm welcome and all these wonderful words regarding the spy thing. I think that I could be a good spy, actually. Honestly, it is one of my dream jobs. I am a sucker for spy movies, irrespective of their ratings and the plot line. I have watched almost all spy movies and I just love this entire concept of this espionage

Welcome back himanshi. We were missing you here. Thank God you're back. So now I can hope to hear some good things from you and maybe get your feedback on my podcast as well. So this annual reset that you spoke about is definitely something we all need. And we should be doing this annually or probably biannually. And good to know about all that you did. And welcome back once again. Happy to have you here. Bye

It's been a while that I've been to marriages. Marriages in Delhi and Sierra are pretty different. I've never been to a wedding in Lucknow, though I have known people there. But yes, never been to the wedding in Lucknow though. I've been in a wedding, I think in Banaras and in Bihar as well, in Bhagalpur and a few other places in the country, but certainly not in Lucknow. And that's surprising
Himanshi. I really loved this experience in the title Daniel Gazette I do agree it is very important that you take certain breaks in between, especially some kind of refreshment you need because the more and more you are involved in the work, your mind is completely filled with its own task and it doesn't get any kind of break. Just imagine yourself working continuously without any rest. We feel as if we are tired and we are no more active in the same manner. It happens with our brain too

Hello. Himanshi thank you for an invitation on this wonderful swell and I'm glad that you're back again. You know, I love the way you introspect on each experience of life and synthesize that experience into simpler points or simpler learning, to be precise. And with this, well, you have emphasized the significance of rest and taking a break in between which is so true. Himanshi till my journey till now I have realized that I do not like pacey or cutthroat things

Everybody knows what they need to everybody realizes that about themselves. That what they need to do and achieve. And everybody has a speed. Candy. Not everybody is going to collide their head against the wall to get it moving like I do. And I did pay my price also because I was not prioritizing my rest, my sleep, I started facing health issues. It truly depleted my soul, as you said. I think it could not be put more aptly than how you did

Hi, Gauri. Thank you for replying and thank you for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me. And interestingly, we get mired in our routines and we don't even realize that we need a break. That's the worst part of it. Especially it happens with me. At least this is how I feel. I get so much involved and engrossed in my routine stuff that I don't realize that I need to step out of this for a while

All the wedding planners, the caterers, the servers, the managers, always on the go, always managing. Or uswajasunka, internal coordination, we mismatch with them five to six shadi, EXAD manage, karna. It's a huge deal. And despite all the chaos, they delivered everything really nicely. I mean, unkethar of Sikhabilitiniwa. And they were always on point. So that was truly, truly impressive. The food, the arrangements, the staff behavior and everything. Everything was on point
But I have never heard of something called marriage hopping. So good that you came up with a new concept altogether. Seven marriages. Seven marriages are too much to attend on one single holiday. Don't you think it's too much of a pressure on one single holiday? But I am sure the kind of person you are, you must have been able to cope up with it

So I remember when I was going back to my room and in one evening, and there was this bride there was another bride whose Sangeeth was about to begin, and she was beautifully dressed in this white sequined langa. And she was looking absolutely mesmerizing, but I could see the stress on her face, and she was clearly exhausted despite all the makeup. I could sense that it is overwhelming and overbearing for her. And I don't know how it happened, but it just came in the moment
