Seasonal

It’s that time of year again — when we learn to forgive ourselves and each other for all the negativity we’ve inflicted on our world. Battles go on at our borders, fires rage on in our forests, and famine sweeps off our country folk. Tomorrow would be the same—our environment, our reality, and our lives will all remain the same—but now’s not the time to worry. Now’s the time to wish all joy to the world.

Today we celebrate our love for humankind, forgetting the hatred and the jealousy that shroud us during the rest of the year. Today, we wish each other—today I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Tomorrow would bring normality back into our lives, but until then, I raise my glass to you.

The best of all

The best thing about 2017 is that I had a lot of new experiences. I had the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and find new zones I’m comfortable with. Thanks to an official trip, I managed a week of personal travel. It was the best of all that happened to me this year. It taught me a side of myself I didn’t know I had. It taught me to plan, to organise, and to communicate with other people. It gave me survival skills, nurtured my negotiating skills, and taught me the true value of good companionship. Travelling solo left me craving more.

Swallowing the last of his pizza, Nikhil shared the article on LinkedIn—another attempt to boost his credibility. Sighing, he then returned to finish the rest of the reports. He had to submit them by the end of day. He hadn’t intended his mid-morning break to turn into a lunch break as well.

As he tried to concentrate on the numbers, up popped a notification. A manager from a rival company had responded to his post. Within minutes, Nikhil was searching for Italian restaurants. She liked pasta.
