Aanewala Pal Janewala Hai!

In the past few days, I've been experiencing waves of anxiety and mental turmoil 😔. I've noticed that certain people in my circle, through their actions, have brought instability and pains into our lives.

One major issue arose when, one of our colleagues overpromised to a client on our behalf and the deal ultimately fell through 💔.

This led to a strained relationship, endless sleepless nights filled with fear 😟, threats and uncertainty over handling refunds.

That mistake created a web of misunderstandings, making us fully realize how tough the corporate world can be—where balancing everyone's interests is a constant challenge ⚖️.

When you're busy, in public, or juggling various activities, you feel safe, as it distracts you from the emptiness. But the moment you're alone with nothing to do, that inner emptiness surfaces, and self-worth feels like it hits zero.

It disturbs me to see that while I'm suffering, those responsible seem to be comfortably unaffected. At times, I feel cheated and manipulated 🤬.

Waiting and waiting even more to get one piece of news of advancement 🕰️. It feels like the world is crashing down on me! Yet, what else can I do but wait a little longer? Slowly, I'm learning to observe life by letting go of my self-importance.

When I fail to control my mind, it scatters in a hundred different directions, chasing countless desires 🌪️. In such a state of mental chaos, even writing a single page, let alone running a company, feels impossible.

This has shown me the importance of power, both mental and physical 🧘‍♂️💪, and the alignment needed to achieve anything. Without channeling energy and focus through yoga and meditation to strengthen myself, nothing meaningful can be accomplished.

I prioritize learning new things 📚, but my mind gets so overwhelmed with thoughts that I can hardly focus 😣. This often leads to self-doubt—why am I stuck?

What I lack right now is the inner strength to confront the turmoil life throws my way 🌊. With the business struggling, personal finances strained and my social image affected, my confidence has taken a hit 😞.

Just last week, I was filled with joy as we came so close to closing a deal ✨, only to watch it slip away in an instant. I can’t describe the pain of going through each minute and hour of this setback ⏳.

Despite our best efforts and intentions, it feels like nothing is moving forward. I don’t want to close up the shop, especially when I still have faith in the craft and in the higher power 🙏.

I could see the nature of the human mind in this journey of ambitions 🎢—one day it’s at its majestic peak, the next day it’s at rock bottom.

The ups and downs have turned into a toxic cycle, hitting the head on the wall and wondering for a ray of sunshine ☀️.

In this context, I’d like to mention the year 1979, when three musical maestros—Kishore Kumar (Singer) 🎤, R.D. Burman (Music Director) 🎶and Gulzar (Lyricist) 🖋️—came together to create the timeless song “Aanewala Pal Jaanewala Hai” for the comedy film Gol Maal 🎬.

"A cracked hourglass, with sand spilling out unevenly, showing how time feels unpredictable and out of control during hardships ⏳. (Risograph effect: bold reds and greys with sharp contrasts)"

The lyrics of the song always remind me of the importance of living in the present 🌸, because we never truly know what tomorrow will bring 🌅:

थोडा सा हँसा के, थोडा सा रुला के,

पल येभी जानेवाला है!

आनेवाला पल जानेवाला है!!

हो सके तो इसमें जिंदगी बिता दो,

पल जो ये जानेवाला है!

आनेवाला पल जानेवाला है!!

While Manas shoulders the major pressure from the market with his sales expertise 💼, I've shifted my focus to a new area for me—Business Operations Management 🏗️.

I'm learning what truly drives a business to function smoothly and deliver quality, without being weighed down by the constant flux of human emotions.

This journey has made me truly appreciate the value of family 👨‍👩‍👦. On days when nothing seems to go right and I come home with a heavy heart 💔, it's my family that remains constant, treating me with the same love and support ❤️.

I'm grateful they’ve given me the freedom to pursue my professional ambitions without judgment.

Above all, the world is full of actors 🎭—some good, some bad—but everyone’s playing their part. Be cautious, my friend! 👀
