It’s been exactly a year since I unofficially graduated from college and lost myself in the insanity of adulthood. I have loved the freedom since, the rush of responsibility, the financial independence, the stamp of a degree, the corporate chaos. And also hated it.
Life has changed in many ways, and yet, in some fundamental sense, I am still the restless, fickle mind of a young student exploring the ways of the world, looking for adventure in the least likely of places, and forever moving by elimination. I have however, in this year, found a master key to survival – living a day at a time. Of all things that work, this one works wonders. It’s amazing what a day can be, with no future to look into and no past to brood over.
I am not aspiring to be a life coach just yet, so I’ll leave you with these lines from Porcupine Tree,
But after a while, You realize time flies, And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you, ‘Cause time flies…
Welcome to my blog, The Shooting Star. I’ve been called a storyteller, writer, photographer, digital nomad, “sustainability influencer,” social entrepreneur, solo traveller, vegan, sustainable tourism consultant and environmentalist. But in my heart, I’m just a girl who believes that travel – if done right – has the power to change us and the world we live in.
We sit on its back and hope that we have a safe and nice ride 🙂
Haha, absolutely 😀
Don’t think you’ll be all that bad as a life coach 😛
You don’t want to try me! Btw, your blog is really in exile, no?
Zindagi kaisi hai paheli …. 😛 …

your blog kind of makes me realize why anyone gets into blogging in the first place. Its spontaneous…and nice to read.
Thanks donraja 🙂 Hope I’ll be seeing you around here more often!
Interesting thoughts Shivya…
Even I get similar feelings after coming to corporate world. College days were really golden. 🙂
i’m always trying to do that, but forgetting all the time too! its such a key. thanks for the reminder! 🙂
Hey Shivya,
Nice blog !!! I liked it “Life has changed in many ways, and yet, in some fundamental sense, I am still the restless,….”
It is this restlessness which shall help you make a difference. Understand that you are restless and route it to something productive and you shall work wonders.
I have sent you a mail on the id mentioned on your blog to share a new initiative of mine. Hope you shall relpy.
Happy writing.
