I used to be in a fiendish hurry from the moment I woke up till I flopped into the bed at night. My waking hours were consumed by a circle of tasks, worries, distractions, and exhaustion to say the very least. Not all the tasks I performed every day were of utmost importance. There were things that needed my attention badly but somehow I was “too busy”. Racing to somehow fill up the pages of my life did not make sense. I wanted to lead a life where I did not get drowned in the noise. Time is precious, we ought to spend it wisely. Basically, at heart, we’re all simple human beings. We get caught up in a web and we lose control of who we are. I needed to regain this control and switch to my simple self. It’s a work in progress. I can walk you through a few of my picks for a simpler and more fulfilling life. Heal

                                                        Photo by Tobias Rodemacher on Unsplash Climate change is ending us Why can't we see what is so obvious In your home, in your place do something to sort out this mess Don't be selfish, leave some for the generation next Breathe new life into all the things you possess Repair and recycle are the mantras for less A train journey will be better than the airbus Ditch your wheels for the good old bus Travel only if you must Work from home is a huge plus Grow some plants, trees, and shrubs Find amusement at your nearest address Take these little steps and practice minimalism in the true sense Mother Earth will thank you and will surely bless
