It's been really long since I posted something, I know. Part of the time is not being able to make the time and pushing it to an extent that I don't feel like writing anymore. I am not lazy. Maybe I am. A lot has happened since the past few weeks and I haven't really written about them all. Maybe I don't need to but sometimes, I have to because every time you push something hoping to do it some other time, there won't.

This line seems cheesy or you have heard it many times over and over but I tell you. Do things as it is your last time. Participate in events when you get the opportunity and not wait for the next time because what if there is no next time? You have a tendency to skip things hoping to do it next time but what if you aren't there to do it, or the chance isn't there for you? It is not only about life goals but even the little things. There are certain things I regret still and there are certain things I am glad I took the chance. 

While residing in Kochi, during the last few days, I went out for an errand and I could sense my neighbour on the balcony but I didn't look up and say hi. And when it was time for me to vacate, he wasn't at the house and I said goodbye to his other family members. I should have looked up that day at the balcony. That was a long-time thing. 

Another recent event was my graduation (which I will write about in the next blog post) where I had a chance to see my Programme Director during the ceremony, I missed making eye contact and I did when she was at a distance but not when we were passing by. I missed it again when they were leaving the auditorium. Is it because I assumed that I would see them later after the ceremony, but I didn't? I stayed for an hour almost hoping to see and thank them but no. Probably they have left by then. I did see my Programme Director before the ceremony and we did talk for some time but it bothered me for not making eye contact during the ceremony. 

There was an event which was a good opportunity for my career and I was working on it for weeks by getting up early and giving it my all but because I wasn't nearly done, I took a step back at the last moment thinking that I could participate in the next one. But it seems like there won't be another event for two years. If I had pushed myself hard enough, I could have submitted my entry and it is not about getting selected or not but worth a try, right?

The more you push it away, the less you end up doing it. For example, there are lots of stuff I wanted to do the past week and so far, I have not done half of it thinking I could do it later but then when later comes, you are caught up with something else and you would eventually miss out on what was intended initially. Having said that, there are times I didn't wait and made use of the first opportunity which I am proud of because it was close miss and I was ready by then.

So, what I am trying to say is do things you want to do the minute you get a chance and not wait thinking you will get it later because you won't. Say Hi to people that matter or you are acquainted with when you have a chance (and a proper Bye if it is farewell) because you never know when's the next time you might see them or if you will ever see them. If you know you are never going to see someone, make use of the chance you have to see them, to check them out and not feel a tinge bit of regret afterwards, which may or may not affect you in the long run.

That's all for now. Thank you so much for reading. I will see you in the next one.
