As we bid farewell to 2023, it’s time to reflect on the transformative journey that reshaped my life and perspective. The roller coaster ride commenced with the homecoming of our ‘Little Angel Bhavvya’, prompting a shift towards prioritizing family and my personal well-being. Simultaneously, it marked the inception of my reflective blog, ‘NextStruggle’, offering insights into my life philosophy.

Little Angel’s Homecoming

The journey of 2023 began with a resolute commitment to health and family, evolving into a profound transformation that forever altered life’s trajectory. Year 2022, Ended with a dedication to reclaiming physical fitness, shedding 20 kgs, and embracing a “family first” ethos along with leading Purposeful Life. This year my decision to spend 100% of time with my pregnant wife set the stage for a transformative experience.

Pregnancy has consistently been a challenging and emotional journey for us, and this time was no exception as fibroids developed during the pregnancy. Despite facing life’s hurdles, we discovered joy in every moment. Engaging in all Hindu ceremonies associated with pregnancy, we maintained a hopeful perspective and underwent numerous tests to ensure the safety and well-being of both the baby and the mother throughout this journey.

The awaited day arrived unexpectedly during a Delhi checkup, leading to an impromptu admission. Within a few hours, our baby girl joyously entered the world. Gratitude echoes for the skilled medical professionals Dr. Dash of Rejoice Hospital, who played a pivotal role in this transformative moment, delivering a healthy baby and successfully performing the surgical removal of the fibroid. Being present in the theatre room, hearing the first cry, encapsulates the full circle of life, marking the commencement of a new chapter in our journey.

Parenthood: Treasure trove of cherished memories.

As our Little Angel arrives home, We still remember homecoming rituals, family blessings, and the warmth of newfound parenthood. Celebrating the one-month Mool puja turned into a grand gathering, symbolizing the joyous commencement of this new chapter.

Subsequently, each day brought joy as we witnessed the growth of our little one. Monthly milestones were celebrated with gratitude, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of life.

Reflecting on the year gone by, I express gratitude to God for gifting me beautiful moments to cherish. From spending precious days out to enduring sleepless nights of parenthood, understanding the needs of our little angel through her cries, and engaging in the routine of cleaning and conversing with her as she gazes back at you—this entire experience serves as a reminder that no matter what plans you make in life, God always has a greater plan; you just need to believe in it.

NextStruggle Thoughtful Experience Blog

In the midst of the joys of parenthood, a long-nurtured dream came to life—NextStruggle, a blog that captures my thoughtful experiences and reflections on life. It offers a glimpse into my life and perspective as seen through the eyes of a small-town guy from India. As a experience techie, handling the technical aspects such as setting up servers and applications for the blog is a breeze for me. However, translating my experiences into words for NextStruggle is an entirely different and challenging endeavour.

The birth of NextStruggle became a platform to share my experiences spanning Life, Technology, Corporate intricacies, Politics, Bharat (India) and My Adventures. Documenting the journey served as a medium to reevaluate bold decisions made amidst life’s rat race.

Chronicling experiences allowed moments to be revisited, appreciated, and reimagined. Writing became a therapeutic tool—a means to rest, reflect, and recognise the value of life in unconventional choices. These writings reinforced the importance of veering away from societal norms and embracing a purposeful life.

As the calendar turns to 2024, The life changing movement i witnessed in 2023, my resolution remains steadfast for 2024—

To live a purposeful, healthy, and joyful life. 

The lessons learned in 2023, A life away from the rat race, have re-taught me my moto: To love what I do and Do what I love. May this narrative inspire a commitment to purpose, an acceptance of reality, and a collective effort to foster healthy and happy environments in the year ahead.

Wishing you a New Year filled with boundless joy and robust health. Happy New Year 2024
