Notes from the past
Things that stayed in my mind, and now documented for the past couple of weeks.
Hello,
Welcome to this section of my website called “Things I Noticed”.
These will be short, frequent notes shared via email specifically.
I had three reasons to start this -
To be more aware of what I am consuming
To structure and slowly improve my writing (in some way)
To share and document what stays with me.
Here are few things from the past couple of weeks that caught my attention.
Things I noticed
A CEO shared a post on Linkedin, addressing the newly promoted MDs in his company. He shared how inspiring it is to watch them grow into these leadership roles.
On this posts comment, a stranger congratulated the CEO on his promotion to MD and explained him how hardwork always paysoff.
Movies I watched
A question I pondered over
Which comes first in a relationship? love or respect?
I was under the impression that love comes first because few years ago, when the topic came up in conversation, my parents said - it is love that comes first towards a person and then respect follows.
And I believed the opposite as my thinking was love comes anyway between two people when in close proximity along with other feelings that come.
As I live on, I feel both together gives life more meaning. But again, the question stays in my mind because lot changes based on what starts first and it differentiate in the way we live?
An act I noticed
A one-year-old child, sat quietly, eating her chocolate her grandfather had given her.
Her parents were busy working at the food stall.
She finished her chocolate, then looked at her parents, then walked to her elder brother probably three or four years old - and extended her hand.
No sound, no emotion.
He, who was watching a video on the phone, watched her hand and immediately gave his quarter eaten chocolate to her, without any hesitation.
The little girl quietly went back to her spot and started having this as if that was her battery to live.
