Be Your Own Baba (Vol - 5)

My dear friends,
Like so many people, I too have seen my fair share of disorder and disharmony in life — the nature of life is such that it demands us to go through the drill to become a better version of ourselves. The very first time I was knocked down, I felt terribly hurt; the second time, it was awful; the third time was the worst. Then? I stopped keeping count and started pouring out my experiences and learning into words. Writing helped me introspect and heal. It helped me to cultivate an outsider’s view of the small and big challenges that life throws at us with unfailing consistency. As I continued to write, I realised that I was not only coming to terms with many of my experiences but was also starting to accept myself for who I was rather than who I was expected to be. This shift in my thought process gave me the confidence to share my views, ideas and words with the world. What started as an exercise to discipline my racing mind eventually grew into a habit. And when some kind friends said that my writing brought them succour, I was positively pushed into writing more. Over time, writing has come to be an expression of love, joy and motivation that not only validates my thoughts but lightens my suffering as well. So, here I am after five years into this journey, compiling my thoughts and words into a book, hoping they would bring you closer to yourself, as they have done me.
Love,
Nithya Prabu
