Finally I met Myself !

"Sometimes, when you are not able to find the real purpose of your life, time does it for you."

Now you gonna think, "How this line describes my story as an Artist"? So I would like to continue with a flashback to my recent past.

My life was going on just like a normal working woman. After a long journey of education and 7 years of IT engineering job in a big MNCs, I was almost lost in life's never-ending pursuit. I was running and running and running for an unknown cause, which I guess, is the case with many people around us. Marriage and motherhood came with some more responsibilities and daily duties. There was a time, when I struggled to bind-up my emotions, family and job. I had to live alone and apart from my husband, leaving my 6 months old daughter with my parents-in-law.

Excessive travelling, long working hours in office, and lack of care and love for my own-self, squeezed out all my essence, and left me almost broken from inside. "Time looked so cruel at that time", but best thing with time is that "It always passes." , and the same happened in my case too. At last, the day came when I decided to quit my IT engineering job and jumped completely into family responsibilities to make my family and relations blossom.

I moved out of India and started my family life with my husband and little daughter. "Time looked blissful this time"😊. My most of the time used to go in making new recipes everyday, and the remaining time flew very fast with my little daughter. Everything was on the track, but something was still missing. A direction to my inner self. That was the trigger when I started thinking about my forgotten passion and decided to work on it.

The very next weekend, I went to a creative craft store, and purchased a set of paints and brushes and few canvases. That day, I did not buy the necessary painting accessories, but "I actually bought my dreams". Out of my busy routine, somehow I started stealing little time for my dreams as well. I painted many canvases, decorated my home, and also gifted some of my artwork to my friends. Many of my friends genuinely showed their interest, and motivated me to chase my dreams. I am grateful to my family and to all of my wonderful friends.

Meanwhile, I also realized that my connection to Art is not new. Art is something, I have always been possessed of. Even in my school days, I never noticed the time whenever I painted. My inclination towards "Fine Art" and the response from my family and friends, really pushed me to create better. And thus my journey to become an "Artist" started.

⌚Time showed me the way to my dreams ! Thus, Finally I found my long term "Colorful" goal of  life 😍. And best thing is the feeling of accomplishment on completion of every art piece.
Life is really exuberant and sweet when your mind is at peace, and you are happy with what you are doing from bottom of your heart...!!

Mohini 🙏
