Trying to live life: Day 2 to 5/335

Day 2, Wednesday—a quiet, work-filled day.

Most of the day went by in the usual rhythm of work. It was one of those steady, uneventful days that felt comforting in their predictability. In the evening, I watched Sitaare Zameen Par, an Aamir Khan film that’s an official remake of the Hollywood movie Champions. The story follows an arrogant basketball coach who is assigned to train a team of players with Down syndrome and autism. At first, he’s dismissive and emotionally closed off, unwilling to understand their world. But slowly, through his interactions with the team, he begins to see his own shortcomings. By the end, he’s learned to connect with them not just as a coach, but as a more compassionate human being. It’s a touching film about emotional growth, understanding, and empathy.

Day 3, Thursday—the day of the festival.

Thursday had a different energy altogether. It was a festival day, and my parents came over to visit. We went for a community feast and enjoyed a spread of classic South Indian food—rice, sambar, rasam, payasam, and all the traditional dishes that bring back warm memories. It was lovely sharing that meal together. Later, we sat around talking about life, the usual family discussions about plans, hopes, and worries. In the end, it felt good to remind ourselves to just live life as it comes, appreciating the small joys and staying close as a family.

Day 4, Friday—another end of the week.

Friday carried that familiar feeling of winding down. I focused on wrapping up all my work tasks so I wouldn’t have anything hanging over me for the weekend. There was a sense of relief and satisfaction in ticking everything off my list. By the evening, I felt relaxed and lighter. It was one of those simple, rewarding days where you feel you’ve earned a bit of rest and quiet at the end. Looking forward to a slower weekend ahead.

Day 5, Saturday—a simple day

Saturday was slow and restful. I slept through most of the afternoon, catching up on much-needed rest. It felt good to have no schedule or rush for once.

In the evening, my wife and I went out shopping. Nothing fancy—just picking up things we needed and spending time together. Even simple outings like that feel nice. It was an easy, quiet day, and honestly, that’s exactly what I needed.
