“Ikigai is a beautiful concept, but I could never reach the center. Life is not so well-balanced.”
“What is your advice to youngsters choosing a line of work?”
“Let your work have a bit of everything that’s you, though all may not be profitable lines. There is always something to soothe, when the markets sting and singe. I took a long time to set up this business, but haven’t found a suitable name for it as yet.”
“May I suggest Kaleidoscope? You’re known to be a multi-potentialite.”
“How about Plan B,C and more …. We never fail as a tagline?”


That was really interesting, Reena. Loved the bit about the tagline!

I love this! I’ve never heard of Ikigai before, but have started down a rabbit hole of information about it — as always, you are teaching me so much about life in your lovely stories!
I love the idea of a company having contingency plans for the contingency plans….being prepared and never not thinking through all perspectives of a potential issue. What businesses are supposed to do — at least, what I learned public relations and communications departments are supposed to do in organizational management 😉 🖤
Thank you so much for joining us my writing friend 📚🖤

Isn’t it great, my friend, that we lead very different lives and learn so much from each other. I came across the concept of homeschooling on your blog, and then found that there are advocates for it in India too.

Yay!!! I’m so glad I could help you learn too — I had lost my love of learning in high school {secondary school} and didn’t regain it until college. I didn’t want my children to suffer that same fate 🖤 Much can be learned by sharing a learned curiosity 🖤
