Achievements of 2024 That Make Me Smile
Hello, my friends.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year 2025! May this new year bring prosperity and fulfill all your dreams.
As I sit back and reflect on the passing year of 2024, a wave of gratitude and joy washes over me. It has been a year filled with personal growth, creativity, and unforgettable moments.
From conquering fears to embracing new hobbies, I can proudly say that this year has been transformative for me.
Here are my top 10 achievements that make me smile and keep me motivated every single day:
Publishing My Book
One of the biggest milestones this year was publishing my book. Yes, this year I published two books—Meri Kalam Se (a collection of my poetry) and Meri Adhuri Kahani (a storybook).
These books encapsulate my emotions, stories, and experiences, reflecting my passion for writing. The feedback I received from readers has been overwhelming, motivating me to keep penning down my thoughts.
Growing My Blog Community
My blog, which started as a hobby, has blossomed into a thriving platform. It has not only connected me with wonderful readers but also given me a purpose. Writing consistently and engaging with readers has been a rewarding journey.
I am excited to share that I published 1,051 blog posts this year, receiving many views and likes. Your kind comments bring me joy.
Creating 31 Art Pieces
This year, I challenged myself to create 251 sketches and 51 paintings. Although I reached 200 sketches and 31 paintings, it felt like a massive accomplishment.
Each piece tells a story and captures a moment of creativity, making my art journey deeply fulfilling.
Exploring New Travel Destinations
My spontaneous trips to Gangtok and Darjeeling were soul-refreshing. From spiritual experiences at Ganesh Tok and Hanuman Tok to soaking in nature’s beauty, these travels rekindled my adventurous spirit.
And my most adventurous trip was a visit to Nathula Pass—Garmi Mein Thandi Ka Ehsaas! 😂
Health and Fitness Transformation
As I am health-conscious, I dedicated sufficient time to my health by incorporating regular exercise, kayaking, and yoga.
Staying fit has not only boosted my energy but also kept me focused and positive throughout the year. I also motivated others through blog writing on fitness.
Poetry and Song Creations
This is my new hobby, developed during the past year. I unleashed my inner poet and songwriter, creating heartfelt pieces like Barsaat Me, Dil Ka Rishta, and Dil Udaas Hai.
These creations have touched my heart and strengthened my love for rhythm and words.
Building a Positive Mindset
2024 has been a year of cultivating happiness. Retirement life has great challenges to stay positive and enjoy a happy life.
Despite some minor health issues, I prioritized positivity through practicing forgiveness, gratitude, and helpfulness.
By embracing these principles, I’ve learned to let go of negativity and celebrate life.
Writing on Health Awareness
My blog has become a genuine platform for motivating myself and others through health awareness. I explored topics like thyroid health, cognitive enhancement, and the benefits of garlic and other medicinal plants.
Raising awareness about health through my blogs not only educated my readers but also helped me lead a more mindful lifestyle.
Strengthening Family Bonds
Happy family relationships are key to wellness and enjoying a fulfilling life. Spending quality time with my granddaughter, enjoying travels and trips with my partner, and cherishing beachside lunches have strengthened my relationships.
These moments remind me that happiness truly lies in shared experiences.
Inspirational Journey of “Net Ninja”
It was a great achievement that, at the age of 66, I took part in the Table Tennis Tournament in December. The tournament wasn’t just about competition; it was a celebration of sportsmanship and community spirit.
For two days, our society came alive with cheers, laughter, and the thrill of the game. Spectators enjoyed every moment, cheering for their favorite teams and applauding great shots.
Though we didn’t win the trophy, being the runner-up in the final felt like a victory. The journey of Net Ninja has only just begun.
With newfound confidence and a hunger to improve, I’m already looking forward to the next tournament.
Personally, this experience reignited my love for sports, reminding me that I can still hold my own on the court—be it in table tennis or cricket.
Age may add years to our lives, but it’s the passion for learning and playing that keeps us truly young.
Final Thoughts
Life threw its share of obstacles, but I faced them with determination. Whether it was health issues or creative blocks, I turned them into opportunities to grow stronger and wiser.
These achievements are not just milestones; they are reminders of my journey, courage, and passion.
As 2024 draws to a close, I carry forward these lessons and memories into the new year with renewed enthusiasm.
May the coming year bring even more reasons to smile and celebrate!
BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…
