"Kisi ko miloge tabhi toh baatein hongi" (You’ll only have conversations when you meet people) my mom would always say this..
As an introvert, I understood the sentiment, but random small talk and social events weren’t my cup of tea. I thrived within the comfort of close friends and family.
🚀 Then came the big move of shifting to Chennai. I was stepping out of my cozy bubble for the first time. The initial excitement faded, replaced by a feeling of being stuck. Long work hours when merged into family responsibilities, and I lost sight of the life I once had.
Back in Chandigarh, I was independent—financially and emotionally. Those familiar lanes, the buzzing sectors—they were mine. I’d attend meetings, grab lunch, or wander alone, relishing my own company. It felt like “me.” But Chennai was different—the roads, the people, language, food even the weather—it was all new.
One day, I had an awakening🌱 I realized I was neglecting my mental well-being. Work consumed me, leaving no room for personal growth.
So, I stepped out of my comfort zone. I thought of joining the community groups, meet new faces, and built connections—not just for business but for my own enrichment.
So last week, I attended a meet led by and organized by
And guess what? It was the best decision I’ve made. Why? Because I felt alive..
This experience underscored the importance of connecting with people with the right confidence and building presence that commands attention. And Natasha explained it so perfectly 💕
Personally, I also realized that all it takes is a little effort for oneself – showing up at events, consistently putting in effort for personal growth, and absorbing knowledge and experiences.
🌈 So, here’s my advice: Show up, put in that little effort, and watch your world expand. Because it' s all about connections, both for your business, personal brand or your own growth 🌼
Ps: It was so good to interact with you all
