You sleep, wake up, freshen up, eat, go for work via the same route, come back and chill on the same couch while having pretty much the same food on your plate again and again. This way following the same routine, we get comfortable in our skin and in turn comfortable with whatever routine we follow. We prepare our body and mind in the same way and leave no room to explore more and come out of this comfort zone. But is this healthy? Should we not explore enough before departing from the universe?

A little boy once saw a caterpillar in his garden. From that day, he started observing the changes it goes through each day.

I see it must be struggling.

Neha has been assigned a new and interesting project on which she can work during her free time. She has been looking for such an opportunity from quite some time.

After half a day she pushed it further saying "This is a whole new project I know nothing about. I think I must start it fresh some day!"
