Being the hyper productive and rational type also means that I look for a cause-effect relation for everything in life. It is only recently that I’ve realized that there is a certain level of randomness to life that is inexplicable.

How I fell in and out of love, found a talented employee, fell sick despite doing it all right, lost a game of badminton, or even ran into an old school friend.

The more I try to understand life, the more I realize that it is futile. Yes. I still have to put my best foot forward and not just wait to blame it on the randomness, but this realization has helped me accept.

Accept that things happen, life happens. And not everything is about what someone else or I did. And this acceptance has brought a negligible yet impactful level of peace that has helped me move on in life and embrace a lot of things that would’ve otherwise jolted me.

So, if you’re wondering why I’m writing this down on a Sunday evening – there’s no particular reason. It’s random.
