Great post Adi. Not sure how many times I would say this but both of our lives are intertwining.

Posts from you are inspiring me to show up each and every day. And being the best possible father figure I can be.

I am reading JK Rowling to her. I ll give Roald Dahl a try now. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Thank you Pranjal, means a lot 🙏🏻

I'm learning a lot about myself as well. It can get too much at times, but that's how all life is I guess.

Also, JKR /HP is awesome - will definitely get to that soon 😄

It's funny how common it comes up.. Life always had a tendency to become busy and excuses creep in. You've been kicking ass John! Appreciate you reading brother

Oh this is so beautiful Adi! I was recently talking to my friend and he mentioned how he doesn't even remember the first year.

And I'm assuming that you taking out the time to do these things is slowing you down and making you remember those tiny momens.

All the best for being the best dad and focusng on improving yourself!!!

Thank you Shruthi 😊 I can see how that would be.. The first 3 months have gone by in a flash and her mannerisms have already started changing.. Its surprising!

Trying to balance all things and be present 🙏🏻

"But it’s not sitting in my drafts this week." Exactly how I felt with my last one. Gotta utilize whatever momentum we've got. Hope you're hanging in there! Stay steady.

Yess Hope to see you pop up in between cohorts! I dunno if I'll get to come back next time, but they're planning on trying to keep the energy going until then 😊 But I know you've got your hands full right now!
