The Cycle Of Life
Outlook|December 02, 2019
EVERY day of renewed energy is a message by Nature to continue adding value to life and living.
The Cycle Of Life

This is the belief I have grown up with. Hence, giving each day my maximum has been a habit. It is self-driven and effortless. I owe this attitude and belief to my mother and my father who led by example. My mother would be the first one to get up to ensure each one starts the day early to meet the set plans of the day.

We were a tennis-playing family and had to get up early to do our fitness and practice. We equally valued education. Along with playing competitive tennis, we sisters were toppers of our respective classes. Tennis came from my father and love for education from my mother. These self-driven habits gave me enormous energy every day.

This is how my entire police career was. After a workout on my cross-trainer at home and or a morning walk in the adjacent Talkatora Garden in Delhi, I would leave for work early. If in the district policing, it was a visit to a police station. If it was traffic police, it was on the roads at 8 am, before peak traffic picks up. For my tenure in the prisons section, it was a nine am walk inside the jail.

Fast forward to my current responsibility as Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry—each day is complete with a tremendous sense of worth. Each day is one of accomplishment, in some form or the other. Let me share with you how I start my day, which shall be evidence of the accomplishment which I feel here. It’s been now three-and-a-half years. Time has just flown. There is so much to do. Each day makes the difference.
