2024: Going, Going........ We are a few weeks away from the festivities and then the new year will roll in. Many people spend this time indulging themselves which is not a bad thing, but sadly that's the only thing many do. This year choose to take a different approach; Yes enjoy with family but also take time out to strategize and plan for 2025. Remember that for many the only new thing for them in a new year is the change of calendar but many habits and patterns that brought stagnation still remain. So this year during your festivities take time out to map out what you want to achieve in your next season so that you can start being more intentional and productive. As I close I ask you, how are you setting yourself up for 2025?

Emphasizing the Power of Grassroots Problem-Solving A few months back, I was looking to install WiFi at my place. Like many, I researched the best plans, aiming for a brand that could offer a stable, smooth, and secure experience – the "3 S's" I believe are essential to maintaining a loyal customer base. I decided to go with Airtel, opting for a six-month plan. Everything was set, but a minor issue arose during the installation: since I live in a rented house, I couldn’t get my landlord's permission to drill for the installation. Instead of exploring alternatives, the installer simply chose to abandon the job, resulting in my refund. Disappointed, I turned to a local vendor. This technician, however, took a different approach. He examined all possible options, and in true "Indian jugaad" fashion, found a small hole in the ventilation vent that could accommodate the wiring, bypassing the drilling requirement altogether. This experience reminded me of the significance of grassroots incentives and problem-solving, which can influence everything from pricing and marketing to product satisfaction. A solid foundation, empowered by creative solutions at the ground level, can truly drive long-term success. As the saying goes, “If your base is strong, you’ll eventually build a very tall building.” Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali! #GrassrootsInnovation #CustomerExperience #ProblemSolving #HappyDiwali #FestivalOfLights

🎄 Christmas Day: A Time for Awareness and Compassion 🎄 Today is Christmas Day—a day that looks different for everyone. For some, it’s a time filled with joy, surrounded by family, presents under the tree, and festive meals. For others, it’s a quieter day, focused on being together and cherishing simple moments. But let’s not forget those who face Christmas differently. Many people are spending today alone, feeling isolated or overwhelmed by sadness. For them, this day can be a stark reminder of what they don’t have—family, connection, or even the means to celebrate. At Support The Girls Australia, we recognize that everyone experiences Christmas uniquely. Whether it’s a day of celebration, reflection, or just another day to get through, there’s no right or wrong way to acknowledge it. Let’s hold space for all experiences today. Reach out to someone you know who might be struggling, or simply take a moment to reflect on the strength and resilience of those doing it tough. However you spend today, know that your feelings are valid. 💛 #ChristmasCompassion #BeKind #SupportEachOther

How is it that we claim to be good human beings, engaging in acts of kindness and generosity? I see corporate posters proclaiming their commitment to "doing great things" every day. Yet here we are, at the year-end festivities, inundated with joyful celebrations splashed across social media. Meanwhile, a real-time genocide unfolds before our eyes. How can we indulge in festive cakes and puddings while babies are starving because there’s no milk or formula to feed them? How is it that amidst the hustle of buying Christmas gifts, our brothers and sisters struggle to find clean water, a pair of shoes, a roof over their heads, or even a simple aspirin for pain relief? Let’s take a moment to reflect on our actions in contrast to the suffering around us. How do we reconcile our celebrations with the harsh realities faced by so many? It’s a call to examine our priorities and extend our humanity beyond our immediate circles, to remember that true compassion requires awareness and action, not just good intentions.

The Post-Diwali Ritual of Giving Back 🎇🐾 Usually, I I don’t prefer sharing personal stories online. But as everything moved digital, I realized these little experiences might resonate and inspire more people. So here’s a glimpse into my post-Diwali ritual with friends, where the focus isn’t just celebration but also support for our furry friends. In many Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, Diwali lasts 2-3 days, and most local food stalls, restaurants, and dhabas close up during this period—leaving stray animals without their regular food sources. 🐶🐱 That’s when we step in, using these days to make sure these animals are looked after, getting them the food and care they need. It’s not about lectures on bursting crackers; it’s about doing our bit to support the community, human and animal alike. So, if you’re someone who loves animals and enjoys the festival, consider adding this small ritual to your celebrations. Every little bit helps! 🫶
