Atharv’s Chronicle 31-01-2026 : “Family, Faith & Finding Myself – Thank You 2025!”

Let me talk about the year – 2025!

It wasn’t a year of big achievements or viral moments.
It was a year of presence.
Of showing up for family.
Of learning to sit in maintenance mode without guilt.

And maybe… that was the real growth.

Honestly speaking, this year went super fast – got busy with lot of travel, family events, Brother’s marriage and so much of life happened and getting settled with my marriage too!

Spent lot of time with family this year, had been on couple of trips with family, friends and with my love!

I can say this year I was on a maintenance mode and was getting charged up for the upcoming year!

However I could manage to start my Youtube Channel – with the mindset – I wanted to make it exist first and then make it better – my intention is to share my life’s learnings

I posted around 5 videos and currently on break – will be resuming asap

Checkout my first ever YT video here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1QpoqynxSw&t=8s

it’s just that I am unable to give time – I know I shouldn’t be giving reasons, I will be back soon with renewed energy, renewed perceptions and a new aura!

I will at least post one video every month! (failed at it for Jan month, probably won’t post in feb as well, will resume from March 2026)

and I could manage to write 22 newsletters this year – I love how consistent I am with my hobbies!

It’s really a master skill which I posses!

and I could manage to hit average 7.5k steps everyday throughout the year and this year my fitness was also on maintenance mode!

and I ran three 5k marathons this year – yaaay, more to go in coming year!

Travelled so much this year!

• Had been on pilgrimage trips with parents and In laws and felt grateful to receive spiritual blessings – covered Somnath, Dwaraka, Tirupathi, Dharmasthala this year!

• Took my first ever international flight and made forever memories with my love – had been on 7 days trip to Malaysia – had the best times – Checkout my Malaysia Travel Journey here

• Had been on southern India Road trip covering 1650+ KM’s over 6 days with my Homies

• Went on a long 750+ KM’s Bike Ride with my love

• Trekked mountains with my cousins – had a wonderful time

• Witnessed the beauty of Mysore during Dasara

• Went on couple of bike rides → covered Elephant tower Hosur, Ramanagara Betta etc

• Soaked in the beauty of sunsets with my love at secluded Panambur beach – one of my favourite!

• Went on many Long drives with my love!

Did enjoy each and every moment of these trips!

but posted only 5-10% of my travel on social media – I don’t know, I really don’t find that urge to post, may be I should work on it considering the social image and the opportunities it provides.

And so much of family events and celebrations this year!

• Performed a Devara Karya at Native

• Srinivasa Kalyana Pooje with my parents and In laws

• Brother’s marriage – Haldi, Muhurthum, Reception, Beegara oota

did enjoy all the events and made long lasting memories!

I made sure I lived all the moments with my full involvement and I’ve celebrated life – thanks to this beautiful and cheerful life!

last but not the least, I could help my dear ones with whatever I can and I see them grow, it gives immense happiness when you know that you are the reason for someone’s happiness!

Here are few of my learnings as part of 2025!

• It’s okay to be on maintenance mode – when you’ve put in all your efforts, you should consider sitting back and relaxing as well!

• Everyone deserve to be loved – Whenever and Wherever you can – give out love – the world needs more of it!

• If you can help someone, then you must.

• Miracles happens everyday when you are pure with your intentions.

• You can manifest anything when you work for it!

• It’s okay to be emotional, it’s part of life – but make sure to speak out when needed!

• Don’t lose yourself in the process of satisfying the world!

• When you keep your ego aside and stay grounded, life is so much peaceful!

• Take care of your parents – they need us more as they age!

• Whenever you say thanks and give it back to the universe, You will receive more.

• When you have the chance to make an impact in someone’s life, take it and do it – It’s just one life – make it count!

• If you have someone who consider your win/lose as theirs – save them – they’re gold!

• Out of everything that you can give, give love – Period!

this newsletter was drafted on 29th of December 2025

but took almost 40 days to share it

Got real busy with life, so many events and so much of travelling and Life has been an emotional roller coaster since the beginning of this year – my routine was changed, my default emotions got altered, going through lot of emotions that life is throwing at me, but I am pretty much sure, whatever happens, it is happening and it happened for a reason

life is teaching me/correcting me so much in so short interval of time →Accepting it, Learning it, correcting it and growing stronger with it → Cheers to life!

so many learning in last one month, will be sharing those learnings in upcoming newsletter!

Thank you for being part of my newsletter, you guys are a vibe!

I hope you gained some insights from reading this, See you in the next one!
