All the fun & learning comes from applied knowledge, not merely consumed.

I’m sure you enjoyed practicals over theory classes in school?

Well, I’m going through such a situation right now. You know, those projects that become more & more complex as you do them? Yea, I thought it’s a simple one, but no. It’s getting more and more complex (good for me, I love these :)

When it gets a bit overwhelming, I get reminded of the fancy words I’ve written in the past few days. Felt kinda stupid not applying my own sikhaaman (Kutchi / Gujarati word for unsolicited advice or preachiness — almost like acting holier-than-thou).

But even then, as soon as I apply some of them, it becomes so much fun. It suddenly feels good to do - because there is clarity and progress. When you are feeling good like this — via action, it also helps you get a lot done. Plus, it also helps you digest your knowledge and refine it further.

Do share if you have similar experiences in life. Would love to hear them!
