📝 My Creative Journey Feels Like Bamboo

A man stands confidently indoors in formal attire, juxtaposed with a rural village scene at sunset where a family sits outside a mud hut along a dirt path lined with bamboo.

Today, my Jio AirFiber stopped working, and the expert will visit tomorrow. That means no uploads, no research, no usual routine.

But in this quiet time, I remembered something powerful:

In Japan, there’s a bamboo plant that doesn’t grow at all for the first five years. You water it, care for it—and still, nothing above the ground.

But in the sixth year, it suddenly grows over 80 feet tall in just six weeks!

Why?
Because all those years, it was silently growing its roots—preparing for the moment to rise.

Sometimes, I feel like that bamboo.
No matter how slow it feels, I know every blog I write, every video I edit, every skill I sharpen—is making my roots stronger.

One day, growth will seem sudden to others.
But I’ll know… I was preparing for it the whole time.

🌙 Tonight, I’ve decided to rest.

No screens, no editing—just quality time with friends and relatives. These moments also feed the soul and remind me why I do what I do.

📌 Slowing down doesn’t mean giving up. It means charging up—for what’s next.
