Got to know yesterday that there’s no annual hike this year too so seeking comfort I decided to treat myself to a lavish breakfast at a book café. I found this gentle gem, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon by James Norbury, lying on my table, probably left there by a kid.
Browsing through the book, I didn’t expect it to resonate as deeply as it did. In the opening pages itself, Big Panda asks, “Which is more important, the journey or the destination?” And Tiny Dragon replies, “The company.” This simple conversation hits hard, reminding me of what really matters amidst all the hustle and setbacks.
This book felt like a warm reminder that life isn’t just about where we’re headed or how fast we get there. It’s about who’s there with us, sharing the laughter, the quiet moments, and even the bumps along the way.
It’s funny how life sometimes puts the right words in front of us, just when we need them most. How a children's book left by chance on a café table could turn a morning of disappointment into one of unexpected enlightenment.
I came for breakfast, but left with a full heart. Sometimes, a little wisdom shows up in the most unexpected places – it just needs a quiet moment with a forgotten book and an open heart.

Tried to pull an all nighter to finish reading a book which I was already halfway through. Sadly could only read 140 pages and now need to go to sleep because otherwise won't be able to function for work.
Sometimes gotta accept defeat 🫠
