Instructor, Senior or Akka ;)

Today our Students returned from Karaikal Tournament. As I said, I am on leave for the next 2 months, So unfortunately I had to skip this Tournament.

The students returned morning somewhere around 5.30 am. After coming, one of the Students texted me his Victory along with photo. I was happy to be acknowledged. It was a proud moment for me. One of the Students I've trained won Gold Medal in Nationals. Happy for you my Boy :)

So, Sent him my wishes and got a reply "Thanks akka"

My 1st Thought,
"Ada paavi, 2 months leave la irundha, Instructor la irundhu akka va mathitaney"

2nd Thought,
"Atleast akka nu sonane, instead of aunty"

3rd Thought,
"Instructor or Senior comes out of Respect, but akka comes out of Love & Respect. So, in some way I have touched his life, thats why he shared his happy moment with me even if he didn't have to :) " This made me happy.

Thank you God. That was a good moment :)

1 Year Working & 2 Months Break!!!!

By God's grace & with the support of my Family, started my Career as a Martial Arts Instructor on Dec 1 2016. Little did I know the difficulties & Multi tasking needed in the profession. Yes I guess am an amateur at it :D

Thought of kizhichifying a lot and entered the profession, but the profession kizhichified me a lot and now I am on a 2 months break. When I entered I thought I could keep practicing a lot.. But then, I had a lot of Admin work put on me, lots of calls, Social networking updates, Attendance maintenance, Fee updates, Belt List maintenance, Designing & ofcourse Martial Arts Training - and a little of Self Practice ;) Overall management of an Institute. All these on a 24/7 working Days., 365 Days Boss!!!

I am a person, even during school & college time, the 1st thing I see is the calender to note when are the days we have leave so as to know the count of attendance. This Lifestyle was far too hectic for me. And as my Mind & health went a little too low beyond average, I have decided to take a break now. For 2 whole months since Dec 23rd 2017.

Just realized that even the things we are passionate about if done under compulsion we could have a repulsion to it.!!!

I still Love my Art, but these Admin jobs drive me crazy!!!

God, Show me a way. Plsssss.
