The Jack of Many Trades

Did you know that I had once won a prize for a dance competition from the famous Kollywood movie choreographer "Kala Master"? I did!! It was a fancy phone with those blackberry kind qwerty keypad. 

So do I dance well? Umm actually I dance like I have two right feet. Seriously! 

Well, here's what happened.. It was a competition at my corporate company and a renowned dance group had only one girl in it. For their concept for the Finale, they desperately needed another girl. Well, I just happened to walk by. 😂

So when they asked me if I could dance, I said why not! 😎 The next few days were of great struggle.. not as much to me as for them. The chief dancer was at wits end. 😥 It was a great challenge to make me dance. Anyway, I somehow pulled off a few steps and based on the overall performance, the team won the prize. So that's how, me, the one with two right feet actually got awarded a phone from Kala Master. Yay!

Those who know me well, know that I've got this strange condition where I cannot pass up an opportunity.  I've sold iced teas in supermarkets; I've done paid babysitting; I've sold skin care products; I have promoted brands at the malls; I have assisted in event management; I've done modelling; I've attended an interview to be a Tamil newsreader. (Yep!) I have interned at a shipping company. I have built (in vain) a startup on e-commerce; I have hosted events, some of them with an audience of over 2000 people. (Those of you who know me as an introvert must be quite shocked😆). I have won a few poetry competitions. I had designed several fashion clothes on MS Paint and Photoshop when I was a child! I have spoken on the radio and dialed to be heard on TV. 😝 I'm a nutritionist and have delivered lectures at colleges and events. I know some French, along with 4 other languages. I'm a Govt-awarded "city-school topper" in the final school exams.  I create public content on healthy eating on Instagram. I have also been an Insta "influencer" for a Swiss based nutrition brand. I've attended umpteen workshops on random topics, like really random topics!!  I'm basically the Jack of many trades! When I see an opportunity I go for it, without much thought on if it would help me in the long term, as long as I feel it right at the moment.

Most of my blogs end with a message. This time there's none. It is just self pondering. Is it okay to be a Jack of many trades? Is it okay to go on and on without a solid purpose? I think it is okay! It is okay to wander through life, finding interesting things until you die! 

So, what's your opinion? 😀 PS: Read this lovely quote below!
