Project Life - Gauris Manifesto

I love my peace and the people around me. I’m not exactly a health nut, but I do pay attention to what I eat and how it affects me. And no, I’m not obsessed—just aware.

Life is pretty simple—though it takes a lot of effort to keep it that way. The mind has a way of chasing after so many things, making it more complicated than it needs to be. I’m constantly learning and unlearning, especially when I realize I’m wrong or something piques my curiosity.

I enjoy using big words in conversations, not to weigh them down, but to satisfy my mind’s little quirks. Everyone’s a champion in their own right, though I’ve moved past the idea of being the “main character.”

This is just a glimpse of Gauri’s manifesto—how she envisions her life as long as she’s here. A life that’s peaceful yet always reaching for greatness, with a touch of quirk, fun, and adventure.

So, Project Life—this is where I highlight the activities, hobbies, and skills I want to build over time.

I have a bit of an obsession with pushing myself into new habits. Last year, around 5 AM, I made a promise to myself to walk 2-3 km every day to get a plant for six months. I did it—though, I wasn’t the best at keeping those plants alive.

To be honest, this is just a snapshot of what goes through my mind each year. Every year, I jot down what I expect—or don’t expect—from the year ahead.

I'm naturally an adventurer. I love people, and I always spot cats when I’m out and about. I adore animals, from the tiniest insects to the biggest whales.
