    Why no name, no qualifications, no relevant college membership, no statement of kind of membership of Engineers Australia?

    Dear Reader,

    Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for taking the time to engage with my blog. Passionista47 is a platform where I share ideas and perspectives on topics I’m passionate about, including energy transition and sustainability. While I hold professional qualifications in civil, structural, environmental engineering and am a proud member of the Structural College – Victoria Branch Committee under Engineers Australia, this blog is intended to encourage open discussions rather than serve as a formal representation of memberships or qualifications.

    For inquiries related to Engineers Australia memberships and professional standards, I recommend connecting with the EA Exchange forum. It’s a great platform for discussions, resources, and networking within the engineering community.

    I appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks

I have heard my friends, family members continuously seeking motivational lecture from me on one and another topic. I know it’s funny, but yeah!! I am good at it.. Anyways, coming back to the topic….. To all their problems, I want to say that “You Don’t Need Motivation. You Need discipline to conquer every situation.” Motivation gets you started…. Discipline keeps you going… Most people never realize this. And eventually they quit the game without making any effort to persist and build discipline in their life. That’s the reason why only a few people are able to reach the TOP of the world. Because they control their lives. By sticking to that discipline. Success doesn’t care about your feelings. That could be hard hitting to you.  Success only cares about you showing up to work every single day. Nothing else. The average individual thinks they need any motivation, inspiration, or energy to get to work.  But that’s now how things work. The more you act, the more you get inspire...

"A sudden plan, a scenic view, and a memory etched forever to Mt. Macedon."

Image
Last week, Micky (my wonderful husband) and I decided to break away from our busy schedules for a spontaneous getaway to Mt Macedon. 🌟 As someone who has never experienced the true magic of Christmas before moving to Australia, this trip turned into a perfect blend of scenic beauty, festive vibes, and heartwarming moments. πŸ’– Here's how our adventure unfolded: πŸŽ’   The Journey Begins: A Sudden Decision It all started with an impromptu idea over bed tea  ☕  on Sunday morning. "Let’s go somewhere today," I suggested. Micky’s eyes lit up (as they always do when there’s a hint of adventure)πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–.  😍  Within an hour, we packed our essentials and set off from Craigieburn, Melbourne, toward Mt Macedon, just an hour’s plus half drive away.  πŸš— The drive itself felt like a prelude to something extraordinary. With Christmas decorations adorning houses  πŸŽ„  along the way, the festive spirit was in the air. We even made a quick stop at Mt Macedon Post, a c...

"Happiness itself can only be amplified when shared"

Image
  😊  Let your true radiance takes center stage where ever you go😊   True glow !! True radiance !! yes, IT has a unique energy. It's true... We all know the true glow doesn't come from a fancy powder package; rather, it comes from the feeling of HAPPINESS in general. Ahh, happiness. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? I never imagined I'd be writing anything public about what happiness means to me. Because that’s the thing about being happy, it is personal. What makes one person happy won’t make another person feel quite the same, and as a result, I don’t want this post to become a guide or even some sort of advice clinic. Rather, this is just me, having been inspired by the most wonderful, lovely, kind, generous, fun, determined, and ambitious group of people in the whole world in my surroundings.                                           πŸ˜‡?...

A grand entrance                G’day mates! 😎 Let me take you on a delightful journey to Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne, where my husband Micky, my mate Prabh, and I spent an unforgettable day soaking up the Aussie sunshine and exploring its charming sights. This day trip was packed with scenic beauty, laughs, and a sprinkle of history.                  Arrival at Fitzroy Gardens – A Grand Entrance 🌿🌴 Melbourne’s weather was as pleasant as a cool summer breeze – just right for a garden stroll.

I think all of us do at some point in life, Right? For her, right now Steve her lover is on her mind, and she is wondering how things have turned out in their relationship. To begin with, Steve and Diana are one of those couples who never converge on talking to each other. They just met out of humor.  A humorous reaction to a WhatsApp message adds weight to upcoming conversations.  It's amazing when your humor coincides with someone's else, your vibes attract and you both just spend the whole day laughing at everything you both say. They were into the same zone and later, those jokes switched into wee hours where morning chatting and teasing turned into cute emojis. Both were enjoying their woohoo moments.  But, dating was not the perfect call because Diana was resistant to the idea at the time. So, to be ...

5 Morning Routine That Changed My Life :))

Image
  W hat you do after waking up is more important than when you wakeup. We all have 24 hrs in a day, yet some people are greatly successful and others aren't. Although there are multiple factors responsible for it.  one of the most important factors is having a routine . Everyone who has achieved something significant in life swears by having a system and following a routine once mentioned by my father.   I know everyone hated the idea of having a routine, it’s like caging somebody. I heard my siblings mentioning that routine always felt like  we would have to compromise our freedom. But the good news is — routines don't take away your freedom instead provide you with the same.  when you work on the XYZ task every day at the same time you’re basically lowering the time taken to accomplish a task. Moreover, once it becomes a habit you don't have to think much about it. You can utilize that time for doing other cognitively demanding tasks. Having a mornin...
