Story

Hi All,

Would you be able to sponsor me to raise money for UNICEF?

I joined Autovista in July last year, so I am still relatively new compared to knowledge...

I am going to do something which will be very difficult for me. I will take 10 days (7 working days) away from work and learn meditation called Vipassana(a very ancient technique). I will be away to stay in a retreat where you are not allowed to use any digital equipment, and more challenging is that you are not allowed to speak a single word during your stay, so Noble Silent.

I am an extrovert, and if you know what extroverts mean, they sometimes can not keep their mouth shut; I am one of them, so it will be one of the most challenging things to do... I am an overthinker. Sometimes, I think so extreme and negatively, which does not help me personally. Don't get me wrong; I am very energetic and enthusiastic.

I am not telling you this to get publicity in the company; I am even out of my comfort zone to tell you this. I want to push myself and become uncomfortable raising some money for UNICEF.

I will let you know how it goes afterwards if we can talk in the future. Ping me after 18th March and share my experience.
