Dear Sadichha, I am a 29-year-old woman working at a corporate house for the past eight years. I used to enjoy my work earlier. However I have slowly began losing interest from my work. This is because I feel I have spent a long time in the same organization doing the same thing. I am convincing myself to keep up with the daily routine. However, I always return home feeling drained.

Bill Gates once said, “If you are born poor it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor it’s your mistake.” When I read this remarkable quote, I question myself what is the difference between rich and poor. In fact, if I am not wrong in my opinion, then one thing is clear; everyone wants that financial freedom in his/her life. Sadly, many people are not enjoying it in a decent manner. The reason is that they are fighting just for the sake of bread and butter in their daily lives rather than stepping out of their comfort zones. This narrow mind must be changed, if he/she wants to be financial free in life.

It is an inexplicable, awesome thing, and I bow down to it.” The definition of music varies from people to people. Some people consider it to be an escaping drug while some call it their passion. However, to be a musician, many people carry the definition of being inspired by various other people. To know about that fact, My City’s team asked various musicians who have been on their musical journey.
