On movement
movement
noun · as it is meant here
Movement can mean progress, change, curiosity, momentum, a shift in perspective, or simply refusing to remain static.
It doesn't always mean moving forward. Sometimes it means changing direction, slowing down, returning to something you've neglected, or recognising that where you are is actually where you want to be.
Most importantly, movement doesn't mean there's something about you that needs fixing.

About
I’m Mukesh Vasandani, and I want to live in a world filled with infinite libraries, white chocolate with rock salt, and a force field around me that repels balloons and people who season food without tasting it first.
A lot of what I’m still learning about myself comes from being a father, a son and a brother. Those relationships, along with more than 25 years in learning and hospitality, have taught me how much it matters to feel safe enough to be vulnerable and to have room to grow.
It takes courage to move, especially when you’ve spent years getting good at being the person you’ve been. Sometimes that means slowing down. Sometimes it means taking the smallest step on a day when even that feels like a mountain. I’m doing that work every day. I don’t always get it right, but I’ve come to realise that what matters most to me is keeping a sense of motion.
This is where I write through the thoughts, ideas and reflections I keep coming back to. Perhaps you came across this site by chance. Perhaps something here makes you pause and notice a thought of your own, or a question you’d like to stay with a little longer.
Whatever brought you here, I hope you find your own way of moving towards what matters most to you.
