Wow, Punit, this is a beautiful life lesson so delightfully delivered - what an awesome poem! I'm saving it to read again and again!

And thank you for the mention - that's very kind.

I am no stranger to being overburdened with tasks, and you've really made me think about how to manage things rather better. THANK YOU.

Brilliant poem and an important message. It's easy to get overburdened with tasks, to say 'yes to each new hat'. But there's always a point when it becomes too much.

The mountain climb was a good metaphor, loved how you weaved that into the poem, without making it only an obvious metaphor.

Great writing, Punit.
