So, today is 22 September, and I had a little chat with Chat gpt — and I discovered that there are 100 days remaining till 2026.After reading that, not only I had a panic reaction but also a sense of loss.

So, if you don’t know anything about me, there is this one detail that I absolutely want you to know.

And that is — sometimes I am very unrealistically ambitious.

I dream of things, put myself into scenarios, and hope that all my dreams would come true.

In my fantasy land, there is no such thing as TIME. But you know what, that’s the main difference between my dream world and the world I am living in.

TIME is proven to be real and it is slipping away.

I made this pretty vision board for 2025 with my best friend, Saniya, I had the blast of my life doing that.

But visions don’t become real just because you stuck a pretty picture on a sturdy cardboard piece you bought off of a bargain shop.

What I mean is — My visions haven’t been fulfilled or completed yet. Honestly, it didn’t even feel this serious, but when I decided to think about how we are almost at the end of 2025,

the numbered days ahead sent a surging blast of emotions.Only 100 days for 2026 !!!

That’s serious.

That’s serious for an over ambitious person.

That’s serious for me.

What happened to the novel I was going to write?

Or the podcast I was going to launch?

Or the music album I was so looking forward to release this year?

Where did all the burning passion go?!

I was not a believer of the concept ‘Life Takes Over.’

But I am starting to learn this the hard way that, sometimes we have to make certain things, our priorities.

Then, and only then, will they manifest into reality.

To be honest, once again — I am sick of being a person with no discipline.

I wanted to bring that one quality to everything that I did this year, and now that only 100 days are remaining, I feel like I’m lost.

Thus, I thought that, to stop feeling this ugly feeling — I need to write.

If I write I’ll be forced to make stuff happen.

If I make stuff happen, I’ll be forced to write.

Weaving these two activities, make me feel like — my visions might become real.

I promised myself today to document the upcoming 100 days. To document the life I’ll be living to the fullest and the energy that I’ll be bringing to all the things I want to see becoming real.

Nora Ephron said — ”If you write, you can turn your lessons into a legacy.”

I don’t know if I’m building a legacy but I want The Mrunalii of Jan 2026 to feel proud of the way I am today.

On the new year’s day- I want to feel accomplished.I want to call this journey “The 100 Days Rush”.

I like the title, it makes me look forward to the upcoming 100 days of my life.
