EXPRESSIONS BY POORNIMA

Sharing a photo from my college days, where I am with one of my close friends Aruna Pandian, taken during one of our sports meets, when table tennis was my escape, my energy and my joy.
It still is.
Even now, whenever I pick up the paddle, I am reminded that this fast-paced, focused game has quietly shaped the way I approach my work and life.

🏓 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 – 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠
In table tennis, you don’t win by just hitting hard.
You win by hitting smart.
Work is similar. Intentional actions beat rushed reactions.

🧠 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲
Nothing is random. You read the situation, plan your shot and stay two steps ahead.
That’s how I plan my marketing tasks and campaigns, too. With clarity and foresight.

🔄 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐝-𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲
If the game changes, so does your grip, angle or spin.
Whether it’s parenting or project work, agility and responding to situations quickly and appropriately matters.

💪 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭
One missed point? Let it go. Move on.
From workplace setbacks to parenting misses, resilience is the real game.

The best part?

At work, You can show up every day with structure, focus and a plan…
Tick off your to-do lists with intention…
And still find deep, quiet joy in the process.
Because joy at work isn’t always loud or dramatic.
Sometimes, it’s simply the satisfaction of doing what you love—with care, with consistency and with heart.
