The Earbud saga

Every morning, I stretch; make pushups after a long walk far away from home

Its the only way to keep sane and functional with all my muscles, bones and joints considering most of architectural work requires sitting all day

This day, I took the long walk listening to a podcast and to kick off the stretch session, I placed the earbuds together with the phone in one of my pockets.

After the set of exercises, push ups inclusive (Yah really… they were 40 in number to be specific) It was time to leave for home

While exiting the lawn from where I had exercised, I pull out my phone from the pocket and along with it the earbuds dropped unaware to the ground.

I wanted to continue with the podcast but touching my pockets multiple times, the earbuds were no where to be found

My mind ran back to the place it all began

The point from which I placed the buds into my pocket,

Walking back, I spent half an hour searching, looking everywhere for them

You may wonder why they were that important to me, why not just go buy new ones and get on with life?

Its much more complicated than that

These earbuds are the aid while editing videos you watch at nalitect studio they have delivered quality sound reliably for the past 2 years.

Basically, I was tired of buying new headphones every month and these ones solved the problem so well, I no longer had to think about it.

Also worth mentioning, they were quite costly to purchase compared to usual headsets, as I shipped them from the US and waited a month to have them delivered.

So If you are familiar with the tradition of catching grasshoppers by hand, That was me turning the lawn upside down to find those precious little things

The hope was dwindling, As I exhausted the expected region.

Nothing haunts like seeing earbuds connected to your phone but you cant locate them even when they are on maximum volume

Nothing yet! so I decide to trace my footsteps back to the exit point, the very place I should have started searching

And there they were… in broad view not even hiden beneath blades of grass

What is the moral of the story?

The Best place to start is where you are, here and now. Sometimes we are caught up in the past wondering what went wrong, when the answer lies before us in the present.

If only I observed right about and around me carefully, I would have saved myself half an hour of struggle looking at all the wrong points.

Some times the answer is found just when you are about to give up, The extra effort to try something you had not tried before can lead you right to the place where you were hoping to get

That is exactly how am able to land and share most of the ideas, tricks and hacks about archicad.

It is always worth the patience if you have good enough reasons for the search.

Stay creative
