Mrs. Ruchika Yadav is an artist by passion and soft skills trainer by profession. Talking about her journey, she has faced many ups and downs in her life. However, her prayers and honesty at work kept her going. Her family advised her to take a government job, but coming from an HR background it was difficult for her. She worked in the corporate sector for 4 years and then joined the government as a soft skills trainer. She kept on working hard and is blessed to have what she has today. The reason why Mrs. Ruchika loves her job is that she gets to interact with a lot of people, which she loves to do.
Remembering her old days, Mrs. Ruchika talked about the most challenging period of her life. When in Delhi, she had been asked to join for training in Chennai. Her child was just 1.5 years old and she did not have the heart to go. Her inlaws and husband supported her and assured her about their child. When she was in Chennai, her husband got a great opportunity in Pune. She feared how would her child grow up with its parents apart. Later on, she also came to Pune and then all her family was together. The time she spent apart was the most difficult part of her life. Everyone gets stuck at some point in their life. Mrs. Ruchika says that it is nature’s way of telling you to take a pause and refresh yourself. Enjoy little things and do things that you love. This is a reboot system to charge your brain for the coming life.
Talking about her passion, Ruchika said that she had been interested in painting since her childhood. Her strokes were remarkable and her friends and teachers always appreciated her. She continued her passion for painting till her school and college. But later on, she got engrossed in her studies and slowly the passion for painting was left in the corner. After many years, while in Pune, she met her old friend who came to buy art supplies for her paintings. She congratulated her friend for her upcoming exhibition, but deep down she felt broken. She went home and picked up the brush and resumed her passion. Moreover, she said that family support to pursue your passions is most important. Now Mrs. Ishwari also has art exhibitions and her paintings are also published in books.
The Legit Talks asked Ruchika about selfcare. She said that selfcare is more about mental health care than about physical health care. Selfcare is about feeding your soul. Painting, for Mrs. Ishwari, is feeding her soul. The message that Mrs. Ishwari wants to give to the audience is that spend your day wisely. Follow your passion, have some me-time, and stay connected with yourself. Explore and learn different things. Many women sacrifice their passions for the sake of family, responsibilities, and society. Mrs. Ishwari urges all such women to pursue their passion at any time they want. She gave an example of her mother. Her mother is 60+ years old and is now pursuing her singing passion. Ruchika also urges the generation of today to ask their parents what they used to love or what their passions were and support them to pursue their old passion. Ruchika appreciates the efforts of The Legit Talks. She says that such platforms inspire other people to overcome their difficulties and follow their dreams.
