Vancouver Sun Run-Walk

The virtual Vancouver Sun Run is done. Well, with the new format, we can do the virtual Sun Run when we like where we like however often we like, socially distanced and masked as we are.

It has served multiple purposes. It has enabled me to get out of my seclusion more frequently than I would have. It has caused me to be greener than I would have been. It has been a means for undertaking chores afoot. And I have tabulated my walks and calories expended and time spent. I now realize that if cherry blooms had not abounded during April 18 – 30, 2021 in Vancouver, BC, I might have walked faster, though 29.28 k in 360 minutes is a de-stressing endeavour. After decades of being enamoured by cherry blossoms and writing haiku, I have learned names of some cherry trees. I can now throw around akebono, pandora and kanzan with abandon. Matching the tree to the name is yet a challenge, and I do not believe that I will ever ace a Botany exam in Japanese.

And through it all, all Sun Runners have been mindful of their fundraising goals. I have been a dedicated BC Children’s Hospital Foundation fundraiser. And if this piece or petals impel you to donate on my fundraising page, I would be honoured.

Work Wonders

History may observe an evolutionary trend in homo sapiens post 2020. We have become mask-wearers, social-distancers, hand sanitizer-users, OCD-disinfectors. Perhaps it will end one day. In the interim, however, this is who we have become. This concerns the physical and social aspects of our daily lives.

There is also the monetary aspect of unemployment. Instead of waiting for Indeed or Workopolis to find jobs for them, laid-off employees may go for self-employment. Whether it is a home-spun home-run mask-manufacturing business or a neighborly grocery delivery. We have seen different revenue streams surfacing. It is likely that these new avenues of revenue may survive. As will homo sapiens.

When you have a startup on the horizon, please do contact us - for we have gone through the startup phase and know what it's like. #TrushaDesai.com

Happy '21

There are some moments, some years that remain etched in our memory. Not all birthdays carry significance. The twenty-first birthday may vie with the sixteenth. Or perhaps, the fiftieth.

After 2020, we can all hope that '21 will be a superior year in terms of health, happiness, economic growth, employment and everything else. Let us continue to remain careful in how we interact with friends and family: for social distancing may remain in our vocabulary for a while yet.

We work remotely and can advise and help you in your accounting requirements. #TrushaDesai.com
