Vani Kola celebrates Hobbit Day, remembers lessons from Bilbo & Frodo in JRR Tolkien's fantasy novel

Today is International Hobbit Day, Vani Kola is spending it in the best way possible.

The Kalaari Capital Managing Director is remembering life lessons by fictional characters - Bilbo Baggins and Frodo - from English author JRR Tolkien's 1937 fantasy novel 'The Hobbit, or There and Back Again'.

On Wednesday, the 57-year-old investor said that it's the birthday of two of the most inspirational and lovable characters by Tolkien, according to the Shire calendar. "Bilbo in the year 2890 and Frodo in 2968 of the Third Age," she wrote.



In a three-part Twitter series, Kola said that the hobbits make her ponder on a lot of profound lessons that were shared in the children's novel.

On the top of the list was, "Where does courage come from in times of crisis?"

Adding to the list, the venture capitalist wrote in her caption, "A pure heart is the best shield against evil," and "Temptation and greed is the downfall of the mightiest."


She also pointed out that cherishing the simpler things in life like a nice garden or a tea break are of utmost importance.

Kola also said that true friendship, like Bilbo and Frodo, can help people face every challenge in life.

And last, but not the least, "Curiosity to get out of comfort zone is a good thing, even for a Hobbit," her post read.
