Inking My Life on Paper

Wow! I realised what not to do. Hello Everyone, I hope you're doing amazing and keeping well! Today marks the 14th day of my blogging journey, and it has indeed been a great experience reflecting on my entire day and introspecting on the activities I perform. It’s like stopping to see how I can improve. Today, I realized that sometimes, as an individual, if I deviate from my usual saatvik trajectory, I tend to continue doing what I love but then suddenly change direction to return to an ideal saatvik life. During those days, little foreign foods or thoughts act as catalysts, helping me realize that I am in a revolutionary and evolutionary phase to correct myself. I remind myself to forget these instances and try to reduce their occurrence in the future. Smile leaves a radiance you can't find elsewhere Similar situations occurred when I had vada pav and tea, then panipuri, and then so much oily and spicy chicken biryani with not-so-good potatoes, which tasted really ba...

Divine feeling at Reiki center today Hey lovely peeps, How are you doing? Today is my 13th day of the journaling challenge! I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone. I remember how I wasn't moving my hands, legs, and body for a few months and hadn't been feeling good since then. The moment I started journaling, I realized that I am reflecting on myself every day. My energy is aligning with a master spiritual energy, and I feel much more fulfilled. Today, my day started with consuming lukewarm cardamom and lemon water in Malasana pose. After freshening up, I went to the balcony to enjoy the rejuvenating morning sunshine and cold breeze and prayed for this beautiful day. Then, I did my face cleansing routine, applied moisturizer, ate a banana, and went to Gold’s Gym. I trained on legs and was literally exhausted after just 25 minutes of rigorous exercise. Then, I headed straight to breakfast where I had poha and tea. After that, I drank a glass of wat...

Hello people, Hope you're doing amazing today. Today, I woke up late at 9 AM because I wasn't feeling well due to inadequate sleep. As a result, I decided to cancel all my fitness class slots for the day. I had my final VIVA test for Snowflake Core Certification today, and it went pretty well, although there is still room for improvement. I need to take it more seriously, which I am committed to doing. My day started with drinking lukewarm water with lemon and dalchini powder in Malasana pose. Then, I freshened up and had a shake made of banana, chia seeds, curd, and almonds. After that, I continued working, but by the evening, I realized I was too tired to continue, so I skipped my fitness classes. Around 2 PM, I had a regular meal. Suddenly, I realized my helmet was missing. I got anxious, wondering where I had left it. I then remembered I might have left it at the restaurant Masoli, where I had dinner yesterday. I went there, and the manager kindly returned my helm...

I got some nice moves and food Hello everyone, I hope you all are blessed and happy today! Today, I am very tired as I have been sleeping for less than five hours these days due to hectic yoga and dance classes. However, sleep should not be compromised as it can adversely affect our health. I am planning to go to class tomorrow at 8 AM so that I can sleep properly tonight. My day started with consuming soaked seeds, almonds, and a banana. Then, I went for my morning yoga class, followed by a breakfast of poha and tea. I came back home, took a rest for a while, and then swept the entire floor, cleaned the kitchen and washroom, mopped the floor, folded the clothes, and cleaned the utensils. My friend also arrived at my flat, and we worked together on a few assignments before ordering chicken biryani. I had half of it, and in the evening, we went for tea. Once he left the flat, I worked on some personal projects and did some mentorship for my clients. For those who don't kn...

Twist in Dentistry Appointment  27th May 2024 | 10:37 PM Hello people, Hope you're doing amazing today! I know many of us perceive Monday as an anxiety-inducing day, but it's just a small portion of life. Instead of worrying, we can thoroughly enjoy the day by doing our work and gifting ourselves or our loved ones the best things we wish for. Today, I got up at 5:30 am, took a bath, consumed soaked chia seeds and two bananas, then packed all my yoga gear and drove to the center. It was another Evolve yoga session. After the session, I had the same Poha and tea for breakfast. I had a dentist appointment today. The doctor identified a few things that needed to be done. However, due to some issues with my corporate balance, I had to leave after just the initial consultation. On my way home, I had egg curry and two rotis for lunch because I was insanely hungry and couldn't wait to eat at home. I regretted it for a minute but then consoled myself. I also went to Gold...

Hello, my loveliest peeps, I hope you're doing amazing! Evening time before dance class Today, my morning didn't start with cycling but with yoga instead. I had soaked almonds, chia seeds, and warm water with ajwain in the morning. Then, I did some basic morning exercises at home before heading to yoga class, and I also had a banana. I went to the class and performed different versions of Evolve Yoga asanas. Afterward, I had breakfast of poha and tea from outside. I came back home, rested a bit, then prepared oats with mixed veggies for lunch, and took another rest. Morning breakfast I didn't want to waste my weekend, so I tried to book another slot for a dance session today. Before attending the class, I had water, brought a towel, dancing shoes, and had a banana before the workout. After leaving the class at 8 PM, I decided to have dinner at a good food outlet. I had normal rice, dal, roti, and sabjis. Then, I went to my friend's home for some conversation...

Hello my loveliest readers, I hope you're doing well! Start of the day with a refreshing ride It's a new day, and my day started at 5 am. After refreshing myself and taking a bath, I had chia seeds and almonds for breakfast. Then, I headed to Cult Fitness for my first-ever ride to Taljai Tekdi Mandir, located 17 km from my place. The whole cycling squad of around 10 people greeted each other, and we headed towards our destination. For the last 30 minutes, the road was highly elevated, and I almost gave up. The trainer suggested that I should take a break, but a few pro cyclists boosted my enthusiasm, and finally, we reached our destination. Reached the destination with the cycling squad I had red lemon tea in the morning, which was quite refreshing. My mood was elevated knowing my digestion and exercise were in sync, and I was properly hydrated. After that, we had a cool-down exercise and took some photographs. C...

Hello, my loveliest peeps, I am journaling early today because I have good news to share. However, you'll need to read through to the end for the reveal. Today, my day started at 11 am IST. I prepared buns and butter for breakfast, read a few pages of my book, and reflected on how household chores and office work are keeping me from going out. This has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health. It's often said that unbalanced chakras or energy blockages can cause such issues. Around 3-4 pm, I decided to cook something. I soaked dal and rice, added soya chunks, and put everything in a cooker for 7-8 whistles. Meanwhile, I mashed potatoes with tomato and garlic for a chokha recipe, fried some papad, and served the khichdi with dahi and achar. The good news is that I completed both the hydration challenge and the journaling challenge. Additionally, I started a fitness class today and attended the Evolve yoga session. It was great ...

It is 2:44 AM. My body is lying on the bed inside a locked room in a 33-story high-rise building, and I'm with my soul and skin intact, trying to figure out what my little brain is thinking. It's a thought or a line of thinking described in Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, or perhaps it's the 1st or 2nd system defined by Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow . I'm not entirely sure, but at this moment, I could have slept. Instead, my little brain is racing at high speed. You might wonder what all this nonsense is, but yes, it does happen. It showers a warm wave of heat onto my heated skin, bringing me to misery. Is it a problem with my brain, or is there some energy surrounding me, or maybe inside me, that induces these thoughts? Is it this energy that calls my brain to think, crave, and dig up the buried soul? The soul, which I buried in some unidentified area within me, gets unearthed by my brain, prompted...

My Blog Hello my loveliest people, How are you enjoying your life? We have been gifted with life, so are we enjoying it to the fullest or living in miseries? I think I am enjoying it, but not to the fullest. However, I am on a journey to make it worthwhile. I sometimes imagine myself going on a solo tour with my bike (I feel like purchasing a Royal Enfield) so that I can travel and work (currently, my work is remote). I think I can easily do it, but something stops me. I believe it is my inertia of staying in this cocoon life, which doesn't let me come out of it. Although I am pretty sure that it will give me a new perspective on life, I can imagine going on a solo trip, packing all my bags, leaving the city early in the morning, taking a halt midway for a very healthy breakfast, and then eating a sattvic lunch in a village. I would take photos and write in my journal to reflect on how my day...

My Daily Blog Hello my dear loveliest peeps, Hope you're doing great, safe, and sound. Today is the 6th day of my blog, and as you know, this challenge lasts for 21 days. I got up late this morning, around 9:30 AM, and had 7 almonds which I soaked last night. I started my day by drinking lots of water and preparing food for lunch. I did not have any breakfast as I was quite busy with office meetings. self-cooked For lunch, I had bhindi-baingan-tomato ki sabji and cabbage fry. I also prepared 3 parathas and had them for lunch. Afterward, I resumed reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. He mentioned a few things such as Add-1 and Add-3 tasks. I am still watching other videos to understand these concepts. I am not able to fully grasp what he wants to convey. The only thing I understand is that using multiple...

Hello, my lovely readers, I am grateful today for my life, the work that I do, the food, clothes, and shelter I am blessed with, and for being surrounded by people who are genuine and think well of me. Today, I started the day by having lunch out and didn’t cook anything due to laziness. I couldn't get productive today. I did some office work and then went out and had two plates of panipuri and a glass of sugarcane juice. Although I know these aren't great for my gut, I am trying to be more mindful as the day progresses. The book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" is really captivating. I am currently understanding the cognitive illusions created by our mind's first system. There are many topics I have covered, and they resonate with me. Now, I understand the 'why' behind my actions. After completing this post, I will read a few more pages of that book and then go to sleep. I know there isn't much interesting to share, but keep an eye on my blog. I a...

Hello everyone, Today, I listened to a very insightful line that I wanted to share: It was from coach Tannaz Irani about setting your frequency to a higher level in conjunction with the highest divine power. It was a seriously good session on NLP. I came to understand another powerful statement: “You will never meet the same person twice,” and also how people are incapable of being emotionally present, which creates tensions. She also discussed ‘Analysis Paralysis.’ These were all things I did in the evening after 8 pm. However, today I woke up late, around 9:30 am, and instead of having breakfast, I started with tea. I began checking emails and solving mock papers for the Snowflake certification. As work progressed, I took time to cook rice and baingan-bhindi-aloo ki sabji. I had a session booked with Urban Company for a pedicure, neck and face de-tan, and neck, head, and shoulder massage therapy. After which, I took a bath and cleaned the room. However, due to the workshop, I couldn...

Today, I woke up really late. The reason was that I went to bed very late last night because I was talking with friends on a video call. Today was Sunday, and I spent my time cooking rice and aloo soyabean for lunch. I also ate three rotis and mustard potol sabji because I like Bengali food. I am currently reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, and it is really a good book. Today, I didn't go outside, and I can summarize my day as cooking, cleaning utensils, bathing, and reading books. I need to wake up early tomorrow to perform some morning rituals, exercise, and prepare food before work starts. Goodbye. Vivek

Hello to whoever has reached this blog, My name is Vivek, and I know a few things about data engineering, which is how I earn my living. When I was a child, I wanted to become a pilot, but during my early schooling days in 6th or 7th grade, I used to hack my father's computer and play games in safe mode with my brother. Although I was never a pro game player and my brother had the patience and skill to crack the missions, I always stood by his side to encourage him. I was more interested in planning things and planned to pursuing a career as a software developer in the future. Today, I am renting a 1 BHK flat, living solo, and fulfilling my dreams by God's grace. I cook food myself, clean the utensils, mop the floor, arrange my clothes, and wash them. I have not employed anyone for household and cooking jobs because my work-from-home setting allows me to learn and practice the art of self-management. Staying alone can be difficult at times when social connections are...

Hello everyone, This morning, I woke up intending to go to the gym, but I couldn't move my body and fell asleep again. I woke up directly at 9:30 am IST and got myself freshened up. I went to the kitchen and had two packets of Yipee noodles and two packets of Maggi, and then I brushed my teeth. It's a bit annoying to admit, but that's how my morning went. I started working for the office and then began cooking chhole and paneer. In the afternoon, I had paneer and chhole, which I kept consuming until the evening. In the evening, I took a break, had a bath, and went to the gym. I spent 45 minutes exercising: treadmill, some stretching, and lifting dumbbells. I came back to my room, listened to some meditation songs, and took a 10-minute nap. Then I took another bath, put on a new T-shirt and jeans, and went to have tea with my friend. We spent an hour talking, and then I went to his flat, where I started discussing how an ideal vacation can be enjoyed on a solo trip. ...
