Reached Srinagar | Flight delayed | ATM card stopped working | Phone number stopped working | Biometrics locked | 4th July 2024 | 11:23 pm

Hello Everyone, 

Hope you're amazing. 

I got up early to catch the bus from Swargate and then from Mumbai walked 2 kms footstep to reach Domestic airport and then currently in Srinagar. 

I met a person on flight and got some gist about the place and he was coming from Saudi Arabia and he seemed to be much helpful. 

Upon reaching the Srinagar, I couldn't get a sim from J&K since my biometrics was locked and I can't get an OTP since it is out of coverage area. 
The shopkeeper told me to get a new sim from City. 

The problem doesn't stop till this point because my ATM card didn't work as well and I had not even 100₹ cash with me and it was night, a stranger in the city and whom to ask? 

I requested the military personnel and he told me to go to other ATM, I tried to withdraw 5500₹ and the money didn't come out then I tried with 2500₹ still no response. 

I felt unsecure what if the money has been withdrawn but it's not coming from machine that means I won't even know because my sim has stopped and there is no internet. 

I went back to military personnel asking for help and he helped me with his WIFI and then I could connect but unfortunately I wasn't able to login to ICICI application to understand whether there is a withdrawal or not, I wasn't even sure if it will even work online or not. 

It meant I had no internet, no sim, no money, no UPI. 

The military personnel gave me 5000₹ and I was really happy yet felt weird what if the Phonepe won't work? 

I still tried and it worked and then transferred him the money. 

Now I know there are a lot of scams in J&K especially with the tourists and for dropping me to hostel it charged 900₹ but I have him knowing that it's late night and I can't do anything. 


Upon reaching here, I talked with one of the hostellers and order through zomato since the restaurant in the hostelnwas closed. 

Now after dinner, I feel tired and I need to sleep to get up for a new sim card and travel nearby areas. 

Keep an eye on my next Blogs, Stay tuned. 

Namo buddhay! 
Vivek

This is not what I am but -

Note - This is not written here to justify the correctness of grammar or providing the content to the readers but a reflection to myself. I'm growing up at every passing second. I'm fighting for something at every passing second. The fight is for shine. The fight is for respect and money. The fight is for intellectuals. Leaving behind the gentle arc of my innocence, trust for the people and various other things. I'll grown up seeing my inner self struggling, feeling shameful, abandoned, insulted, beaten,cheated, rejected and what not. But this is not what looks like - because my inner self has dreamt of not seeing the world like that , the versions that I create, the subjective dreams that I set were disposed off. Growing up that I've learnt that life is not a straight path from A to B, but it has several A1,A2 or maybe A1.1.1 nobody knows. But that's okay. Because of what I have been made to feel is not what I am. I am a power born to create, lead and stand. I am a

Outbursting thoughts | Part-1

-
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

Hello People, Hope you're amazing! I have not started any of my challenges except soaking the almonds today. The day passed quickly, and I slept most of the time. I am yet to get back on track.
