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.
