This blog marks the 2 year anniversary of writing consistently online every week, consistency which might soon break if I continue delaying my blog like this π
Personal Highlights
The only thing that sucked about the week was me procrastinating and delaying my birthday blog. It made me feel bad about my writing consistency and at one point I was even thinking about taking a break from my weekly blogs but after thinking for a bit longer I decided to take a break from social media instead π€
Fitness
First week with the Galaxy watch 4 [Thanks Yash π]
-
Gym
Finally back to working out in full form, and working out after a short break is easier than running because VO2 max depletes faster than muscle strength π·
Enough about myself, time for me to write about the watch β
Galaxy Watch 4 Fitness Review
Well I love the new watch but it obviously doesn’t make working out any easy, but sure makes me feel good about tracking because I am into that π
Would I recommend it?
Only if you are into capitalism XD.
If not then any cheaper smartwatch is as good as this in terms of auto-tracking workout [Not manual] because heart rate is the thing that needs vigilant tracking.
However, if you want to enjoy all the other awesome features of this smartwatch then well you will have to spend good or get a friend like Yash π

Reading:
I think I forgot to mention the Ravana book last week, so it’s basically a comic book story is taken from Valmiki’s writing of the Ramayana and as the title suggests itβs on Ravana.
I got this on my birthday from an IRL friend [I chose it from Crossword XD]
Been reading it since last week slowly and I love the art style of the book if not the writing.
The writing makes it feel like a normal fiction book and not a comic :(
But overall its a nice addition to my collection
Job Update
Bichara thiccardo XD
I have some high-level thoughts on the management team of our client[Client of the company where I work at] but I will prefer not to say it here or anywhere because they wouldn’t listen π
Thoughts on taking a social media detoxπ€
So I did something which I have been wanting to do for a while and that is: I logged out of and uninstalled all social media apps.
Yes, itβs that time of the year again when I do a social media detox, and I think it has been over a year since I did my last detox.
Usually, I do it for 7 days but this time I am planning to do it for at least 14 days.
By the way, it isn’t a random detox like it usually is, this time it’s a more deliberate detox and even has a purpose behind it.
The purpose is I want to think about my career [sort of]
It is sort of a big and obvious thing but I haven’t been getting the time to think about it lately, and one suspect that is behind it is social media, every time I get bored I just open the app and that is what I suspect has been eating up my time and energy.
And with no social media, I will be forced to think and write more about what I want to be doing with my life in the coming months (besides my job).
Job is my number one priority but my number two priority at the moment is nothing which makes me feel weird at times I don’t know why maybe I will know it too once I start journaling more in my free time.
Opinions π£οΈ
God knew I would be too powerful if I prayed, so he made me an atheist.

I installed @ZestMoney last year to test how the app works. I got a credit limit of 20,000 Rupees. After a few months, I ordered a TV worth 11,999 INR on Flipkart using ZestMoney and paid all the EMIs on time pic.twitter.com/yf4ZxCHvoc

Movies π₯
3 Idiots
I rewatched this movie after many years and as much as I can point out the differences between the movie and real life, I don’t think its worth pointing out.
As far as I know, this was the first movie that made the idea of following your passion mainstream and for that this has a special place in my heart, even if following your passion isn’t the right move always but itβs still better than making no progress in something you have no interest in.
Series πΊ
Boys S3E6
Herogasm is for sure the best episode of the boys so far.
I re-watched the climax more times than I have watched anything remotely related to a web series.
It was just so good and satisfying.
App π±
I watched a best chrome extension video and realized I already have/ Know about the mentioned extensions already πΆβπ«οΈ

I am really excited and looking forward to this detox as I see this as getting free time for sacrificing not being in the loop.
