need a kitkat!! 🍫



"Have a break, Have a KitKat!" 
I'm not sure if I need a KitKat at the moment but I definitely need a break from all the social media platforms I operate. And why is it so? Well, I need to reconnect with myself. 

I currently find myself at the same point I found myself a couple of years ago the only difference being that this time it is a bit worse. I have started feeling music boring and I have again started procrastinating. And to make matters worse, I feel like things that gave me a sense of joy earlier no longer do that. At that point, someone who I didn't even expect to talk to me helped me through it but now I don't have anyone like that.

As someone who has been extremely superstitious all life, I have tried to do everything possible to make things like were when I was having a good time. Be it fixing my broken clock or doing things in a peculiar order. These two are just two of the 1000s of things I have done and restored to the glory levels.

And despite all this, I still feel like things aren't going my way. I find myself constantly procrastinating on one hand and constantly thinking about achieving great things on the other. For the latter to happen the former must stop and for some reason I haven't been able to do that. Also, I've now made a list of things that I don't like about myself which I'd like to change but I haven't made any progress on that as well.

Why quit social media then when the problem is within me? 
The answer is simple. I keep seeing these stories, reels and statuses of my friends enjoying and having a great time whereas I share none. The only problem I feel is that people share only a single side on their socials especially Instagram. It has become a point of show off of the brighter side of lies while masking the other side. As a normal human, despite trying to convince myself, I fail to accept that these guys too have problems. Anyways, the decision has been made. I have deactivated my Instagram account, logged out of Facebook and reduced the number of people on my WhatsApp feed. Additionally, I've deleted my Reddit account as well.

What am I going to do now? 
I will keep updating my blogs more frequently now maybe on a daily basis and most importantly I will get serious with my studies. If I don't get serious with my studies now, things may not look good for the future. I'm going to script a comeback for the ages!! 
The verse "Tu Jaa.....ab tu bhaag Milkha" from the song Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has been a motivating factor for me and I'm going to use it to my full advantage.

What are my academic targets?
For now, it is easy. Complete the syllabus by the end of this month. At the same time, I'll also try to revise a handful of chapters from all the subjects.

I'm posting this at 07:00 on 13th September 2024. I'll keep updating my blogs daily now.

You'll see my next blog today itself. Till then, bye!! 👋

Mind-Set and Match!

Image
Hey Folks! I'm pretty sure that the few readers I have will be surprised to see another post this quick especially after a few posts earlier this week. This post is about mindset - something central to my formula of success. The title does have a hyphen (-) between 'mind' and 'set' which sure must have intrigued the reader I believe. The hyphen separating the word 'mind-set' is there just to bring a tennis reference. The phrase 'set and match' is commonly used in racket sports and this is a tribute to my love for tennis. As someone whose formula for success has mindset as a key component, I feel I'm in the best possible situation to highlight its importance. I hear a lot of people talk about the importance of mindset and I agree with most of them.  Throughout my educational life, I've always had the mindset of 'I can do this, no pressure' and this has always worked for me. In all the exams I had taken - except my CS Executive exams -...

Day 1 - New Beginnings! ❤️🤗

Image
In the past day, my brain's been on a marathon, sprinting from existential questions to future forecasts. And guess what? I relish this slice of life – a sprinkle of unpredictability with a heap of deep thoughts. Circling back to the crux of the matter, my day's achievements? Well, not a blockbuster day. However, I did blitz through a hefty chunk of planning and devoted the remainder to a desk detox and digital decluttering. Oh, and I broadcasted my subject breakdown and study strategy for the December showdown.   Take a peek at it right here!   ❤️ I've decided to give myself a little more downtime, just a few more days of sweet nothingness before diving headfirst into the thrilling journey of knowledge and reflection. It's been quite the vacation already, a solid 15 days of glorious leisure! 😉 In addition to my planning duties, I dived into the Reddit world to tackle some course-related queries. It's a blast to lend a hand and scoop up some fresh knowledge along t...

Day 3 - Harsha Bhogle-fied 😂

Image
What a moment! What a day! ✨ I know I'm sounding Like Harsha Bhogle because such was the day. I'm generally not a man good at expressing how I feel but today it feels different. A day I've looked forward to over the last couple of months has gone down great. I do not have days like this often where I meet the few people outside my fam with whom I love to spend my time. For how much my friends have done for me, I don't think I'll be able to return it back. 🥰 Among these people, there is always that one person whom when you see, your heartbeats go up, a sense of nervousness arrives coupled with a feeling of being lost. I experienced that today for the first time since 11th March 2023. Undoubtedly this person has been key in me changing for the better over the last two years and perhaps that person might be the sole reason why you're reading this, if anyone is reading this at all. ❣️ Academically nothing much to say about for today because I spent a considerable t...
