cranking up the big brother energy⚡💪



On a normal day which are most days, I'm generally strict and hard taskmaster. I come across as someone who likes to keep things moving and not remain static. But one a few days, by few I mean extremely few, I tend to shed that layer and keep a complete 180 nature. The only reason why I'm telling this and in fact publishing this blog is because today was one of such days. For a more relatable nature of mine, you can imagine a 'khadoos' Maths teacher. 🥸😠

Today I was a complete 180 of my normal self. Tuning up the big brother energy a couple of times to support my younger brother and a junior of mine from school. The reason why my brother needed me was because guy scored average marks in Maths and was feeling pretty bad about it. I had a good talk with him but still didn't see things improving. So, I had to do something else. I just put my arm around his shoulder and took the little guy for a walk. And maybe as a thank you gesture, little guy said thank you. That definitely felt great given the fact that I have always been a bit too harsh on him. 😊

The other case was me turning up and showing support for a junior of mine. I had not contacted her for the last 5 months as she was busy and today suddenly, I received her call. The trembling voice at the beginning made it clear that things weren't alright with her. Had a good talk of about 30 minutes. Maybe I found a way to help with my nervousness and overthinking as well. I, generally, prefer not to talk a lot these days. When someone says that they feel better talking to someone whom they feel is trustable, it is always a great feeling. To me, it becomes a symbol of being a successful senior. I have always been open to helping and guiding people in every possible way and to do it today feels amazing. 😊

Anyways, it feels great to help people in this manner because I feel mental health and things around mental health aren't talked about enough. To be able to guide the younger people and be that big brother💪⚡ feels wonderful. Hopefully this changes. As we move more and more towards modernization, we should be open about the mental spaces we are in and remove the stigma that is generally connected around it. In case you have any issues, do drop it here and I'll try my best to guide you through it.  ❤️‍🩹💝

Stay loved! 💜

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...
