    Some laughters and life lessons worth hearing…

    What podcasts are you listening to?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well there aren’t many podcasts that I’m in these days but there are a few that bless my ears…

    One of the podcasts that I used to listen to was “Violating community guidelines” by Sarah Schauer and Brittany Broski;

    I know weird names but they complimented each other and the funny instances on their podcasts were so hilarious that I often laughed out while working making people think that I’ve gone crazy 🤪..

    48 episodes discussing the trends on the social media and what went on during the year 2022 and the end of it,

    Started in January of ‘22 ending in December of the same year, Ive found myself to go back to it year after year and boost my mood and give me laugh whenever life pins me down…

    These days I’m invested in a podcast called Alan watts daily wisdom and yes they’re sharing the timeless teachings of the philosopher Alan watts through ai in his voice to all the world to listen and view too…

    Started a month ago and 24 videos in gathering a whopping 108k followers as we speak (on yt) I’ve found it very helpful and informative by giving me insight to live this life better in ways that are often overlooked…

    Hope you will find these worth your while…

    Cheers 🥂

    Life saving advices to cut screen time…

    How do you manage screen time for yourself?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I’m pretty sure most of the world is suffering with this disease of a very long screen time, hooked on Instagram reels, YouTube shorts and videos, clips on TikTok and many more…

    Time seem to pass by so quickly when we are hooked on them that it feels unreal;

    You started watching them at 10 at night and suddenly it’s 1:30 before you can see the time on the phone which was there all the time…

    There are a lot of things that I use to achieve my goal of reducing screen time a few of them are->

    • Having a separate phone for doing writing without any distractions so that I can focus when otherwise I would find a way to stop writing and doom-scroll Instagram..
    • Tracking screen time on both my phones just to keep in touch with how much I used a single app and how much I need to cut back…
    • Presetting a timer on each app which I use a lot for example I set a timer for an hour on Instagram which is a lot less from 4-5 hours which used to happen without knowing…
    • Trying to avoid using phones for the first few hours I usually wake up and pen my ideas or any dreams that I had, which makes all of it interesting as it boosts my writing skills and also imaginative skills which help me remember what happened in my dream world…
    • And at last, I keep my phones a bit away from me like for charging away from me when I have free time so I’d have to walk to it to get it as I’m on my bed, which cuts the interest in getting up and grabbing it a bit more…

    The last one is a big mind thing I know…😭😂

    And I hope these works for someone in need…

    Cheers 🥂

    What are your favorite websites?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well this question is a curveball, my favourite websites, the answer to this question has changed so much in such a short time that even I cannot fathom the change when I look back at it…

    Earlier when there weren’t any streaming services and we had to watch movies/videos, only thing available was a shabby copy of it online, sometimes a torrent file other times a website whose name isn’t coming to mind right now but those were the good old days;

    Nowadays they’re replaced by Netflix prime Hulu and whatnot, leeching money away from us slowly and steadily…

    These days the media that we consume is replaced by shorts i.e. YouTube and Instagram (YT shorts and reels) being one of the most easily consumed short length media which effectively eats up all the time until you remember to look away from the screen and it’s 2 am in the morning and you have work at 9:30 😭…

    Even I watch some anime there’s a website called Animekai it’s a bit tricky to operate a little slow but when you get a hang of it it feels like the world has brought it to you firsthand…

    For writing this is the app that I prefer WordPress where I can freely write what I feel to my content and call them truly my own,

    I’ve had my series of problems, content deleted without notification, a few apps shutdown so I had to scramble to get all of my stuff copied because they wouldn’t give me an official copy when needed, but still there’s no hatred in mind for no one…

    And this place is what I call my own where I can truly be who and what I like to be…

    For music I use

    YTmusic(YouTube music for short),

    A single subscription for my family allows me to use it and I use it to my full content because I love to listen to music no matter the borders that we are bound in by the people…

    With that being said this post comes to an end,

    I hope your Sunday goes well and the coming week is a bit soft on you…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Chaos to Clarity: My Writing Journey and Productivity

    Daily writing prompt
    When do you feel most productive?
    View all responses

    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    The prompt of this day,
    forced me to think the duality of the life I am living…

    One where I manage and run a business,
    another one where I do all of this writing,
    it has been a chaotic mix of feeling thing and tirelessly working my b|_|tt off..

    All of us know that living two lives within these 24 hours isn’t possible but we all have to manage right…?

    The most productive I am during work is the afternoon hours,
    i.e. 12 pm to 3 pm,
    but,
    it’s the exact opposite for this writing between 12 am to 3 am;(IST)

    Waking up early to set things in order,
    and then working on them including this blog,
    and Instagram post before I have to leave for work,
    the fine line between night and day blemishes,
    and for weeks it feels like I haven’t taken a day off,
    but,
    the show must go on…

    So,
    I think you get a gist of the type of broken schedule I live on,
    necessarily the dependent on caffeine is hard and takes a toll on this mind and body too…

    But,
    both parts of my life requires different strengths,
    different capabilities,
    very drastic shifts in focus,
    and,
    with that I need to have a very cool, calm and a composed mind…

    But,
    from the chaos that I’m in,
    generates a world so vivid and well versed,
    that it feels almost surreal..

    And,
    this is the type of blessing I seeked all along,
    to live a vivid, beautiful life with,
    hard work too so i can get a good nights sleep…

    Cheers 🥂

    That’s how I am staring at nothingness some of these days…

  • Best Hidden Gems for Delicious Food in Delhi…

    What is your favorite restaurant?

    Hey,
    i hope you all are doing good;

    Um,
    my favorite restaurant?
    I’m not that expensive or bent over for a fact that i have an expensive restaurant on my list but,
    trying and finding those who make good food at a rate that is not dirt cheap that you have to question their ways…

    One of the okay-Ish one is this place where they make affordable Asian food,
    (specifically Chinese)
    and their rolls are worth dying for,
    they have been in business for more than 20 years and they still serve customers till date…

    (Do you think its a good place if their food runs out faster than they can fill it back up again…?)

    One of the middle quality ones is located in a posh locality,
    literally on Lodhi road…
    (i guess you got the clue)
    Their essence is hidden by a big building and tall structures so most of the people don’t even know that this place exists…

    They serve a variety of cuisine from Chinese to south Indian
    (Also everything in the middle..)
    They have a vast variety of breads cakes pastries and
    their coffee>>> worth dying for with their New York cheesecake…
    (UFF i have my mouth watering this early…)

    Have yet to find a good high end one that lives upto their name,
    the go to ones are
    Kwality in cp for their iconic dishes and their ambiance;
    for coffee you’ll find me at devan’s (lodhi colony🤍);
    louis for their burger…(Its a cloud kitchen so i prefer delivery of it over anything)

    And to many more that I’m forgetting;

    Cheers 🥂

    Had a really Good evening yesterday, The chai that broke all the tiredness that I had last evening after leaving work after a tedious 12+ hour shift; just this one(or two cups) that gave me a new will to live…
