7 years, 4 months, 8 days later in the middle of the pandemic

My resume claims I blog, um so opened my blog and oh I didn't post since 2014. Definitely something I can pick up while Im locked down. I wonder why I stopped blogging and after a deep retrospective, it hit me "Aha" back then facebook was not a place where you shit post your thoughts, so "You needed a blog." 

 Soooooo hows life been ever since? I got married, did a butt load of traveling, started reading philosophy, Oh Oh and started a travel music video page, will definitely spam about all that soon. Right now lets focus on the pandemic. I hope we survive this, I hope we rise strong. But once we do that how do we NOT lose our minds????? Heres some thoughts I collected 


Be the good samaritan -  It has been more than a year, the pandemic has locked us down along with that it has locked a significant amount of the economy. Many have lost jobs, many are taking home less, many are having to spend more to eat the same amount of bread and many are having to just wait for resources and have nothing available. If you are someone who is still economically sound, help out. You don't need to go out of your way and hand out money. You can do things like continuing to pay your maid/cook/gardener/help even if they cant come, or even small help like not bargaining with vegetable vendor, helping small shops survive, donating small amounts when ever possible to aids for suffering family. If you ever wanted to do good this is the time, this is where you feed your inner con


Stop spreading darkness - We are so quick in sharing news of death and suffering without validating. The national/international media is shamelessly doing that for TRP, but you are a modal conscious entity why are you doing that? What are you going to get out of terrorising someone. If you have a news that helps do share, if you have a news thats only going to cause confusion or chaos just drop it. We already have a lot of pain, pressure, depression, anxiety and suffering. We do not want any more. 


Explore your self -  We have always wondered what would we do if we had more time, if we could have flexible hours, if we spent more time with family, if we could live without worrying about traffic,  if we had time for workout...Well all those "if"s are now answered and most of us(including me) are doing nothing about it. We could be making the best of it but we are making excuses and cursing those who are using the time properly. Lets stop doing that. Let me promise to myself a few things that i would do 

1) Read something daily(physical book)

2) Meditate daily

3) Workout daily (If not to rip my body, at least to stay fit)

4) Start a hobby (or just engage in something new)

5) Spend quality time with family

6) Eat healthy ( more like less unhealthy, try*)

Facebookaholic

I turned on my laptop. Even before the desktop loaded, I clicked on the browser icon, I couldn't wait till i could click on the Facebook.com short cut on the user tab, it turned on with my password saved; I hit enter fast, like a chat ninja. There was I. In front of a huge number of notifications, which slowly i opened one by one. I liked a few random pics even if I thought it were stupid, then a few status messages which I dint even read fully, then a few app request without wondering "Why would some one even like a app request?" and then drop a few comments hopefully, hopeless. Then like my own comments even if it had just a little essence of humor, then randomly read a few other comments, and like the rest. Then comes the crucial decision making part when I need to choose a pic of mine and change my DP again. Update a status. Like it. I would even like the like button if it were feasible. Read a few messages often spam, then reply with equally meaningful conte

MY dear regular blog readers dont take me wrong I never had an intention to write a blog post on marriages, but then I got this mail from indiblogger forum  that there is a competition on blog post entries where  3 winning posts get Kindle Fires and lots more goodies to win as prize for the title Love marriage or arrange marriage? Honestly speaking marriages are social menace, the second stupidest thing man ever invented after GOD of course BUT then here it goes And since its 32 years past 1980 so I wanted my blog post to not look like an arts college freshman year debate from 1980 and so I added some real recent happenings !! Arranged Marriage : Well all your life you are taught not to speak to a stranger and suddenly  your asked to sleep with one and live rest of your life. [If your still considering I was complaining by the previous line, you can stop reading you are too old for this go read news paper]. Well but sad truth is no trials here, and of course no replacement o

Well lets review one by one. 1) Heels Theres a saying a true gentleman is some one who gives his shoes to her and carries her "heels",  I mean WTF?(now if ur wondering whats wrong in that, please read the Disclaimer again).
