My world My life

Sep 2022!  This month year would be etched in the history of sports forever! The two GOATS decided to hang their boots from the respective fields. Guess truly can be called the month of retirement, first The Roger Federer and then The Jhulan Goswami! I think everyone already knows Roger, there might be a few who do not know Jhulan. She is the GOAT of Indian Women's Cricket. Been there, representing the country, and a living legend for past 20 years, against 22 years of Roger.   I couldn't watch the last game of Federer, hence, ensured to watch the last series, last match and the final overs of Jhulan today. Wow! what a match and what a feeling it was. A mix bag of feelings, India wining series in England with a clean sweep, with legend bowling for the last time in blue jersey. A perfect way to spend an otherwise dull week.  On personal side, am still struggling with health. Scheduled an appointment with my next doc. This would be the 17th doctor i will be meeting for...

After visiting more than a dozen dentists, and a couple of otolaryngologists, undergoing a procedure, living on medicines and a liquid diet in last one month, loosing a few kilograms, another thing is added to the list - blood pressure shot up to a dangerous level, as a side effect of pain killers (which were as essential as the physiological  needs). Ended up going into emergency, for this BP thing, and  after the dilly dallying's from all the dentists, and listening to all sort of experiments that all these dentists were planning to carry out, finally a GP has diagnosed the problem, and confident enough to start the treatment, accounting for all the side effects of medications.  Keeping fingers crossed for the treatment, thankfully the other vitals in check hence hoping the next update won't be about medics!  

It has been more than a month, that i visited this place, or penned down anything. Actually, have been out of action for past few weeks. So what have i been doing ..specially when am unemployed. Well, nothing. All i have been doing is sleeping, resting, and visiting doctors and medical stores.  Yeah, have been dealing with an uncommon thing for more than two months. Now, at a point, where i can not chew, can not speak much, living on pain killers. Practically, i have been having more medicines than food.  Each day it is a challenge, to figure out how to fill my stomach. All i can do is gulp the food. After all these days, now am tired of having smoothies, or juices, as they do not satiate the hunger.  Have been asking friends who have kids (the little ones), what do they feed them, specially when they do not have teeth or do not know how to chew.  Last few weeks, have been quite knowledgeable. Have learnt so much about chewing and other jaw movements. It makes me won...

"Don't forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy Skies" ~ Paulo Coelho I had always loved sky gazing, not on the starry nights, but more on the days when clouds were around. As a kid, finding different shapes in the clouds was one of the favorite pastime.  When i went to college, pulling out a night out only to witness a sunrise by the riverside used to be my escape from life,  or visiting sea-side to see the beautiful sunsets came in handy when i started working. And now when am not working, or actually unemployed, the beautiful skyline with clouds has been a blessing all together. Every evening, i would sit by the terrace, only to stare at the sky.   In all the cases, one thing was common, the sky full of clouds. Somehow, i always preferred the cloud ones to the clear sky ones. In some ways, it has always been therapeutic.  The floating clouds morphing into different shapes, channelized the wandering ideas into thoughts, some of which eventually developed into pos...

A few weeks back, when i had met an old friend of mine, she suggested some alternate career lines for me, which i can try during my sabbatical. One of them was creating customized itinerary or events based on personality, and individual choices. She seemed to be pretty confident that i could very well read one's vibe and create an experience around it. Though i didn't buy it, and laughed it off, by saying " you can start recommending your friends, and once i start full fledged, i will do the book reading event for your book. " She happens to be a writer/poet who has stopped writing. :(  Today, out of blues, another friend of mine(who doesn't know anything about this), called up asking to suggest things that she could do in the city she was visiting for a business trip. At the first, i was a bit surprised, and she convinced me, saying you have lived there, am sure you know nooks and corner of the city. I was like, i stayed about 5 years back, and post Covid a lot o...

As the post title says, what's your music type? Before one answers this question, let's understand what music type means. Based on some researches, one can define your personality based on what kind of music you tend to listen more. Guess we all already agree, that music can define the mood of the person a lot, or people listen to different kinds or genres of music based on their state of mind or mood.  So the question comes to "Is the type of music you listen to, enough to define your personality?" There have been a lot of research on "How music affects our personality" and "How it can be used to define the personality based on trends". And all these research do agree on the fact that music has its impact on the personality and can help us define someone's personality as well.  Or, we can say, music could be read as signature of a person. For example, pop music lovers tend to be extroverted, honest, and conventional; at the same time, rap love...

Don't be surprised on the title of this post. It is inspired from the song with same lyrics, happens to be on my playlist for almost a decade now. For the ones who have not heard this, you may listen it here .  In the last few weeks (before the sabbatical started), I had started binge watching. I was never into watching dramas, or web series or even movies for that matter. Yeah, am late to the party, nevertheless, it good to be here. What inspired me watching these, firstly i have quite good time on my hands. Secondly, my angel had suggested once, "you need to start reading romance".  And i did give it a shot at that time, but couldn't read much in that genre.  Second attempt took me to watching some famous international series, suggested by younger brother. He had somehow managed to figure out, what would i like, and was very confident while suggesting. In his words, "You should start watching CLOY, you would love it!" And it was his confidence that made me...
