Hosur Visit

I headed to Hosur on sunday morning, and after much confusion, reached there just before lunchtime. It's a tiny place, and not many people live there, and it was good to be somewhere away from Bangalore for a change. It had been over a year. Me and my father had simple lunch, and did some paltry shopping at the local "Megamart", and talked about a lot of things. It's a really tiny place, and a quiet one as well, and my father's new home, is bang opposite the local railway station. Evening set in, and we went to the station, and sat around for a bit. Nothing much happened, and I was quite bored by the end of the day because of a weak internet connection, that kept going off.
The new bed that was ordered came in, and after much tossing and turning I finally fell asleep.
I woke up today, Monday, at 5 AM, made breakfast after a long long time, and went to the station to beard the train the Bangalore Central. It was an awesome journey, I must mention, and it was pretty refreshing with the cold breeze and the rural scenery flashing by. And oh, I had my new jacket on, and was feeling snug and warm. It took about one and a half hours to reach Bangalore, as there was a traffic jam on the tracks! But it was a lovely journey, and one I will remember for a long long time.

Panchayat Season 4: A Disappointing Departure from Its Roots

Image
As one of the millions of ardent fans eagerly awaiting its arrival, I settled in yesterday to watch the fourth season of "Panchayat." The show initially unfolded in the familiar, comforting rhythm that viewers have come to love over the years. However, this sense of familiarity quickly faded, giving way to something surprisingly uninteresting. The primary issue lies in the storyline, which seemed to veer almost exclusively towards the upcoming panchayat election. This singular focus, while central to the village's narrative, unfortunately overshadowed everything else. What made "Panchayat" so captivating in its previous seasons was the charming interplay of its characters and their distinct individualities. In season four, it felt as though all the characters, in service of this election-centric plot, lost their spark. Their curated complexities and inherent cheekiness, once a highlight of the show, seemed to have vanished. It was genuinely disappoin...

A Day to Remember: Friends, F1, and Fantastic Food!

Image
It had been a year since my last get-together with my two friends, and we were all buzzing with anticipation for this meetup. The occasion felt even more special because Sahil, one of our trio, will soon be leaving Bangalore. This was likely our last chance to meet for a while, making every moment count. Racing into Cinema at Shankar Nag Theatre Our first stop was the legendary Shankar Nag theatre on MG Road, Bangalore. Having lived in Bangalore for 19 years, I've visited this iconic movie hall a few times, and it never disappoints. We were there to watch the much-talked-about F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, was a promising high-octane action movie and was a glimpse into the world of Formula 1 racing. The movie was indeed a great watch. While there were a few moments in the middle that felt like a stretch, perhaps to force a subplot, the ending was both powerful and inspirational.  It's amazing how often movies hold up a mirror to life's realities, offering us mome...

Reclaiming My Focus: A Journey Away From Mindless Scrolling

Image
Today marks a significant shift in my life. I've committed to a new path: stepping away from social media's endless scroll. Specifically, I'm aiming to completely stop accessing platforms like Instagram and YouTube for casual browsing. It's been an eye-opener to realize just how ingrained this habit has become – almost automatically, my fingers would open these apps, leading me down a rabbit hole of random content for what felt like an endless amount of time. There was no real stop point, no trigger to pull me away. This realization prompted me to dig deeper. I turned to AI apps, curious about the potential links between social media scrolling, anxiety, and other detrimental factors. The results were, frankly, jaw-dropping. My intuition was correct. This pervasive scrolling was already rewiring my brain and having a multitude of negative effects, which in turn were harming my performance in my business. The Unseen Impacts of Prolonged Social Media Scrolling ...
