CTFxC and Youtube Vlogs

I have been tuned into vlogs and vlogging for some time now, close to 4 years, ever since I watched my first CTFxC video. It was back in 2009 and it was a thumbnail that caught my attention when it came up on the Youtube home screen. It was a vlog from Spain, and had fireworks on it, which made me click on it. And four years on, I have not missed a single vlog.
 It is heartening to follow someone's life so closely, and four years isn't a short period of time. In that time, a lot has happened in my life, and I would say, that I have moved on, but have not gone very far.. Once I subscribed to CTFxC, the Shaytards,PVP and Katers 17 followed. I started watching the others less frequently, but have never missed a CTFxC vlog. They have become my virtual family, even if they do not know me. Watching vlogs have made me Blog regularly, and document my life in words and pictures. Vlogging, has crossed my mind, but I am not confident enough to hold a camera in front of my face, and document myself. And definitely not in public. Before I discovered what vlogs were, I did not realize what youtube was all about. I watched random videos and documentaries, and that was it. Now it is an important part of my day. I log onto Youtube, just after I have checked my emails, and read the news. My day starts after that. :)
 I hope that the CTFxC stays strong, and continues to keep up with the schedule of a video a day, for about a decade or two at least.. Till then,

Hey! I'm Blogging here!

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 ...
