Didnโt expect the birthday special blog to be delayed! But, I guess, a delayed blog is a normal TRB blog ๐๐คฒ
So, last week I turned 23 years old and at this point of time I am not sure if itโs a good or a bad thing ๐ค
More on me turning 23 later in the blog but first
Guess whatโs more important than me turning 23?
This blog turning a year old and not just 1 year in time but also in consistency!
I canโt believe I have been writing every week for a year now!!!
This was supposed to be the 52nd week as per my calculation but itโs 51 not because I missed any particular week but when I started writing the blog I did not have any fixed day in my mind so I used to publish it any day of the week and I think that resulted in me somehow missing out on a week ๐ฐ
But anyway, the next weekโs blog will officially be 1 year anniversary blog because technically I started writing on 24th of June and it isnโt 24th yet so ๐โโโ
Personal Highlights
Did not give a fuck about productivity this week because it was my birthday week๐
And also, because I was busy with the video.
But I still managed to do quite a few of the things.
READING UPDATE
I read every day and I am about to finish โThe secret of Nagasโ. As I write this just the last chapter of the book is left and it will be finished today or tomorrow itself!
Will share review next week along with my future reading plans!
PS: I completed the book hereโs my rough useless review
The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The start of the book was a bit boring to me, but by the end, it got exciting and dramatic ๐
I loved the ending too ๐
Overall I would rate it 3.5/5 for the sloppy first half of the book.
MEDITATION UPDATE
Meditation is finally back! I meditated for like 5 out of 7 days, I guess, not ideal but better than nothing!
FITNESS UPDATE
WORK UPDATE
Did not get any external work this week and guess what that resulted into ๐
Personal Project Updates
Yes, thatโs right I finally finished my meme music mashup video after ages๐ญ
Officially the end of my most delayed video!
I wasnโt very confident about it and so I decided to finish and upload it on my birthday and was somehow able to pull it off.
And it resulted in me getting all positive comments and birthday wishes instead of gaali galoch ๐คญ๐คญ๐คญ
And I can’t explain how good of a decision it was to finish and upload it on my birthday!
I already wrote about it on my Instagram story on my birthday but I will try and rephrase it here
So, I was expecting my birthday to be sad and lonely like last year but the fact that I chose the day to upload my work added new meaning to the day making it 100x more exciting plus making the day quite memorable!
Btw, hereโs the video!
MUSIC MASHUP VOL 3
Thoughts from the past week
On turning 23
Growing up I have always loved the idea of aging and becoming a year older but for the first time in 20 years it’s starting to feel a bit weird now ๐คง
Why does it feel like I am gonna get bombarded with imaginary responsibilities from tomorrow๐ฃ

I want to make this birthday as a new starting point to something about which I will write down below
I wanted to publish a special blog on my birthday something like 23 lessons I have learnt in 23 years, sort of, XD.
But I got busy with the YT video thing and so wasnโt able to write something like that, maybe next year I will write something like that ๐ณ

Book Highlights๐
โJustice exists for the good of the universe. To maintain balance. It does not exist to ignite hatred among humans.
That the opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you donโt care a damn as to what happens to the other person.โ

Memes/Edits from the last week ๐
Here
Whatโs coming?
So now that I am done with the mashup, my life feels a bit empty.
It also feels light because now I donโt have any pending promises ๐
So, whatโs next?
Like I was saying last week I am planning to start a business and it won’t be any passive type of biz but something in which I have to invest a lot of my time and energy actively and for that I cannot keep thinking about my meme page and stuff!
In short, I need to cut the any-benefit approach and focus solely on a few things at hand only.
More about why I am switching was explained in the last-to-last blog, I guess.
I will write more about it in the upcoming blogs.
For now, it’s a good bye for me from memes ๐คง
Goal(s) for the next week ๐ฅ
Make a nice portfolio video showcasing my video editing, also known as a reel but now Instagram has killed the word so, I guess, I should stick with portfolio.
