Someday, I’ll pack a telescope in a Range-Rover, and head on to a village. I’ll show the Moon, the Saturn with its ring, the Jupiter with its moons, the Red Mars, the Nebulae, and the Galaxies to the village people.
They will see the Cosmos, and I will watch them smile…
Here’s me peaking at 186 beats per minute! Isn’t this AWESOME…!
The reds are my training sets and the in-between oranges are my rests. The Reds around 6:30 mark are my Deadlift reds.
Today, I want to share my new year resolution for 2020.
Out of the whole day and night cycle, out of the 24 hours, I’ll spend my time for the things below, uncompromisingly.
5 hours – Reading. Books & important articles (No internet surfing, or drift reading on internet).
1 hour – Workout/Walking & Mobility Exercises. Alternate days.
1 hour – Meditation (45 mins + 15 mins preparation and after glow).
9 hours – Sleep. I am a long sleeper. To recover best from workouts, I will sleep 9 hours daily, uninterrupted.
*For the above 16 hours, my phone will always be on DND.
‘Total Immersion’ is the name of the game.
1 more hour – 10 hours of sleep instead of 9 hours as said above. Depends.
1 more hour – Reading, more.
1 hour – Gaming. It helps me relax.
1 hour – Intentional internet drifting.
1 hour – Watching TV series or Movies or Poker Videos or whatever.
Along with above, I have my daily business studies. Some days, friends and family obligations. Few days, client meetings regarding business operations.
Read the first line again. I said 2020. This is not my new year’s resolution for 2021; this is how I spent my time in 2020. Because of the time invested in the above way, drop by drop, each day, I have been able to add immense knowledge for me, for the well-being of people who are close to me, and for my business. I have been at my strongest ever in my life, and fittest too. Regarding meditation and mindfulness, everything is on a whole another level, I can’t explain!
To be true, this 2020 has been the happiest and my most content year in my whole life. There may have been some things which were missing, but that’s not the point. I have been able to spread my happiness with everyone who are present in my life. I thank the Omniscient Creator, for he has always been with me. Any gratitude is minuscule before His grace.

जितना भी रश्क करे बेशक
तो कम है, ऐ मेरे ख्वाजा,
तेरे क़दमों को मेरे रहनुमा नहीं
छोड़ना गंवारा… … …
Have impossible goals. And with it, have an AUDACIOUS HEART to dream those impossible goals. Who knows, if impossibility is just a puny little thing in front of the audacity of your heart…!?
Me, musing…
I write essays to find answers. When I am confused, I take pen and paper and I start writing. May be, only 0.1% essays have ended on this website, I have thousands written. I question a lot, that’s why I have lots of essays to find answers to those questions.
Here’s a snippet of my writing to find what companionship means to me. Before writing, I too did not know. But after, I found my answer.
So, next time you are stuck with a question, do pick a pen and paper; and see where it leads.
Did I say that Rumi elevates you? I was so wrong…
He does not elevate you, he EXPANDS you…!!!
He makes you grand and cosmic and beyond what you can think. He envelops you with the cosmos.
I saw you and became empty.
This emptiness, more beautiful than existence,
it obliterates existence, and yet when it comes,
existence thrives and creates more existence…!
When I had that experience, this is exactly what I had come to know. I am grateful, for he drowned me in the truth.
Tonight, I’ll read Rumi. It has been so many days since I read him.
Do you feel elevated even before doing something? I am feeling elevated even before reading Rumi.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
