An Update

Hello my dear reader. I know you have been waiting for an update of my previous affair with Bechaini. Here I am, after 15 books, 1.5kg down, with all the Paul Graham Essays read, with lots of ideas in the mind, along with a metal physic and a relentless tough mind with a more softer soul.

Here I am, infused with plethora of music and coffee;1Progressive House, Techno House, Electro House infused with words and thoughts;2A Love Affair with Fountain Pens and Inks and Papers infused with lots of lucid dreams. Here I am with a dose of Lo-Fi music when I want to curl up and become a rasgulla.

Here I am, pushing my limits, making every effort to satisfy my hunger for curiosity, and being always explosive. Here I am, who had learnt since I met It, that one should never fight with life, but one should immerse in life itself.

Life is the most beautiful thing, and here I am immersed in it to the fullest.

Bechaini was my alarm to stop letting my life become granted. That’s true, life can become granted even when it is glittering. It was the indication to squeeze all the beauty, and dive into it with all the love I can.

Here I am, radiating again, breathing fire when needed, and breathing flowers other times…

Bechaini, An Omen

Previous night was a bad dream. It does not belong in my life. I don’t want it to belong in my life. Everything was fine till evening. I listened to songs with my evening walk, I was high on life. When I came back from the walk, I started to feel uneasy. In no time, uneasiness turned into anxiety, and anxiety turned into fear. I was too afraid, I don’t know of what. God, I was restless. I was afraid to the bottom of the darkness. I did not sleep till 3. I was praying, re-assuring myself that I am a warrior, He is with me, everything will be alright, He takes care of everything, and on and on. Once I slept, nightmares swallowed me.

Why? How? Afraid of what? God, I don’t know!

In my native language, it is called bechaini. I never have it. I used to have it few years back when we were debt ridden. I used to have it when I used to think about my future. But with past experiences, I observed that every time I have this feeling, things turn really really good afterwards; as if it is an omen of good things to come ahead. What is more better than Peace, Tranquility, and Contentment!


I woke up with a much better feeling today and I am feeling good now. Still the traces of yesterday night are there. They will evaporate soon.
By the way, who said that you can not increase your strength while cutting your weight? I am 7kg down since my cut. I spent 6 weeks on 137kg Deadlift without any progress. Yet, today, I lifted 141kg Deadlift for 6 reps, even in my cut. Vamos…!

Bechaini, An Omen

BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) has become one of my favorite racing series because of the close battles it produces. I am rooting for the championship contender Ash Sutton. Colin Turkington is the other protagonist.

Each racing weekend, there are three races. I watched the first race where Ash Sutton drove good. He did not win the race, but he finished ahead of Colin Turkington. That was important, to me at least. In the second race, halfway, he made a mistake and dropped back behind Colin Turkington. Colin was leading the race. I was disappointed. I closed the tab and left the remaining race unwatched.

Today, I resumed where I had left yesterday night. Second race, Ash Sutton who was dropped down the order, got a puncture and did not finish the race. I was harassed. Colin Turkington won this race. And Ash Sutton will start from the back of the grid in the third race.

Race three – Ash Sutton, from last to second…! Boom shakalaka…!


Colin finished 10th

Yes, I know everything can disappear in a flash of light.
That doesn’t make it any less valuable…

God, do you gasp for air after reading something beautiful? Do you feel that, for a split moment, you have expanded and become universe, and come back… … …?

Bored? Use Biology!

I noticed that when you feel dull, slow, or bored – it is not the fault of your brain. It is your metabolism that slowed down. You feel lethargic, your brain slows down, because your energy levels drop down. All you have to do is raise your metabolism.

Have you ever wondered when you feel bored, nothing ordinary helps. Songs, coffee, your smartphone – nothing helps. These merely pass the time for you, these don’t solve your boredom. These don’t raise your metabolism.

I don’t know many ways for raising metabolism, but this one thing works great for me. A short walk. A 20-25 minute walk with headphones over my head makes me come alive (and throb like a musical wave).

Next time, whenever you feel bored, use biology; raise your metabolism (and keep it elevated).

Bored? Use Biology!

I have a wide smile on my face right now. A wide smile with a dimple. Have you ever noticed that your eyebrows respond to your smile too? A wide smile of an 8 year old I have right now.

I read my first Ray Bradbury short story… B-)


No, I am not gonna eat this cake in one go. I’ll have it bite by bite, one story before sleeping, every night…

I fear a Man of frugal Speech
I fear a Silent Man
Haranguer – I can overtake
Or Babbler – entertain

But he who weigheth – while the rest
Expend their furthest pound
Of this Man – I am wary
I fear that He is Grand

Emily Dickinson

When a co-incidence happens, don’t we doubt that there’s something beyond explanation with it? That’s the beauty my dear – in truth, nothing is a co-incidence.

We are humans, not God. It may be a co-incidence for us, but for Him nothing is a co-incidence…

Every river merges into the ocean, and every ocean becomes a river again – for ocean and river, everything is Him…
