It’s not absolutely boring. But it’s relatively boring to be at home.
It’s right I get to do things that I love and don’t normally get to do, but even if you love sugar you’d not take in a bowl of sugar with water.
Here is how a typical day is:
Get up at 4 or 5. Switch on the computer, run the torrent client. Sleep.
Get up at 7 or 8. Text everyone good morning, eat breakfast. Sleep.
Get up at 10 or 11. Throw mud at the tv, randomly click links, clear the gmail inbox, facebook notifications, try to write for Learn Learnin’, give up and sleep.
Get up at 1 or 2. Have lunch. Start reading a book. Sleep.
Get up at 3 or 4. Have tea, start seriously thinking of how to change the world. Get inspired. Finish two more chapters of the book, take some push-ups and crunches and squats, publish a page on the learning site, read something thought provoking, think about it for half an hour, write a blog post, watch some Olympics (thank God, it’s over), talk to dad about the same God’s ill-definition, have dinner, try to continue the same productivity, but fail and hit the sack, but still chatting to all the people, whatsapp and nimbuzz and gtalk and the good old sms and even email, and at around 11 to 12, sleep without knowing where the phone was dropped.
But at least there’s something to look forward to. When is the result being announced?!
Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
