dead or alive?

so a bit of life updates first if you’re wondering. lately i escaped the treacherous city of gurgaon somehow alive after being a contractual 2 month employee of a company, who realised that i am evil enough to help them catch more clients and flip up their competetor’s pokemons whenever i see them, that they offered me a return offer(hope they dont read this)(maybe i’ll remove this part and wont go in detail dm for my adventures). didnt had many friends there(like i have a ton here ready to hang out anytime) the ones i had either preferred to stay in their room or go back to their womb place(ik they aint reading this too). so i had to pass time on my own and how fun is it binge watch 8 seasons of dexter isnt it. i explored almost every big movie theatre there, watched a movie alone in a single hall, experienced imax, rode the 4dx seats, even watched some “comedies”, watched almost every single film released during those two months. went to many overpriced cafes, ordered many overpriced drinks and food realising i can make them on my own too so i did, ranging from mexican bowls to blueberry smoothie bowls to “some-random-shitass-name”-latte, mastered the art of playing foosball, bargaining, paying rents and whatnot hell i even joined gym to kill boredom.

recommendations:

• music - been diving into some indian jazz like Kolkata stories by Bishu Chattopadhyay. the strokes(the whole including the voidz, julian singles), daft punk too and ofc not forgetting to consume my daily rap intake.
• books - not reading much lately but De Profundis, Projections and Hyperion are totally on my to read list which i’m going to finish this month.

While I’m not quite over the whole ‘meow zedong’ meme craze and instagram warning everyone that my account is compromised and I am a scammer in disguise(something to ponder upon), here I am again—banging on my keyboard just because the clackety-clack is oddly satisfying while I wait for Conda to finish installing in the background. So, yeah, the birthday was lit. winters? Even better. Got to visit six different states and, of course, drink unlimited beer. InterIIT? didn’t quite go as expected, but I’m still proud of the whole contingent, especially my kids. it was fun. frustrating at times, sure, but totally worth it. Maybe I should write another blog entirely about that trip and vacation. Could be fun.

Music

Recently, I have developed a fondness for jazz; it somehow makes me dance and feel superior. Other than that, my music taste has taken a very wide curve from indie rock to alt rock to raw rock. Now I’m stuck with April Rain and White Moth Black Butterfly (thanks Chucky xp). Seriously, go listen to them; you’ll appreciate each instrument being played in there and the harmony they meddle into.

hello hello, missed me? i forgot i had a blog so here i am back after 6 monthish maybe? although i didn’t posted much in the start

wannabe artist

literature

i wanted to get into literature after the tech meet, so i started reading books again but this time no sci-fi, no biographies or anything only literature, so i read ‘A thousand splendid suns’ by Khaled Hosseini and i honestly liked it very much, it is a compelling but a heart-wrenching story of two women, both with distinct family background and about a generation apart, who were brought together under the same household through the tragic sweep of war. it is a story set between the period around the 1960s to 2000s in afghanistan; a period during the invasion by the soviet union and the rise of the dreadful taliban and i’d happily recommend this book to everyone.

everyone knows i adore good coffee

but this is not about coffee(would turn into a coffee blog in future maybe)

starting today you’ll hear my adventures not on a regular basis but yea i’ll rant once in a while, maybe this blog will die, who knows. writing this markdown in vim (now admit that i’m cool) and the theme somewhat resembles a terminal. istg i tried manipulating the css and i’ll not edit it further like it or not, i first wanted it to be a simple html page, but imposter syndrome kicked in(not gonna elaborate)
