21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 13: What are your goals for the next 30 days?


I have a few goals in the next 30 days, especially because of the amount of extra time on my hands. These goals have mostly always been on my list, but with a full time job and a 4-hour commute per day, it gets slightly difficult for me to achieve them.

Here goes:

1. Complete this Blog Marathon: Today is day 13, I’m two-thirds into this blogging marathon. It actually makes me quite excited to pick up my laptop and write each day. However, I will admit that even though I absolutely love writing, writing each day can get quite taxing. There are certain days where I find myself staring at my screen and drawing a blank (today being one of those days). But there is a sense of flow once I get to it, and a sense of fulfillment once I complete each post. I know that this blogging marathon is not about achieving perfection in my daily posts, it is about spending more time doing something I love. And that is what keeps me going every day.  

2. Lettering challenge on Instagram: Calligraphy is another hobby of mine, and I have decided to participate in a lettering challenge on Instagram during the month of April. As part of this challenge, I will be doing hand-lettering and posting on Instagram, every two days in April. The goal is to complete 15 posts. I’ve taken up this challenge for the same reason as the blog marathon, to spend more time doing something I love. Also, I find it to be an amazing creative outlet!

3. Read more Books: This is more of a yearly goal rather than a monthly goal. Since I have not been able to read very well in the last few years, I have set a yearly target. My target is to read fifty books in 2020. So far, I have picked up twelve books, and completed nine of them. At any given point in time, I usually focus on two books - one fiction and one non-fiction. I am currently reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson. My target in the next 30 days is to complete these two books, and a third book - On Cats by Charles Bukowski. 
  
4. Fitness: While we are all locked down inside our homes, and we cannot go for walks or to the gym, I am looking for alternate ways to be able to work out at home – climbing stairs, walking in my balcony or on the rooftop, playing catch with a ball – to name a few. I do not have any weight goals during this time, because I believe that actual fitness is more important than having “the right” physique or looking thin. My goal is to spend 30-40 minutes each day on some kind of physical activity for the next 30 days.

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style. Hope you enjoy it! Day 1: 5  Things That Make Me Happy  I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy: 1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a p...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
