🏋️ Health
This week, health goes right on top — and honestly, it deserves it. Whether it’s my habits, my consistency, or the food I ate, everything felt aligned. Mentally and physically, I felt good, and that changes everything. Even food tastes different when your mind and body are in sync. You enjoy eating not because you’re filling a gap, but because you’re present. This week reminded me that when health is stable, life automatically feels lighter.
📖 Learnings
I watched Dangal again — yes, that one. “Humari chhori chhoron se kam hai ke?”
And every time I watch it, it hits differently. There are endless lessons in that film — acting, character arcs, growth — but the biggest one that stayed with me this time was discipline. There’s this popular line that keeps coming back to me: “Motivation is shit. Discipline matters.” I don’t fully agree with it — motivation does matter — but on certain days, discipline is the only thing that shows up. And those days count the most.
Another learning came from something unexpected — I learned how to play pickleball. I don’t even know how, but I realised again that I adapt well to sports. I’ve played football at a decent level, I’m a good bowler in cricket, average at table tennis, and I still have stamina. Credit goes to the gym for keeping my endurance alive. Sports always remind me that adaptation is a skill — not talent.
💻 Work
Work-wise, this week brought back something important: my love for music. I’m currently working on a music video — a full-fledged one — and it reminded me why I enjoy this medium so much. I’ve been part of music videos before, but honestly, I never really liked those experiences. This time is different.
This project is happening from one place. No running around. No dependency chaos. Just me and three friends — all crazy creative people. And here’s the honest part: I have very low self-esteem. I need people around me to sometimes say, “Bro, you’re not bad.” So working with people who are extremely powerful creatively feels overwhelming in a good way. The question running in my head is: how do I fully utilise this power without misusing it? How do I make sure everyone shines, without hurting anyone’s feelings?
Delays are already happening, and this project matters a lot to me. This is my main task right now. If seven people have seven different solutions, how do you land on one without friction? If you have an answer, genuinely — let me know.

🧠 Brain Refreshments
Watching Dangal also brought out another deep lesson: fear is the first enemy you have to fight. That felt painfully true. If you’re scared of something, you’ll never do it. Like the classic example — if someone tells you there’s a ghost in the closet, you’ll never open it. But once you do and realise there’s nothing there, suddenly you’re not afraid of closets anymore.
And even if there was a ghost? You were already dying in fear without opening it. Where’s the adventure then? Why do we watch movies and say, “He shouldn’t have done this” or “She shouldn’t have gone there”? Why live in regret? Fear kills action long before failure ever can.
☕ Small Wins
Thank you, VM — genuinely. You made our flat feel like a home. After three freaking months, I finally felt what a home actually feels like. Not because I was lonely before — no, I have family everywhere — but that house noise while sleeping, that background chaos? I love that. That’s home. Thank you, bhai.
New Year was simple and fun. I don’t really like partying, but one of my friends said he’d order pizza at 11:50 PM. The pizza arrived at 12:20, and he said, “Kya bhaiya — ek saal laga diya.”
I tried the same thing later — my pizza arrived in 9 minutes.
WHY.
Still, I enjoyed the time. Friends, laughter, small jokes — nothing loud, nothing forced.
Happy New Year, guys. 🙂

Perfect background for a week that felt balanced and alive.
✍️ A Poem by Me
Soch, vichaar aur kavita,
Kaash tum zinda hoti,
Toh tumhe pakad ke poochta,
Kahaan ho? Kahaan jaa rahe ho? Kahaan reh gaye the?
Translation / Meaning:
Thoughts, reflections, and poetry —
if you were still alive,
I would hold you and ask,
where are you now? where are you going? where did you get left behind?
💭 Closing Thoughts
This week felt grounded. Healthy. Creative. Curious. It reminded me that discipline supports motivation, fear blocks growth, and homes aren’t walls — they’re feelings. I’m entering the year slowly, intentionally, and with more clarity than noise.
We move forward — lighter, stronger, and a little more honest.
