🏋️ Health
Back to 85 kg — and yes, the goal is clear: I need to shred down to 81 kg. No confusion there.
One interesting thing this week: a senior of mine trained ChatGPT specifically for weight loss journeys and food calculation. That blew my mind. Learning from that, I trained my own ChatGPT for diet planning and tracking — and honestly, it’s freaking amazing. It helps me calculate food, plan meals, and stay consistent without overthinking.
With gym training and proper diet planning, health-wise I’m doing very well. I’m eating healthy, cutting down on unhealthy food — okay yes, I had Taco Bell twice, fine — but I’m controlling it. That’s the win. What matters is that now it’s convenient to measure, track, and stay accountable. Health finally feels organised instead of emotional.
💻 Work
Work-wise, this was a smooth-flow week. Nothing stuck, nothing overly hyped — just clean execution. One highlight: I created an entire POV / First-Person ad for a mouth freshener, from ideation to implementation. The crazy part? I did it alone.
This really made me think. A production that usually takes 20–25 people was done by a single person — and I didn’t even act in it. It took me three days to pull off. As kids, we hear this line a lot: “Money buys time.” And it’s true. A ₹5–8 lakh ad got executed in roughly ₹2,000. That’s insane.
Apart from that, I also edited my own video, which will be published soon. Don’t worry — next week you’ll see me on Instagram doing some gyaan-type shit again.

Man, these two together are a perfect example of articulation and awareness. There’s a list of things discussed, and honestly, I don’t know nine of them — and that’s okay. That’s the point.

☕ Small Wins
Big one: I finally edited my video — and it took just one hour. I’ll post it, forget about it, and move on to the next thing. That’s progress.
AK brought me my first house flowers, and I genuinely loved that. Thanks, AK — that meant more than you think.
Went bowling with the boys, and you can literally see learning in action there. Sam is a perfect example of processed learning. The time I’ve spent around him shows how deeply he understands his passion. Passion mixed with affection is dangerous — but powerful. Even VM knows himself really well.
PS: I lost the bet
It made me question something about myself:
Do I fear knowing myself deeply?
Or do I lack affection for myself?
That’s something I need to look into.
Also — I went to H&M Home, and man… what a place. I know it’s just a store, but the aesthetic power it holds is surreal. It was inspiring and overwhelming at the same time. If I had unlimited money, I’d recreate that entire store inside my house.
📖 Learning
Watch this — seriously, don’t skip it:

I’ve already written a full blog on this, and I’ll post it soon.
Also, here’s a doc I’ve been working on — ask for access:

Crazy thought process. Solid discipline. Clean articulation.
📚 A Line from a Book (and beyond)
“Ideas come to us.
We don’t create ideas.”
— David Lynch
I have a lot of contradictory thoughts on this. But even contradictions are ideas — and execution is what gives them meaning.
Also this line stayed with me:
“There is no normal/average. A ‘normal person’ is what is left after society has squeezed out all unconventional opinions and aspirations out of a human being.”
— Sylvia Plath

✍️ A Poem by Me
Main aisa ek sajda karta hoon,
Milna chahta hoon aur baithna chahta hoon,
Wapas se kisi ka nahi,
Bas tumhara hona chahta hoon.
Translation / Meaning:
I bow in a prayer like this —
wanting to meet, wanting to sit and stay.
I don’t want to belong to the world again,
I only want to belong to you.
For me, this poem is about stillness, choice, and wanting presence over possession.
💭 Closing Thoughts
This week felt balanced. Health was structured. Work was efficient. Creativity felt lighter. I’m learning how to use tools better — AI, time, money, and myself. Nothing dramatic happened, and maybe that’s the best part. Progress doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it just shows up quietly and stays.
We move forward.
