List the people you admire and look to for advice…
From the college days, if there’s one thing that I learnt well, it’s to trust my instincts.
At this stage of life, I don’t really feel like getting advice. If I already know it then fine, if not I will learn a little bit about it and allow my instincts to guide me.
The only person I admire and look to for advice is myself.
Good day to you🫡.
Have you ever been camping?
Out of all these years of riding, I have camped along with my friends only once.
And that experience was also not that rosy.
We had set up a tent while it was drizzling and at night it was freezing cold and water started seeping from the ground.
At around 1 AM we came out and took one more tarpoline cover and used it.
But overall it was a sleepless night I’d say and that was the 1st and last time I was on a tent😅.
Good day to you 🫡.
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?
During my college days I was in love with a girl who saw me as a friend.
Immature me, didn’t know how to express my feelings, stopped talking to her.
She tried many times asking me what’s wrong but I didn’t express.
On the last day of college after we got dropped by the college bus in the city I saw her in the bus stop walking towards me.
We both had eye contact but didn’t talk. This scene will stay in my mind forever.
Had I took 10 minutes and expressed everything to her, giving her time to think, she might have considered me.
Good day to you🫡.
What makes you nervous?
Am usually a man with a plan.
When I approach something without a plan, even though the surprise element and fun is there, it makes me a little nervous.
Let me know when you get nervous.
Good day to you🫡.
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
That’s the time I had bought my 1st bike and was looking forward to join a group to ride regularly.
The showroom person mentioned someone’s name and asked me to go and meet him for details.
We had a small meeting with other people in city and he asked me to buy a riding jacket as riding gears are mandatory for long rides.
And that’s how I found my riding mentor who shaped me as who I am today when it comes to motorcycles.
Good day🫡.
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
Bikes, anyday.
All modes of transport can help you with a cross country trip. But a bike only can make memories.
Good day to you🫡.
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
I’d advice my teen self to focus on being the best version of myself.
To focus on staying happy and having inner peace.
To have a hobby or passion and follow it for life.
Good day to you🫡.
What is your favorite drink?
Arabian pulpy grape juice.
From the 1st time I got a chance to taste it 8 years ago, till now, this has been my favorite go to drink to fill my soul.
Managed to find some restaurants that serve tasty ones both inside city and on the highways.
If you haven’t tried this, help yourself by trying once and thank me later😃👍🏻.
Good day to you🫡.
Write about your approach to budgeting.
#LongPostAlert
TLDR:
Budgeting based on your spending categories is a good option. Making this a habit will make wonders and I recommend using Wallet to manage your finances. https://budgetbakers.com
There are several good apps that help you to track your spendings and create budgets.
If you’re a long term iphone user and you know that you will never switch to android then I recommend moneycoach app.
If you want a good cross platform app then I recommend wallet, which I have mentioned in the TLDR section as well.
I started using these apps and tried to understand my spending categories and started creating budget for that.
Unlike axio, which automatically notes down your spending based on the transaction message, the apps I have mentioned so far require manual input and that’s really good.
You get a sense of control and at the end of the day when you revisit the apps for spendings, chances are you’ll remember what that amount is about.
For the past 5 years I have been using such apps and it’s now a habit for me to always make an entry in the app immediately I do a spending.
At the end of the month I can easily check on what category I have spent a lot on and can plan ahead for the upcoming month.
Good day to you🫡.
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
The obvious thing that I’d do is share it with my friends, relevant ones.
I have several close friends to whom I share common interests separately.
There’s a set to whom I discuss about rides, and another set to whom I discuss about gaming and then there’s another set to whom I discuss about food and there’s one another to whom I discuss about life in general.
So I’d obviously share it with the relevant friends and double the happiness.
Good day to you🫡.
