  • Out of 10 I am confident at..

    How would you rate your confidence level?

    Well there are many ways for you to choose your confidence level. Physically, mentally, financially and even officially.

    Physically:

    6/10

    As I started working out early during the school days, though not doing anything now, I have a good physique with broad shoulders.

    Since I didn’t have any physical activity for many years now, I became obese. But this year I started with basic stretches for pelvic area, lower and upper back as I needed them to maintain comfort during my motorcycle rides.

    Turns out these stretches give me a feel that am physcially fit and I can really feel that even when am walking. My body feels a lot free now and I have to shed a lot of weight which is in the pipeline.

    Mentally:

    8/10

    I used to suffer from hair fall during college days and I had to cover it up by growing hair a bit longer and covering up the bald patches.

    But now after becoming a bit mature am shaving off my hair and going for a clean bald look and that really improves my confidence and am more presentable to the society now.

    Gone are those days where a little bit of wind can ruin my confidence level🥲.

    Financially:

    5/10

    Am in the state where I need to plan, save/invest to buy items that are out of my reach. I don’t have any loans though.

    But still, I wanna be in the level where I don’t have to plan much when I decide to buy something that is a need

    Officially:

    5/10

    Started learning new stuff this year that aids in my career growth. Have devised a learning path for some certifications and slowly am moving up the ladder.

    Hopefully I want to change this confidence level to a 7 with a new job and a new certification same time next year🤞🏻

    Thanks a lot for reading. Good day to you🫡.

  • My activities

    What activities do you lose yourself in?

    Youtube shorts:

    Well that ain’t a surprise right?. Almost most of us lose our time in these 30s short videos.

    Wet shaving:

    It’s a therapy for me. I shave my scalp and am folically challenged😃. So I can easily lose 1 hour wet shaving myself.

    Tech:

    If am trying to explore some new things regarding smartphones or some gadget wizardry then I can live even without food.

    What are your activities?. Good day to you🫡.

  • Am I?

    Are you superstitious?

    NO

  • Decathlon. My goto place.

    Where would you go on a shopping spree?

    For the past 4-5 years most of my shopping is done @ Decathlon.

    From casual every day wear to outdoor attire and base layers for motorcycle rides, and handy luggage systems, you name it and it’s available there.

    Good to see the quality that they maintain for the price they ask. If you haven’t tried Decathlon, try the nearest outlet today.

    Good day to you👍🏻.

  • Interview preparation

    What is the last thing you learned?

    I started preparing for a job change so decided to learn spring boot and also some deep java. Spent almost 3 months in learning and recently decided to add a learning path for azure certifications.

    Getting ready to take my 1st fundamentals certification exam in a couple of weeks.

    Never stop learning and updating in your profession. Flow like water and never be stagnant.

    Good day to you👍🏻.

  • The question I don’t like to be asked is..

    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

    Nothing literally. In fact I always like to answer the most irritating questions this society asks with a straight forward and in your face answer.

    Many people like that feeling of putting you in a bad spot. If you feel irritated and agitated with their questions then that makes up the day for them.

    If you give a straight forward and open answer then they feel bad for asking a question. Do this daily and they won’t even think about pissing you off.

    Good day to you👍🏻.

  • Interview failure and laddering up

    How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

    I got rejected in the 1st ever interview in my undergraduation when most of my class mates got selected in that company.

    I can say this as a failure. Then i got selected in the next company which dragged for a year to provide date of joining. I’d say this as an apparent failure.

    During this phase I had lost a year and decided to pursue post graduation which i’d say is the best decision I took that time.

    I did post graduation in a reputed university on a cutting edge technology and when i got my first job there I was on the salary band of my friends who got placed earlier in UG but now I got a PG degree too.

    Won’t brag this as a success but really a weird path. What i’d say is never lose hope no matter how bad life goes down. Take care of yourself and focus on making yourself better physically, emotionally and financially and everything will fall into place.

    Good day to you👍🏻.

  • Fate/Destiny – Believe it or not #DailyPrompt

    Do you believe in fate/destiny?

    I don’t believe in fate or destiny. What I believe in is that whatever it is, if you can act on that you have control of it and you can change it.

    Falling sick is not in your hands but taking medicines and recovering sooner is. So I always focus on the recovering part.

  • My experiences with life #DailyPrompt

    What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

    Rejection:

    When I proposed to the same girl twice in a gap of 3 years she didn’t accept me both the times.

    I performed well in my 1st interview in college, even then i didn’t get selected when almost the whole of my class was selected in the interview

    Rejection really teaches you a lot. What to expect, what not to expect, how to be and how not to be.

    Finance and passion:

    Having a passion is mandatory. It provides your life a purpose and gives you a pivot whenever you feel low.

    When your passion becomes your hobby and when you need more money to elevate to the next level and when you don’t have that, you understand where you stand in your life financially.

    Then you look up from the darkness and see that small light which is your passion and you start to climb.

    Good day to you🫡.

  • My 3 objects #DailyPrompt

    What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

    Phone:

    It’s an obvious answer. In this digital world a phone is not just an object but a part of you. I do more on that daily be it transactions, work related and also enjoyment and even hobbies like wordpress.

    Bike:

    I love to travel and especially on my bike. I ride professionally with all the riding gears and have been riding since 2015 and more than 60k km and counting.

    Workstation:

    Whenever i work or learn something new or type my posts on wordpress I do it in my workstation (My desk and executive chair plus my 24″ monitor). Not only they provide comfort but also it behaves a small world of mine where am productive.

    Good day to you🫡.
