August-2026-Note¶
Okay, I need to type this quick. I am in-between things.
Life¶
Life has been great this month. After the race, I started taking swimming classes in Bangalore. This is meant as a refresher as I already know swimming, but I am quite out-of-touch.
The three week course was fun. I did end up enjoying swimming. :)
The Tuesday dinner with Tanvi and friends is amazing. I am very fond of it.
I have started publishing drafts now. Go check them out.
I have to clean up my home-server situation which was offline for more than 6 months now.
I have resumed to learn Rust. This is my second attempt.
I am back to my 16/8 intermittent fasting routine.
In the relationship front I have hit a snag (again)!! It is sad.
Reading¶
- Starting
- Reading
- A Shore Thing
The romance thing in the book does nothing for me. All romance books are almost the same for me. It washes over me like neutrinoes through the earth; barely affecting anything (Just like any other romance book tbh).
I do like the bicycle related themes and the botany / nature aspect that is the shown in the book. - The Zen and Art of Motorcycle maintenance
I keep growing fonder and fonder of the book. I need to take motorcycle maintenance more seriously. - Expansive Love
The book is okay, sometimes I find it too preachy. I am beginning to question if RA is for me or not. I want to give this a proper shot before completely discarding the idea.
- A Shore Thing
- Re-Reading
- Poor Economics
- Ending
- Paused
- Listening
Outdoors¶
Very recently I met a friend and we both discovered that we want to run the Malnad Ultra this year. I might take up running coaching under a professional trainer this month.
I have also resumed my strength training and running as well. I want to improve my aerobic base and run stronger.
In October me and a couple of folks are planning to hike to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp in Nepal. I really hope this happens. :)
Work¶
Work is okay. Nothing specific has happened. :)
