Layers of August 23

While I will be completing my three months internship today and heading back to hometown, from tomorrow, the first of August is a new start. New start in the same old place and back home. Trust me, so much can be done in three months and also, three months is not enough to do so many things. While a lot of commitments to meet people are still pending, I am left with no other options.

My theme for month of August is: (just being Italian) “Nuovi inizi”, meaning new starts. The idea is to see everything from a new lens. Pick every on-going aspect of life and give a new perception to it. Here are my goals as they align to the theme (will be):

1. Complete reading 4 novels

2. Write and publish 2 e-books

3. Read 2 new textbooks on research

4. Draft and work on 12 research papers

5. Design algorithms course using PBL

6. Conduct 2 workshops

7. Travel to 2 new places

8. Watch 31 movies

9. Work on PhD research design and its components

10. List 100 modules of Knit

11. Make 20 blogposts

12. Write 100 pages of thesis

July 2023 Wrap

My monthly resolution for July was more of travels and less of everything else and I must say, I have lived it. I did travel around 7000 kms in the month (4350+ miles) and yes, none of it in airplane (all through roadways and railways). I plan to post the experience stories, all through the month of August. I am sure it would have been more had it not been the rains.

Apart from that, I did read and write and my regular research routines. Did a workshop, had few reviews all those that took the normal priority. Also, I must mention that I did watch seven movies in theatre this month. Spy (Telugu, 5), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (English, 2), Satyaprem Ki Katha (Hindi, 7), Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (English, 6), Oppenheimer (English, 3), Baby (Telugu, 1) and Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani (Hindi, 4). I have ranked the movies in brackets based on my preferences.

Oh, yes. I believe I have found my life priorities. I have known to value the ones that matter to me. I am happy the way time has taught me to organize my happiness priorities. I have become more of peace and less of complaints. I am in absolute love with most of everything I have around me. The ones I have complaints with, oh well there are, have become negligible.

Thank you July of 23.

Calling it Nine

Nine years is definitely something to be happy about. I promise, I will write more this August. See you all soon. Destined? that I logged in back on same day of anniversary?

Hey July

I have been doing thematic monthly resolutions this year and has been beyond ‘cheerful’. Well guess what, my July theme is ‘tales from the travels’. Though every month I have had travels, this month is for travel. Asking me how excited am I? don’t ask! My tickets are already booked for some long distance travels and yet to plan my last week.

I also plan to stay away from laptop for most day. I plan to make the best use of this month. It is going to be like a min-may project.

I will try my best to make some posts amidst the month, for I am sure I will have lot of stories to tell. I am afraid I will not be able to do Camp NaNoWriMo this month.

Major Goal: Travel
Minor Goals: A little of reading, A little of writing, A little of everything else.

Of course I am starting with a movie for July 1.
