Buena vida

Hola amigos,

It has been a while since I posted something here. But 2020 is full of surprises. So here I am :P

PFB the key highlights of my life since the last post. 

1. I grew my tummy and then put it in and then grew it back and in and you get the point (Just don't want to tell the current status here πŸ˜₯ Refer points 4 and 5 for justification πŸ˜‚ )

2. I have been working since 3 years in a data analytics firm which I loved and then hated once I broke my backbone there. Well, that story is not for today. Coding is something which even a technophobe like yours truly picked up. Not the single digit C kinds. They still scare me. I am talking about the Python. Not the snake πŸ˜„ Though initially, it did feel like one.

3. I met 2 really special people and hold them very close to me. I can make single special posts for both of them. (If you are reading this, then get some bribe ready for such an event to take place)

4. My back is traumatized for life. Thanks to stupid office pranks. I had my backbone broken and some slip disc and some nerve issues here and there. Oh, also my ears rang for a while. I got my doorbell changed after that πŸ˜€

5. I got crazy about cat. No, I meant CAT. The uppercase one. So crazy that I even told my friend that if I do make it to the college of my dreams, you can kill me. πŸ˜†

It was a joke. Don't message me back to tell me I am a nutcase. I already know that. 

Met some amazing mentors and friends during this journey and feel lucky to even know them. Shyam, Gejo, Tanuj, Arshad, Rajat, you all have my utmost respect and love. 

6. My parents have been getting older and it scares the shit out of me.

7. Thanks to a friend from point number 3, I learned cooking. Yes, me. Who dreaded even boiling water, can now do so with much zeal. Of course, some dishes too, dummy.

8. I picked up reading and realized that I want to go back to grade 1 to make up for the years I missed reading. No probs, zindagi abhi lambi hai!

9. FRIENDS, BBT, This is us, few ridiculously amazing movies. Sometimes, series and movies make me feel so crazy that I feel like ripping my head apart and going bang bang bang, yayyyy. How do I exist on this planet even?!

Get it? 

And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings me to the sexiest part of this post. The one and only, and the one and only, drumrollsssssssssssss,

MONEY HEIST

This show is really special to me. One that I would never forget. One that might pop out in my chest MRI. 

I  am a thriller fanatic. I love them. I would not close it till I finish it. 2020 got this show so popular (sorry if I am late), I decided to watch the whole thing at one go after my dearest pet, CAT happens. Well, that was the plan. 1 week to the exam, I went crazy. I used to cry for hours, making my mother wonder, what kind of a sapien did she give birth to. Gurus and mentors suggested some refreshment and closing of books and laptops. I did listen, well partially. I gave a VARC sectional a day before CAT, to make sure my body can read about anything during my exam slot. (I had been ensuring the same since a week, but I wanted to be extra cautious to not end up sleeping after reading a Philosphy text during my usual nap time) Sounds so lame to write it here, but it matters to me. Each of the days since last year in my journey in the pursuit of this exam matter to me. 

That was the week I picked up Money Heist. What thrill man! And what hotness. And such amazing actors. I have this urge to learn Spanish because of these people. How can I be on Earth and not learn a language so sexy. This show soothed me, kept me engaged and away from my usual exam thoughts. I used to eat with this show and even cry when someone in the show died (spoiler alert). 

I finished 2 seasons on the day I went and wrote CAT. I came back, cried like hell that I ruined the exam of my life, and then got back to watching the show. According to the answer key, the exam turned out to pretty decent. It could have been better, had I been not so dramatic as a person and chilled with something 'Old' maybe frequently this year. Always a next time 😌

The song of this show, Bella Ciao is on my lips since I started watching this show and now that it is over, I sing it to keep the show close to me. 

This post was supposed to be an update of the last 4 years of my life, but focused majorly on 2020. Well, that's how recency algorithms work πŸ˜‹

Chalo, that's all. Going back to work and till then, 

MantΓ©nte feliz πŸ’ž
