Cleaning things does what?

What happens when you start cleaning things. Like the dust settled in between the keys of your keyboard? (wait a second, there is dust settled in between the keys of my keyboard)

Ok.

So where were we?

Ah! Cleaning.

The place where I grew up to accidentally stamping on dog shit is Mumbai.

Imp. Disclaimer: I am not from Bollywood, I am Bollywood.

Mumbai is blessed with the occurrence of dust settling on your property, how much ever you may own. Your face is also your property BTW.

If you travel in peak hours that's like from 5 am to 4 am, you will feel funny in the nose and your properties, like the back your phone cover slowly turning into a desert.

While, I found travelling to be an unavoidable fate, at my home I do take up ownership of this dust.

My tools are simple - a piece of cloth and a brush which saw the passage of my milk teeth at one point.

So, every alternate day, I wake up a little early and get to cleaning.

Cleaning the accessible areas and taking the effort to reach the lesser accessible ones.

This process releases a sense of an accomplishment within. ( Had to refrain from using "I have realized in that sentence")

Also, my keyboard looks like its brand new.

The best way to remember what you have read

Looking at the stack of books piled up on the study shelf, I am left to wonder, gosh! How much of the things I have read do I ACTUALLY remember? Curbing the existential anxiety, I guess the best way to remember what you have read is to show a keen interest in what you are reading. In the moment, how in tune are you with the words that you gleen over. Is the author making sense? Are you able to connect with the printed ink? Are you circling around some lines more often trying to relate it with previous readings Otherwise, why read that stuff in the first place. The above line is both a lesson in rigid thinking and hyper-practical. I am a habitual reader and a habitual forgetter. Forgetting things all the time gives me used to give me a sour sense of remorse. And then one day, over a conversation with a friend, he suggests, why don't you instead think of it as "You learn something new every time, every day". he then goes to add, "Fine! You may not rememb...

Happy hormones

Are there happy hormones and sad hormones in our body? Ya. But sad hormones are nothing but the body not being able to produce certain essential hormones that eventually F#$Ks the body up. That's just sad. More on happy hormones now, Ya. Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Endorphins, Norepinephrine, Adrenalin These are the so-called happy hormones, or hormones that seem to regulate our happiness. When we exercise we release a mix of Endorphins and adrenaline into our bloodstream. We start feeling like Jason Statham from the movie Crank. Dopamine is released when we achieve something. Like right now I am feeling mini droplets of dopamine being registered in my brain as I finish writing each para each sentence each word. Oxytocin is best described by the bonding of mother to her child. Even other mammals other than humans (the most greedy mammal) are said to be releasing oxytocin. Serotonin, contrary to popular belief is actually produced in the stomach rather th...

A Rhythm to do stuff

is the most important thing is the best that can happen Is what every self-help article will ever suggest you to do. I do not wish to be a whistleblower of sorts when I say this. But that's just my gut instinct. They why is it so tough? It is because in the age we live in instant gratification is given top most priority. Our brains shun the repetitiveness of things, claiming "what's the point!" That's where the 'Why, I started this' question becomes important. 4 years ago, on a cozy Sunday afternoon, I had decided to go to the gym and do something about my body. On the way, I remember getting bombarded by my inner voice "Dude, you don't know anything, what will you even do there" "You will injure yourself" "Treadmill? what if it's already taken?" Funny enough, none of those things happened, except for the treadmill being taken. But, I still worked out. Rusty form, no idea what I was doin...
