I had to step in to play the church organ today, after much hesitation. No organist was available today, I had one day to prepare and I did an “ok” job at it. After church, Andy and I hung out and went church hopping to Bethel. I happened to meet Kiran Jason Samuel there. He’s one of the pastors there now.  After church Andy dropped me at Hebbal, I decided to go on an adventure. Get back home by bus! Though I had money for auto (₹270 by auto from Hebbal to home), I got into a bus.  Hebbal to BEL circle flyover beginning - ₹10 Walk from BEL circle flyover beginning to Lotegollahalli flyover - priceless (about 250 steps)  Lotegollahalli Flyover to BEL circle - ₹5  Bel circle to Shettihalli Cross - ₹15  Shettihalli cross to Shettihalli circle - priceless (Hitchhiked on a Zomato delivery bike)  Shettihalli circle to home - priceless (1000 steps)  45 bucks I was home, and I stayed on a call with Andy and didn’t feel the time passing by! 

It rained today, after noon!  It wasn’t as heavy as the meteorological department had predicted! Yellow alert was given to Bangalorians! Though the rains bruise and drops a few small avocados and the fruits on my terrace garden, it saves me time! I need not water the plants! The rain takes care of my hour long chore. The rain also cools the air so there’s some relief to my skin as well. Hope it rains again. The earth could do with some cooling. 

It’s very important for me that my friends succeed! When they do, I succeed too! We are a pack like a pack of wolves. We hunt together! The pack needs to have the strongest and most dependable wolves.  Things have worked for us many ways! I want my friend Solomon to do well in the stock market, we learn things together. Another eg. Cherian’s successful company was able to hire me to do a small job for him during the pandemic and that paid the bills for me. So when a friend does well, you do too.  I’m not being dependent here, but he was in a spot to help me out because of his success, while I was able to provide a small service in exchange.   Here are some red flags to spot some hyenas among wolves. I’m listing out a few here.  1. They are not happy when their friend succeeds. They try to bring out the cons and try not to be encouraging. One needs the ability to identity the “unhappy friend” from one who is trying to stop you from making a huge mistake.  2. They only hang out with you

New role as a blogger. My friend Cherian’s Edge 3D technologies uses industry standard 3D scanners for their BIM (Building Information Modeling) projects. The company is focused on being global industry leaders with clients all over the world. It is currently headquartered in Dubai, as it is well connected with Americas, Europe and Asia.  This will be a huge leading curve for me to pitch my writing skills to educate, inform and reel in potential clients for the company. Looking forward to this new challenge.

Got myself a pair of Flying Machine with Denzil. The sales girl was mildly flirtatious while I was browsing though their catalogues. She tried pushing in the more expense products! I saw through this and wondered how “simps” would survive this level of sales. I politely told her, that these were way above my budget and I’m done choosing mine. Then she told me she would get an incentive if there was a sale for over 10k. She’s some hustler!  

Kindness in your eyes,  I try to understand your truth, your lies,  Two birds, different feathers! We are never meant to be!  Maybe we’ll, never see the day   To do all the things we say!  We’ll just lock our jaws,  And remember a different time.  You’ve inspired a poem,  I put that into a song!  Before you go, I want you to know, Im sorry, if I couldn’t be  The man inside your head.

Arjun felt around for his phone on the table side, and snoozed it, without even looking at it. He had an interview that day! The Alarm went on again after exactly 9 minutes, which he snoozed again, but was woken up instantly by the aroma of coffee that filled his room! Mom was there, yelling at him to wake up, complaining and picking his clothes that were thrown carelessly. She prayed loudly, making sure Arjun heard her, to send her son a wife soon so she can be relieved from all these tasks, while arranging his books on the table, lifting his socks on the table with a pinch, searching for its pair!  This was his wake up call, if the alarm didn’t work, his mom was backup!  “Arjun have your shower, Arjun come for breakfast, Arjun do this, do that!” The human timer was spot on! No app or any organizer would work so relentlessly or efficiently!  Years passed, the alarm rang. Arjun woke up instantly, did his chores, went to work. There was no human timer anymore to be found!
