deadpool, making friends, and a song for you

I know I have been away for three weeks. Every Sunday I think I’ll write to you, but then something comes up, and I push it to next Sunday. I didn’t want it to happen this week, so here I am prioritizing you on a Monday evening.

What’s up? How are you? The gap feels weird, isn’t it?

Not all times but today is one of those days I feel itchy to talk to you but I don’t know where to start or what to talk about.

I guess we’ll figure it out on the way. Expect random jumps from one topic to another.

I watched Deadpool and Wolverine last night. It was fun. Not the best Marvel movie but the way things have been going with Marvel lately, this was like finding ice cream in a desert (did you notice dessert-desert pun? okay, never mind.)

Umm, what else? I am working on my fitness. Things have been better. Not even close to the shape I want to be in but I like this entire long-term approach narrative.

Not to lose weight. Not to look handsome. But because it’s good for my sport and work. Having said that, I am enjoying looking at myself in the mirror. I probably took more pictures in the last seven weeks than I have in the last two years. Happy me.

In other news, I am making a wristwatch.

I have been a watch enthusiast for some time now and I always wanted to make my own watch. Thanks to Buildspace (it’s a hackathon kinda thing where you’re supposed to build a product in six weeks), I worked on this passion project sooner than I imagined.

This is how the dial looks like:

I made a video explaining how I got here. In case you’re interested.

I wrote a beautiful piece on how to make *really strong* friends in your 20s; you might find this useful:

Coming back to Marvel, watching Deadpool reminded me of this sick song from DJ Snake. You will love it if you like action-packed, fast-paced songs:

I am reading The God Delusion and Ramayana Unravelled simultaneously.

I love reading opposing perspectives together. God Delusion is about atheism and why one should not believe in God, while Ramayana Unravelled is about Ramayana’s facts that got diluted with time. It’s super fun.

I love collectables.

I should work hard towards becoming rich because if I don’t, my desire for collectables will make me broke one day. Good for me, I am a responsible spender but still. This is a glimpse of my coffee mug collection:

That’s everything I could think of. For now.

I just wanted to gain some momentum and not wait for a perfect issue. I will see you on Sunday.

You tell me - How has life been? Doing anything fun?
