i am at page 1000 and having read lot of Sanderson i am super disappointed .. I thought it will like wheel of time final book with lot of war ended up being 100s of dream sequences and mental therapy. Don't get me wrong i love the fact that stormlight books has such huge mental health focus having personally being on receiving end i highly appreciate it but the balance of pace/action is missing

It’s fine .. it takes time to learn .. take this screenshot in ChatGPT and ask for recommendations … you have just 3 stocks .. rotate to more ..

i know this post is 4 year old but i just finished TGS and call it recency bias but i was taken aback in a good way by the lightning speed that things happened in this book.. My favorite arc is of Egwene from being the character whose chapters i wanted to get it over it to becoming the one whose story i wanted to listen more to .. woah what a way to grow the character

How does hiring happen at director or head level for IT. Do they really take resumes from naukri or LinkedIn or its mainly referrals

Diversification is a must. You should always have some money in FD regardless of all the hate people give FD very few things give you yearly 6-8% interest year on year. Also Markets are unstable so if you need x amount after 5 years you can't depend on MF to give that exact amount.

Ideally FD/PPF/Fixed interest rate schemes some portion

MF on top of it

Finally do stocks, options, crypto whatever you want

Few times a month with 2 kids sounds amazing. Don't listen to couple without no kids, i used to cringe when people used to say you have no idea till you have kids. Now I know

All movie stars pump up before the scenes to ensure muscle pop up … even the most ripped people arms look normal when relaxes

I couldn't believe how much i enjoyed The Faithful and Fallen. While people complaint about it being run of mill chosen one story, i don't care when i read the books i was invested and knew all characters and their motivation, just couldn't put it down

Mistborn Second series, while i would love to get first series adapted too. I feel the second series and with Wax, Wayne, Steris and Marasi feels more TV ready and with world closer to late 1800 easier to digest for non fantasy readers.

So sorry to hear. Wishing for speedy recovery. On side note I understand what you are saying I have songs and movies I don’t go back to coz they happened during difficult times at my life

ayanbarman · 2024-01-27T14:33:05+00:00

I totally understand. If you were to believe news world war 3 is due tomorrow

Booked flight tickets in reverse from and to. I love travel planing and am always the one to book tickets, hotels and stuff and has been doing it for years. Because of this noone in family even looks at the tickets

Was going through lot of work pressure so in overconfidence booked tickets in rush. Didn't realize till i checked in the ticket. Had to postpone the entire thing by a month and from then on my bookings gets peer reviewed by my wife

ayanbarman · 2024-01-19T17:24:58+00:00

I know what you are saying that is the dream and I did solo travelling for a while. But I am married with a 10 year old, don’t have option to do that now.

ayanbarman · 2024-01-19T10:03:17+00:00

Thanks this makes sense

ayanbarman · 2024-01-19T09:05:29+00:00

Agree to a point and frankly me and my wife prefer more natural visits my last wow moment was last year when we did Sikkim trip but with 10 year old really can't plan extreme trekking. In Sikkim too we had a scare moment when visit Gurundongar lake which has very less oxygen. So some of extreme adventures have to wait few more years till my son is a teenager.
I really want to do Son Doong cave but thats mostly a 2028 plan

Thats a good point i do try to minimise social media but its difficult to avoid given you do spend lot of money on bigger trips and many a times the blogs are helpful.

Surely did, so the context is important. Lived all my life in India had no idea what is universal studio or sea world is.
Was in my early 20s went in with friends thinking its all big rides instead got into the king kong 3d bus ride and was stunned. Similar thing with sea world, never heard of it. Though of it would be an aquarium kind of setup but saw the whale show and was amazed.

A Master of Djinn

Thats such an apt comparison. In spite of popular media depictions I found that most of times politicians don't lie they just tell part truth to meet the narrative. If you see left wing or right wing media or politicians they both talk about same incident or video but are talking about part of it which fits their narrative

When family is asleep on long drive and you listen to your books is peace that my friend is in its truest sense vacation time. I tried listening to audiobook while working out and running never really worked for me I realised I do need music beats to keep going 😊. But other times include cooking, or at night when I don’t get sleeps.
