Back from a Break

…Unexpected trials of life

So the inundated fact about staying home and experiencing life is like a volume of archetypal hierarchy. There is a constant experience when you are alone and mostly less interaction with people around. Due to COVID 19, our quality and quantitative socialising have dropped considerably with people no matter good or bad. Now we can only speak or talk to them on consistent or inconsistent phone calls, Skype, Zoom, Google talks, Teams. The list is endless. A minute millimetre of something has totally swayed the human race like no other. They say our future lies in the choices we make in the present. So I proactively took this and used the quality time to engage myself in all kinds of online activities and experience what I missed during the days when I was just working a 9-6 job. It was a totally new kind of dimension now. I just kind of experience a new kind of living amidst the pandemic situation. In a way, I thoroughly enjoyed the kind of online courses I got enrolled in at Coursera. This particular website has all the answers for a productive mind.

If you feel bored and lonely and confused about personal and professional issues, improvise your skill. Enrol on a new course and experience the difference. Your time will be so much occupied and above all one won’t have time to worry about anything, and the best part is there are several free courses available at Coursera. If you do not want any certificate and just improvising a skill, you can simply enrol for a free course. It is a great way to engage oneself in something productive,

The next option to get occupied during the COVID19 stay home is to enrol in some yoga programs. The best offered, in my knowledge, is the Inner Engineering program by the Isha Foundation. Click on the link and brace yourself with more details and information. After the Inner Engineering program, one can enrol to complete the IE completion program, known as the Sambhavi Mahamudra. To understand more about meditation and how it really affects our body, I came across this site where there have been relevant details about all the necessary information that one keeps on asking about the effects and experiences with the kriyas and meditation.

Meditation itself is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state.

I would experience all kinds of kriyas, and also the fruits of the kriyas and asanas are totally how one perceives and reciprocates to it.

That being said, it’s time for me to end my blog by saying stay safe, friends and enjoy your home alone or with people proactively, and don’t forget to get vaccinated.

The Vaccine Draft :)

Hello Friends,

I was gone for a while, as I had some full swing online courses going on with Coursera and finally some ounce of solitary laziness with all fresco of emotional condiments of quagmire impossible excuses. I am a lazy doughnut that keeps on being laid back once in a while. But I was also in the process of thinking and analysing about the most important element that has shaken mankind to the brim. Yes, you got it right, our existence notifier, “Corona Virus”, so when I finally wanted to get vaccinated, I made some mental notes.

The first is the pros and cons of the vaccine, which is Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. 

General Information

Name: BNT162b2

Manufacturer: Pfizer, Inc., and BioNTech

Type of Vaccine: mRNA

Number of Shots: 2 shots, 21 days apart

How Given: Shot in the muscle of the upper arm

According to the data from the web, this is the information which I found from the web.

DescriptionPfizer-BioNTech (mRNA)Moderna (mRNA)Janssen (viral vector)
Active ingredientNucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2Nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2Recombinant, replication-incompetent Ad26 vector, encoding a stabilized variant of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) protein

Ref: Vaccine Info

* None of the vaccines contain eggs, gelatin, latex, or preservatives. In addition, all COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earth alloys or any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, or nanowire semiconductors.
Note: Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG is a primary ingredient in osmotic laxatives and oral bowel preparations for colonoscopy procedures, an inactive ingredient or excipient in many medications, and is used in “pegylation” to improve the therapeutic activity of some medications (including certain chemotherapeutics). Also, cross-reactive hypersensitivity between PEG and polysorbates (an excipient in some vaccines and other therapeutic agents) can occur. 

I think every person react differently to the vaccine. I was a bit nervous and anxious and wondered what impact it might lead on me. After seeing some of my friends and hearing so much from different people from various walks of life, I decided to share my personal thoughts on the same. Like it or not, it’s just like a safety net, and we have no choice. It’s a support, but I felt for some time after the dose was a bit drowsy and feverish. Above all, my hand was painful. Although the fever subsided after 2-3 hours, the weird, funny sensation was there. I don’t know which terms to use here. But it’s always good to go, like better late than never.

People stay safe and get vaccinated.

Wear your mask

The Hard Copy

Hard Copy II

There is this continuous game of life with money, technology and phobia. 

“Yes, you got that right. I am not talking in the abstract messages, and it is with the fact. Let us take up an incident that has shaken the world in leaps and bounds Covid19.

COVID 19 ( Most unexpected pandemic)

Fact Sheet: A virus that officially generated took shape in a place called Wuhan in China. People identified it as the “Wuhan Virus.” It is something like some AI scenario, where a person is infected not from a common ailment or animals, but people. But did we ever expected that something with such atrocity will shape our lives to the fullest. In a fraction of seconds virus spread and deaths occurred. It just was something which we understood that we are mortal and we will die. This pandemic has showed us and maybe have taught us one grave lesson that all of us must take it to our graves, and that hard reality is ‘ Man is Mortal ‘

It is an essential aspect of life where we are assigned new dimensions and thought processes, but it doesn’t work as we are, mostly subjected to our designed pitfalls, just like debts. You see when you are aware that you can’t repay your interest for a new car or a bike. That whichever pretty thing has caught your attention, you go ahead with this presumption of getting it. Through some instant loans available in the bank, you forget that it’s a time centric pleasure.

You realise that if you experience some harsh realities, maybe an accident or something worse, reduction or lack of funds in your account that you did not calculate and decided upon correctly.

Covid 19 is like a brutal checklist for the first-hand realisation that we have experienced too early and have understood the deep meaning of what life is all those hard-earned degrees and scores. The uncertainties of ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ don’t make any sense actually with the current mortal combats happening worldwide. We must safeguard ourselves consciously and experience what life has to offer. 

All those Harvard degrees are futile now cause we must take care of our health and longevity and not worry about degrees and social gatherings.

The aspect of life and everything one has read from all these make belief worlds is genuinely chaotic.  

How can you discover a new life and a new living during these challenging times is a question. I am not here to guide you with a life’s lesson plan, but I can give you one free piece of advice. 

” Follow hygiene (SOPS) and live in this moment.”  

( NOW) (NOW) (NOW ) that should be the mantra.

Friends, I just completed my Inner Engineering, and it just worked wonders for me. I will post my next blog with some details and share some of my insights to those wondering what it is?  

If you want to experience the now of your life with the ability to respond consciously, then you would be just fine. Live in this moment. This moment won’t come back tomorrow, and if you don’t understand the difference you need to get it sooner or else you have to reach through variations that life will offer.

I will write more and explore some new finance related concerns with you all who once a while reads my free thoughts 🙂

2+2=4

Writers are among the most sensitive, most intellectually anarchic, most representative, most probing of artists. The writer’s ability to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange, and to mystify the familiar – all this is the test of her or his power.” Paulo Coelho (The Zahir)

A writer who is free from dogmas and doesn’t care about the words he uses or constructs his plot with his or her free-thinking, well, those types of people might not make you rich but will share with you simple living. They do well – ithinkfree 🙂

Like everyone who loves watching YouTube videos, I am no less. I enjoy some helpful self-learning videos. Today I will share the best videos from which you can genuinely learn and use for your informal learning.

So much so you need not spend that extra cash on Skillshare or Udemy.
I think the essential option and way to save money is how you save the money.

You can’t have 2min maggie noodles every day for dinner and kill your emotional well being just because you are holding that extra cash. Keep saving but spend wisely for which you genuinely need to spend your money. Always have a healthy meal, be it cooked or a vegan salad, but make sure you eat with your pita or rice and add some lean proteins as well. Always remember this crucial fact, do not sacrifice essential things for saving money. You must know what will add value to your life.

There is nothing like a good home-cooked meal and a lesson learned from a great Youtube video.

The simple truth of living and understanding life is what you spend every time, which is probably a big fix to several issues you experience with other problems you might not have thought of ever.

Listed below are few links who I had followed and understood without spending any dime or a dollar.

Tyler Moore specialist in web design with lot of clear information.

The Green Machine the art of aquascaping. Everybody must invest some quality time in some hobby, be it photography or writing.

Sync Mind – Binaural Beats Meditation, these Sessions can awaken and inspire people to change their lives, bringing a sense of love, joy, inner peace, success, confidence, and stress relief.

Sadhguru is a yogi, mystic, bestselling author, and poet. Absolute clarity of perception places him in a unique space, not only in matters spiritual but in business, environmental and international affairs, and opens a new door on all that he touches.

Green Renaissance they on a journey to inspire change – creating beautiful, meaningful stories.

There are quite some more I had followed and eventually unfollowed within a period of time. In fact, we must not enroll for paid courses if we think it won’t help us or just go for it on a trial and error option. That is the most wrong way to calculate your mental 2+2 = 4

I believe we and our sensible thinking makes two of us, in our decisions we make. Please don’t dwell in other people’s splendid ideas where you need to spend money. Your 2$ is your hard earned money, no matter in whichever form you have earned it. Keep that 2$ and treat yourself a popsicle someday but please do not enroll for courses that doesn’t make sense to you.

The $$$$ Game

There is something evident about money-saving methods. One can understand the importance of it with time as one gets older and face situations. Life indeed is genuinely a great teacher, like some patron to understand the fundamental realities life offers. So much so that we do not understand its importance till we are in that situation called ‘life’.

Let us start with something that is around you, for example, a 1$ coin.

A lot of us have a collection of colorful mason jars. Today, before you go to bed or retire at night, make sure to bring out one of your mason jars unused and lying in one corner. Wash it nicely with warm water and salt. They say anything that is cleaned with salt gets free from negative vibes.
After cleaning with a dry cloth, set it somewhere near your table so that you can actually look at it and constantly add your 1$ coins in there. Make sure you do not remove any dime from the jar unless it is packed with coins. Try this simple method from today and see the difference by the jar’s time brimming with money. Honestly speaking, looks quite classy on the table and definitely creates a good chi.

So friends, what are you waiting for? Start your 1$ Savings Plan today.

So much for now, I will definitely come back with more ideas. Stay safe and protected, and do wear your mask.
