My very first newsletter!

I have less than 10 subscribers at this point which are my close friends and family. But I promise to give my 100% to those 10 people and in the future to those 400,000 people. I will share 5 snippets of my life that I think might be useful to you. So let's start this week's edition.😉

Quote that I'm pondering -

'The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.' -

Neil Gaiman.

A cool Life-hack I learned -

Let's say you need a taxi to reach home/hotel and it is 2:00 or 3:00 am. Imagine a scenario where either you are hanging out late on a Saturday night or traveling to a new city.

It is 2:00 am, you're hungry and you just need a taxi. You open Uber, Bolt, Lyft, Ola taxi app in your phone (depending on where you live) and you see that the prices are sky-high! It usually happens every weekend. Now you're stuck and there is no way to reach home in a cheap way.

Don't worry, I got you covered.

Close the taxi app and open a food delivery app instead. Think of the restaurants which deliver food by car. Look for a nearby Pizza, Kebab, or Sushi restaurant which is still delivering food and order food from there to your address. Stand outside the restaurant and tell the delivery guy that it is you who ordered the food and if he can drop you home too since it is only him in his car.

If you're dressed well, you look presentable and you ask him nicely, I am 99% sure he will drop you home with the food since you're paying for food and the delivery anyway.

Podcast I'm listening to on repeat

This man is just a genius. If you listen to him for only 10 mins, I bet he will give you a new perspective. He starts off by saying 'If you go to a circus and see a bear, that's interesting but not much. If you see a unicycle, that's interesting but not that much. But if you see a bear on a unicycle, now that is interesting! So when you combine things you're not supposed to combine, that's interesting. For example - Bruce Lee. He was a combination of Striking, Thoughts, Philosophy, and Martial Arts.

Book I am re-reading-

It is Show your work by Austin Kleon.

This book is a quick read, easy to understand, and filled with tips for upcoming creators like you and me. One of the concepts in this book is to show what you are working on, rather than a sunset or a coffee. The people who share similar interests will find you!

Snippets from my Journal from last year

As you can see that in Feb 22, it was a dream for me to have a website. I had no idea how to code, what is a domain, what is web hosting, etc. But after 11 months, I am finally here writing on my website for 10 people and soon for 100,000 people. who knows?
