New Year Resolutions - Week 16 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 16 also focussed on a lot of launch events and movies. I really enjoyed my time this week on Planet Earth.

1. Entertainment - I watched a lot of movies starting from as old as Satte pe Satta starring Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. The movie has a great storyline along with some of the great songs I still love to sing along like Dilbar Mere, Mausam Mastana and Pyar Humein Kis mod pe le aaya.

Then I went on to watch another movie - A Man Named Otto starring Tom Hanks that really tells you a lot of humanity and kindness. These are the two things you have to live for and imbibe in your everyday behaviour. I also completed the second season of Rocket Boys and it was really an eye-opener.

I also watched another movie Kanjoos Makhichoos starring Kunal Khemu and it's really a satire on the government officials and some of the money that's granted by the government in case of death during natural calamities or accidents. I also watched some episodes of Kapil Sharma Show on Youtube but it is shorter as the songs etc are all taken out so you don't enjoy it as much as you will on SonyLiv or Sony TV live.

2. Launch Events - I attended the YuLife Insurance media invite lunch event at The Leonardo in Sandton. It was really a great meeting to know more about the insurance products and the market as a whole. I asked a lot of questions and the team replied to me with sincerity and humbleness. I also attended their second event for a few minutes which was for the general public and came back home after eating some breakfast at The Tryst. I am still using this app to take care of my mental and physical health as there are great apps integrations with other apps to do meditation and exercises.

Another event I attended was for Bambanani introducing an app for primary and pre-primary school kids to learn and grow their skills. Another book launch I attended for Jess Robus and a wine expo where I got bored as I don't drink so was drinking cold water in a wine glass. Some of the events you should say no to from the start as I knew that the time is going to get wasted in them. Decide what to do with your time rather than going for new.

There was another online event for YouTube Shorts - PullUpYoShorts that I attended. This year so far I have not received anything from YouTube as a gift. All gifts that I have received are from the last year.

3. Thank You - I carried on my counter to start from 7000 onward to complete it to 24000 and then it remained at that mark for the rest of the week.

4. Humanz - I did another campaign for them on Twitter and I really love the same as it earns me some amount of cash that I can use to buy stuff I really want or don't want at all. Some of this is spent on impulse shopping for sure.

5. YouTube - I posted around 4 long-form videos during the course of this week. I really enjoyed opening my first Kaweco Brass Sport Fountain Pen that's really heavy. Also, I enjoyed opening up the goodies received from Melon Mobile and YuLife Insurance App. Some of the goodies are already being owned by people who know me as I generally give them away to my family and friends who want to use them and enjoy them on their special days like birthdays and anniversaries.

I hope you are enjoying my videos and these articles as I look forward to bringing you a personal touch to my mindset and activities that I am spending my time on. It may look like a waste of time afterwards but you can decide for yourself if the same has helped you grow or made you think in any way then it's for the best. Enjoy your small life here on Planet Earth as extinction is near just like Dinosaurs thought they will outlive the planet but change is the only thing that will remain consistent.

Aum Namah Shivay!

Till next time...Aashish

Thanks! Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 14 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

April 2023 is the month when you feel that things are getting picked up in terms of launch events and other tasks.

1. Daily Yoga - After taking a break from Yoga thinking that I will be able to do it myself, I have rejoined the daily online classes. This has been the best habit to follow all your life.

2. Entertainment - This week I watched a movie premiere of AIR that I really wanted to watch. It was a great event with free popcorn and cold drinks. The movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis and others. This is definitely a one-time watch as there is some detail shown in the movie. Else you can also read the book by Phil Knight. Also, I watched The Great Indian Murder Season 1, which I wanted to see on the Disney Plus streaming platform. There is really a sad turn of events in the web series as you will fall in love with various characters of the web series.

3. Thank You - I started around 61000 and reached 81000 by the end of the week. As told in my previous posts this is one of the best practices as told by Ken Honda in his book The Happy Money.

4. Humanz - I got my first payment from the Humanz app for a campaign I did on Twitter long back. any kind of cash payment is always good and you can then buy some stuff using the money earned.

5. YouTube - YouTube video creation is my favourite activity and I do a lot of scripting these days. The easiest way to create a video is to think about the video well in advance and prepare the ideas that you want to communicate. I always try to jot them down and then let the flow take its turn. I always love impromptu speeches and videos because that is my true reaction that is being captured but it doesn't do justice with the detailed product reviews as sometimes I may miss telling you some details that you guys have queries on. That's why it's always good to write down some important points that you want to discuss in the videos.

The first three months of the Year 2023 are gone by and now we are in the second quarter I feel really sad during this month as the annual appraisal letter comes with a new salary and I see none to zero growth leading to a lot of anger and irritation but unless I take steps to resolve it this problem will remain like that year after year. I look forward to correcting the same asap.
