Recap of the month that went by!
- Me and my fiance (i still feel giddy calling her fiance - i will write a separate post on our whirlwind of a story of how we met and got engaged to be married :)) went to our first ever trip to Goa with our lovely friends!
It was the best time. Goa in monsoons is really something else. We spent the days lounging and exploring hidden beaches and waterfalls in northern most part of Goa and spent the nights at our airbnb - drinking, dancing and talking endlessly.
- I hired a personal trainer and finally started working out. It's been a good 2 weeks now.
- I am finally getting down to a routine. I wake up by 5:45 AM and get my meditation and goal setting done by 6:45 AM. I leave for the gym by 7:15 AM and come back by 9:15 AM. I then start my GMAT studies by 10 AM which goes on the entire day - at least i am trying to. It's been difficult but i am determined to make the best of my days.

aargh..it's been a month since i actively blogged. That is definitely going to change. My goal is to be a better writer and this blog will help me doing just that. Better writing equals better critical thinking skills and that is what i intend to improve. To consciously write more, i am now employing a writing tool known as freewriting. It's interesting really - freewriting is a writing strategy developed in 1973. It's where you write continuously for a set time without worrying about grammar, spelling, or anything like that. A pure stream of consciousness. I have been freewriting for 2 days now and it has led me to explore really interesting themes to write.

Bearblog uses Markdown syntax and i am still getting used to it - its actually fun. I managed to learn a bit of CSS and coded a easy markdown editor for my bearblog dashboard. I wanted something like a Microsoft Word Document - and the final product does that beautifully.

Feeling good about progress. Created /status page like mgx.me/status. Will try to update this daily like a running log.

Wrapped up GMAT Quant session. Getting more confident with number properties. CSS debugging was a pain, but satisfying once fixed.
