So, I nominated myself for the e-cell committee at my college and had a lot of fun. I did a lot of cool stuff - specifically designing a survey and getting a pulse of the batch regarding the perception of the entrepreneurship cell and then designing solutions around those responses. I also unknowingly created a catchphrase while designing the survey, which ultimately led to me printing a t-shirt with that quote. At the end, I lost the election. It very disappointing because it seemed like I caught the interest of the batch really well and held the attention during the pitch. But now I am learning to move on. It was fun. Maybe I'll write a separate post about it.
But I think just putting yourself out there publicly, knowing thereβs a chance you might lose, already says a lot about a person :)

I know, i know. I said i'll be consistent. Koshish jaari hai. A lot of things happened over the past year:
- i got married :)
- i got into a great business school - IIM Lucknow's 1 year residential MBA (IPMX). MBA has been living as a quiet dream since 2018, so i am glad i could get into a business school. :)
- back to learning mode: i am knee deep into being an AI generalist. Lot of stuff going on there.
I will write about everything in my blog posts. Stay tuned! :)

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.
