Its so enriching to see that people finally opening about how to utilise the gods given treasure . 

I ll share how I ve ahd managed , managing , will manage . 

You have to admit that nobody likes to  re read Spectrum , Lakshmikanth etc . Obviously , we are doing a tiresome thing to our mind already . 

so weight lifting is again going to be  a mentally driven tiresome activity . I am speaking about the long term . You can lift for one month comfortably with all that demi god motivation , Eat OMAD, Intermittent , Green tea and what not . 

But Please hear this without Judgemental , Nothing is going to help you if you fail to practice all these  in a sustained manner, So Practice all these diets only you can inculculate in your following years to come by . 

Try to Find protein in your regular diet with soem moderation. You cant expect a South Indian to eat Bread an Pea nutter for the rest of his life. He will relapse soon . 

so where was I ? On hitting the Gym etc , Hit mostly 3 days a week with compound lifts for a years  . More than enough with adequate protein . 

DONT TRY TO BE DAVID GOGGINS . period. 

Treat your mind and body kind in these prep days. 

Best of luck !

The wheels of time was also very decent(though expected much more considering I have read that book). Rosamund pike holds the linchpin as Moraine around which other roles have done decent work. Rand Al Thor should have been some other energetic teen like Timothee Chalamet. 

I should check this out then

I bought netflix on Jan 17th . I didnt watch even a minute. Is there a word for too many choices making us indecisive? Will this thread judge me? 

Paradox of choices

I only read books for escapism now, so I’m short on non fiction recommendations :))

Non fiction is in itself a very broad canvas. Would help if you could narrow it down to some themes :P


Anyway, some books that you might find interesting: 

  • Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond
  • 1971: A Global History of the Creation of Bangladesh by Srinath Raghavan
  • India's China Challenge by Ananth Krishnan (not just your usual IR book)
  • Bluets by Maggie Nelson (lyrical essays about life)

@LetsGetThisBread Yes please, narrow down preferences. But,

1. Despite the State (M. Rajshekhar)
2. False Allies (Manu S Pillai)
3. Saving Us (Katharine Hayhoe)
4. Indians (Namit Arora)
5. The long game (Vijay Gokhale) - Excellent narration of Chinese checkers. Couple with@Archand 'ssuggestion for a wholesome China package.
6. Wanderers, Kings, Merchants (Peggy Mohan)
7. Humankind (Rutger Bregman)

The Long Game was a great read for me. Last chapter should probably be read by anyone interested in China! There is another book by Samir Saran called Pax Sinica that talks about a China led world order. You might find it interesting :)
