RamSarama
In all these years, I had never wondered about Vibhisena’s wife. I got called to her attention via the dud movie, Adhipurush, where she plays an important part in Lakshmana’s recovery from Indrajit’s vicious attack. She is the one who raises to Rama’s attention, the existence of the Sanjeevani herb that can serve as an antidote to the poisonous wound. This beautiful character garnered controversy for the wrong reasons. Sarama is known to have had a close relationship with Sita when she was at...
RamBack on Course
Have said this a few times in my runner career which is far from illustrious. Having completed 9 full marathons, I am no douchebag either. But only 1/3 of these can I say that I have truly run strong. One of those was in Chicago and the other at Big Sur, the third at Sacramento, and maybe a fourth at San Francisco. But the other 5 have been gasps to the finish line or barely even a finish. Take the one in LA, which ended in Santa Monica, or the one which took me through a steep uphill finish ...
RamHappy 47th AK
AK would have been 47.. but alas! Still in my fond memories. Rushing to catch the same 5B bus as she would, walking back from Adyar Signal for a short furlong or two to Parameshwari Nagar and then a long trek back to my place.. Some things last such a short clock time and yet they last a lifetime in memory. This is an inversion of the Pareto principle where the most memorable incidents are also some of the most extreme emotions that one feels, whether pain, joy, success or of course, love. Re...

RamSub-Atomic Habits
I read James Clear’s book on Atomic Habits and it really struck a chord with me. Whether it was his personal example of recovering from a near-death hopeless situation to becoming a competitive athlete or the examples of 1% improvement with the British cycling team, these are pretty real. More than half the battle is showing up. Of all the things I have ever achieved, other than the one-off freak incidents that I can call fluke, or dumb luck, those have all come from small incremental improvements from just showing up every day.
So, the concept of habits is a strong one and discipline is sticking to those habits no matter what and not letting go. In the spirit of this, I have setup a Dework board that now tracks 10 habits. I don’t expect to get to each one every day, but would like to tracks daily score 0-10 and get to a 7+ each day. This gives me some liberty and flexibility to choose which 3 to skip, but I want to hit 7 each day. If I don’t cover one of the habits on 3 of the 7 days, that will need a review the next week.
Let’s do this! The habits??
Reading
Writing
Meditate
Learning Skill
Build Circle
Side Hustle
Moving - 10k steps
Workout or Lifting
Journaling
Sleeping well
I can already see the ones that are at a risk of being missed more than 3… so let’s do this. The tools I use?
Apple Fitness
Notion
Dework (web3 trello)
Toggl
Headspace
Udemy
Oura
