The Diary Game- 09/22/2020- Day 47

Date- 09/22/2020

Tuesday

After a long break, rains back in Bhopal, and spreading cheer, filling the lives of people with joy. It continues for the second consecutive day and a big relief from the humidity, stickiness.

I wake up at 4:35 AM, As soon as I get up I realize it's a rainy day with the sounds of droplets, I went out to the terrace to experience it. I could feel the freshness of a downpour. I did not give a thought to sleep again. Winning the battle of bed is an art and that comes through perseverance. And every time I win that battle, the miraculous morning instills hope in me.

As usual, I had two glasses of lukewarm water, went to the bathroom for the morning hygiene routine. Then I spent 40 mins time for the "yoga & meditation" session, to train my body and mind. I do a range of "asanas and pranayam" and at least 10 mins of meditation daily. This is the time I generally get much peace of the day, the rest of the days are a little chaotic, depending upon the chores.

The birds arrived at my terrace at 6:00 AM. They are always on time. As soon as they arrived, they began to flit from one end of the terrace to the other, and also started chirping at each other. In other words, they express their pleasure being in this place.

Then I head to my study table to engage in my "study and preparation for the exam". I have a certain plan for 2021 with a definite timeline. I am trying my best to put an end to my struggle. I want to be self-sufficient. Once I get a job, I will be financially secure, every time I head to the table, I remind this to myself, and the first thing I write in my notebook is "What is my goal", trying to print the goal in my conscious layer.

I continued studying until 10:30 PM.

I walked down the medicine store, which is just 100 meters away to buy a cough syrup as prescribed by the doctor. For the last two days, I have a cough, not feeling well, having difficulty breathing. I am also suffering from Chronic Bronchitis.

I got my Cough syrup Grilinctus-BM which costs 80 INR(~$1.08).

I had my breakfast: sprouts and jaggery. Generally, my breakfast is always healthy, rich in protein.

I opened my laptop to check my Steem account as well as Steemitblog for daily updates. The Diary Game will come to an end on 25th September 2020. But this journey does not stop here, as we have so many interesting updates from Steemit Team. And this time the topics and subject of engagement are vast & diverse.

I also had to catch up with my busy notification box, I responded to each of the comments. I always love to see an engaging comment, that way the engagement goes deeper, gets more valuable.

I returned to the kitchen at 1:30 PM. I prepared plain dosa.

I had my lunch at 2:00 PM.

As I said earlier I am not feeling well today, so I took rest for one hour. Then from 3:00 PM, I started engaging again in Steem Blockchain. This time I checked Task 5 & 6 in the Newcomers community. I reviewed & curated them, and updated them in the sheet.

We(the CRs from India) are working on the "Best of India" community to create a structure/framework to encourage and reward the talents from India. The target is also to help them achieve 500 SP. The detailed draft is being prepared and will be announced soon from the community account.

I kept myself engaged for the remainder of the day. In the meantime, I also checked ANI News for daily briefings on domestic and Internations News.

In the evening session, I engaged in #thediarygame, visited several daily posts. I also curated the Indian community with the Steemcurator07 account, updated it in my sheet so that I can submit my report later on.

I had my dinner at 9:00 PM. Then went out to the terrace for a stroll. The climate was just awesome.

I stayed up for another hour before retiring to bed.

That concludes my diary.

Signing off now.
