A PICTURE NEWSLETTER

​

This week, I will share a pic from every day of the past week, that was a highlight of the day :)
Let me know what you think about this experiment.

Went to the Faridabad Property Registrar last Tuesday, where I saw this wall. Can you guess what this is?
Thumbprints!
Every seller has to place their thumbprint on the sale deed, and after they are done, they try to erase the ink by wiping it off the wall. Unreal!

Then on Wednesday, I went for an event with Dell Technologies, unveiling their latest PC products. LOVED the curved monitor, which I want to buy this year :))

Thursday, I visited the head office of Penguin Random House (in Gurgaon). WHAT AN AWESOME OFFICE - this is the one I would make for myself, if I ever had one :))

Same evening, I was invited for the $1B annual revenue milestone event at Coforge (in Greater Noida). Had a good chat with the CEO, Sudhir and spoke to a lot of Coforge employees (all of whom btw got an iPad, celebrating the occasion! 21,000+ of them. Wow.)

In all of this, didn't miss a single day of workout, nope! :))

Saturday and Sunday, had a team workshop going through all the processes we have and redesigning them. In picture are Piyush (our YouTube editor) and Shaurya (our data lead).

Sunday, went to play Tennis in Delhi (I play everyday in our housing complex itself - so going to Delhi is rare), with a friend, at the RK Khanna Tennis Complex. Quite awesome.

Tuesday, met with my first boss in life (Anshuman) at their lovely place in Mumbai. In picture are Anshuman, Ruchi (my wife), Anushree (Anshuman's wife) and me.

And here I am on Wednesday morning, writing this newsletter for all of you, overlooking the lovely streets of Mumbai :)))

Have a happy happy weekend all of you lovelies.

📕 Book I'm reading this week

Finished reading Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung?: Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties by Ajahn Brahm.
Joyful book - would definitely recommend for an easy read, if you like to read light books that make you learn.

Over the weekend, I watched my first Anime movie - Suzume, with my team. It was a brilliant experience - the storytelling is so powerful, the animation was gripping (and vivid), and the capture of human emotions was breathtaking. I have been recommended a lot of Anime titles - and I am looking forward to it :))

🗣️ Response to last week's question

Last week I asked all of you: Do you sleep in the afternoon?

Here are the results:

While most people said they sleep if they have the time or inclination, the details are interesting beyond that.
1. Notice how, "can't sleep because I do not have the time", spikes in the 20s and 30s - which is when most of us are working!
2. Notice how as one grows old, the desire to sleep in the afternoon increases.
3. Notice how across ALL ages, people are still forced to sleep in the afternoon haha!

My answer:
I have always loved sleeping in the afternoon. My mom used to make me sleep while in school, then it went away as a habit when I started working and in the past 3 years it has come back. It is so joyful, as every Pune, Kolkata, and Goa resident will tell you :))
