2021: The Year in Review

 It looks like I have to repeat my previous year’s post. Well, perhaps everyone feels the same - 2021 is an unusual year. It is a really unusual year for me in a different sense. I didn’t read books, especially after the January 2021. I didn’t do my regular exercises throughout the year. I spent less than 300 mins (avg. less than a minute per day) in the sun. All three is rare. In fact, this could be the first time since I started them. And the worse, there was no reason for why I didn’t do in year 2021. So obviously, I am going to work on these three in year 2022.

The best part of 2021 is the amount of the time I got to spend with the pet animals - Pug, Rabbit, Parrot, and Pigeons. My dad took care of all the cleaning work and made things easy for me. My Pug dog is my all-time favourite and the Rabbits are this year’s favourite. It is really fun playing with them.



Despite the lack of physical activities, my weight stayed in 70-74 range, my favourite. I honestly don’t know how. Started year 2022 with 5 push-ups, and I am sure I will continue to do some activities ;)

It has been a long time since I prepared my last reading list. I hope I can prepare one this year. Stranger Trilogy is a decent one, and I am disappointed with Lean In and Chronicles.

I spent lots of time at work and took sometime to watch Tamil soap opera - Nadaswaram with my mom and read news in Google News in the mobile app. Basically most of my times went looking at one of the three screens ;)


 

Lots of my teammates got married in 2021 and so the gift bar is one of the tallest in the graph. Pet expense is also very high, and it has become usual now. Before COVID, the food bar would look like that of the current year book bar. I ate lots of sweets this year as well. Perhaps I should rename it as sweet category. Book change is a controlled one and the travel expense needs no reason.

We had COVID and dengue at home. It was tough but recovered. I heard about COVID losses throughout the year, like 2020, from the people I know, at times it was heart-wrenching and unacceptable :( I wish this ends very soon.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
