Boomer Intellectualism #16
Hi there,
I have started doing meditation and I find it quite helpful: helps me in clearing clutter from the mind, staying focused on tasks a little bit more, and nothing more. I am doing this with a guided meditation video from Sam Harris. It is of 30 minutes and so far right now I am able to do it in one go except if someone does not interrupt me with something important. Furthermore, I have also applied for a passport and have gotten an appointment date of 22 February for which I am quite excited. I also need to attend a very important function today in my close circle. I am a bit worried about what am I going to wear cause you need to dress yourself as who you are and how you want others to perceive you and I want everybody to perceive me as someone with intellectual curiosity, smart and good looking cause all this is important to make friends and have a value of your opinion in a stressed conversation.
Song/Artist/Playlist Recommendation :
Nu Genea - I found out about this artist today in the afternoon after I was done studying and wanted to relax for a while which turned out to be 3 hours. I will say play them when you are cooking, cleaning or maybe when you’re writing as I am doing right now.
Udh Chaliye - I found this again when I was yesterday in my gym lifting too heavy. Play it when you are driving on a lonely dark dusty road.
Diljit Dosanjh - This guy is a legend when it comes to punjabi music. I used to listen to him when I was around 13; now I am 17 and I am still listening to him. Play his albums when you are going on a long drive with your friends to Goa or somewhere you booze out for all day and just never see this absurd world with your shiny precious eyes.
Books Recommendation :
Letters to his father - A book comprising letters written by Franz Kafka for his abusive father. Read this to accept that maybe it is ok to hate your parents if they abuse you regardless of them feeding you every single day of childhood.
I don’t think I have anything else for you this week. I am actually in a bit of hurry because of a function, as I told you earlier , I am attending today where I have to reach by till 8:30 PM. But before that, I need to figure out what I have to wear.
Bye
