Arunkumar's Blog

#Hi! I am Arunkumar. + I am a first year MBA student and currenlty working as a content project manager for a publishing firm. I am a creative curious soul based in Kochi, India. More about me. + Welcome to my little IndieWeb corner - a simple, minimal, text-only blog where I share thoughts, stories, and reflections on life, creativity, and personal growth - unfiltered, original, and straight from the heart. Its a personal hub. Some readers of mine say that I need to call it a diary rather than a blog. But the basic idea of blog is to add my log on a web: web-log. I try to jot down something on everyday basis, its kind of like reflection to me. I really appreciate the part of reading the old posts so to understand what was I thinking on that day, purhaps it was a reflection of my further past. I dont record every happenings, I only record what I feel need to be remembered, give a second thought later; may be even find a solution to the then issue by reflecting from past experiences. + I am not active on any other social media (you may see my account but I am not active; its of no use to deactivate as whatever uploaded on web its for like forever). If you feel to message me or have a conversation with me use my mail to contact: art.arunbhat[at]gmail.com.

# My Thoughts: Thoughts as they come are a perfect reflection of the unfiltered, spontaneous nature of personal musings. 2024 + December > December 22, 2024: A lazy day, and all about preparing for the exam of first semester of my MBA exam. Tomorrow is the exam and I feel so chill though I have not finished studying all. Hope the exam goes well and am able to write whatever I know. All the very best to myself. > December 21, 2024: I went for a movie night with my wife, at Cinepolis near our home; the movie's name is "Riffle Club". The movie is just awsome. A story abour cameradrie and friendship. The story invokes th true essense of skill and patience. The club members and how they welcome two guests to their club is the basic plot of movie. These two guests bring in their problems and the chain of action following them is the basic plot of movie. Need to mention that the movie is purely logical and I really appreciate the action set pieces in the movie. The VFX work has also been commentable. The third act of the film has been binge watching and best at its thrilling moments. > December 17, 2024: Today was a lazy day. I saw the moview Red One on Amazon Prime. The movie was good, the production was good with good cgi. I really loved Chris Evans, playing Jack in the movie. The climax was not well excecuted. I could digest with what a mortal like Jack do such act of fighting a demon in the climax. Overall it was a fun watch. Its after so long seeing a movie with less violence and gore scenes. Later at night, I had two glasses of wine and a cake for dinner with my wife. I also had a cup of noodles to satisfy my appetite. It was so fun. > December 15, 2024: It was hectic day. My parents had stayed a night at my home and the day was too hectic. They left home at morning 5:30 am just to return again at 11:00 am. Then I had go along with my dad at his work place to help him. My wife and mom stayed back home, as they were cleaning the home. We had planned to have a small drive to visit a temple at Kayamkulam which is about 110kms from my home. The roads were risky and had to drive back at 1:30 am in the early morning next day. Reached home only by 2:00am. The trip got me tired. But I woke up at 6:30 am morning as it was the beginning of the work week (Monday, December 16, 2024) > December 7, 2024: Not all days are interesting. Somedays bring challenges, others are mostly boring to me. The boredom strikes hard at points when I have very less work or I am confused. I get confused for my career choices. I am not satisfied with any of the activities I am doing at work. Need to plan what to do next and stay focused. > December 1, 2024: Today is the first day of the last month of 2024. I woke up late in the morning and everything was late by then. Had a brunch as it was a lazy sunday. Yesterday we had gone for shopping some groceries and the required essentials for the month. We returned late. Today morning, after waking up the first task was to clean up yesterdays mess and to organise the items we bought. My wife's aunt left us today and it was a hard hit reality. She was a wonderful person and a great lady. We all will miss you a lot. + November > November 30, 2024: Some days are like today. They drown me into my loneliness and stumble me over the lost oppurtunities. I could have regained my power at various points of my life. But at every juncture I felt helplessness, the vey basic form of negative emotion that drains my energy and bring me back to ground zero. I still know that there is some a ray of hope in things that are in motion around me; but I am not sure how to see, fell and imbibe them to bring things back to normal. My current motto is to not allow the engine to stop, and just somehow manage to find a gasoline station before its too late. > November 29, 2024: I was the host for today's Fun Friday and it went good. Few of my colleagues reached out to me regarding how well my performae of being a host was. I really enjoyed it. My wife cooked beetroot masala Dosa. They were perfecticly cooked. Cooking food often creates great auro within people. > Novemeber 28, 2025: I had a small date night with my wife. We had ice-cream and fruit shakes and burger. Later we had a discussion on planning out my career. Its hard times and we need money to survive. A better job means better money and better life. > Novemeber 27, 2025: I ate Pizza after a long time. Me and my wife bought two veg-pizzas and had our dinner over it. She used to hate pizza before she met me. But I taught how to enjoy it and now she enjoys it more that I do. We both love tandoor-paneer Pizza and the mixed veg pizza with spicy sauces. > November 26, 2025: I bought a novel written by my professor who taught me Sustainability Engineering. He has had a great influence on me and my engineering journey. I still follow and practice the principles he had shared with me. Thank you John Paul. You are a wonderful teacher who inspired a underdog to become and start something in life. > November 25, 2025: I watched Furiosa: A mad max Saga. Chris Hemsworth is worth more than "Thor". Fantastic antogonist. Epic climax. A great story for a prequel. > November 24, 2024: 10:00am the classes started; though its a sunday and no work, I need to stumble upon my PCP classes. I really love the Organizational Behaviour lectures. The prof is really fantastic and discussing practical stuff rather than the usual theory. > November 23, 2024: My MBA classes started and its kind of like one month before the exam. The exams start on 23rd Dec 2024 and span for 7 days till 30th; one paper per > November 17, 2024: I am still figuring out where my expenses are. My expenses have increased in a month and need to start monitoring them.
