I began my day with enthusiasm in my heart and fresh fruits on my plate.

Later in the day, yours truly one and only went around drawing/learning to draw courtesy of a helping hand from the plethora of free online drawing resources(P.S. shoutout to drawabox for providing truly valuable knowledge free of cost to people like me)

By evening I was all set to catch up with catch me if you can. Yep, it is one of those 90s movies you have heard the name of, starring Leonardo DiCaprio- In hindsight, I wonder what will happen to the movie once it crosses the 25-year milestone post release (2027 will be exciting)

my 0.02 cents on my recently developed addiction to Chess.

I have been playing chess on an online platform called chess.com. For the past week I have been mostly playing rapid chess behind the backdrop of my rating going from 500s to 300s, but as the saying goes, “work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen”- Today I ended up winning 3 consecutive matches against a player ranked roughly 170 points ahead me. A weeklong losing streak finally came to an end and I couldn’t have been happier.

my relationship with chess

It has been raining since morning at my place and I have begun to feel chilly (winter is knocking on the door m’lady) // brownie points for people who can guess my place of inhabitance from this comment.

P.S I am working as an intern at a fintech startup- gotta prepare content for them, so off I go…
