This is what I've decided to do for my 28th Year

31st January 2021 - Raviteja Gullapalli

Hurray!!! I've turned 28 today. As usual, It's that day of the year to stop and reflect. Looking back, at all the beautiful moments and equally shitty moments that I've successfully overcome to become the person that I'm today.

Also, today is that auspicious day when we try to make changes in our life style looking forward to the future ahead of us. I was on a call with a friend when it struck me that I spend too much time socializing, scrolling and swiping. Pandemic made all of us glued to our mobile phones to such an extent that it's is a tremendouswaste of time.

Parallely a Month back while I was at kbr, I've deviced a game plan for my top 10 things to do this year. Here's the list.

1) A good gmat score. (99-100 %ile). No particular reason, but I always wanted a good score.

2) abs. Pushing my workouts to the next level. My daily workout schedule is on the front page. Do check it out.

 (...my insta bio after these two would be...that nerd with abs 😂😂...although it's not gonna happen)

3) At-least one high altitude trek. Sub 5000-7000 mts. This is a must. Hit me up, let's do it together. 

Also, a mountain challenge is coming your way, watch this space.

4) Very minimal online presence. I'll be active here for the purpose of writing. So this is where you'll find me. To do this, I've enabled the Ultra battery saver mode on my POCO F1, where I chose to use only use 6 apps as below.

5) Road trips and photography. I'm a sucker for road trips. I need to acquire those DSLR skills while travelling too.

6) Convert my 390cc 45 bhp motorbike to an e-motorbike. And I'll vlog the whole thing. Still figuring out the right direction, but watch this space, may happen soon.

7) Get a job, that pays well. I sincerely hope my tech enthusiasm will put me in a position to achieve this. Go check out my résumé. I don't believe in degrees and colleges. I believe in skills, talent and mostly the enthusiasm to learn something new.

8) set the strings right in music. Learn stuff. Build an audience.

9) Atleast 25 books this year. Totally a possible target. And I shall write about some of my reads here.

10) Figure out my investments. High time that I should be going all in 💸 this year.

By the time my next birthday approaches, let's see how these 10 simple but powerful goals progress. Wish me luck. So this is what I'm up to this year.

Peace. RT.
