OC

I was just walking by when this tiny little soul looked at me like we had known each other forever.
No barking, no drama, just a quiet approach towards me and a few seconds later, he climbed into my hands, stretched out those tiny paws, and suddenly decided my arms were his comfort zone.

Saw this Mercedes Benz roadster sitting in the corner of a random garage, on my trip to Dehradun last month.
The mechanic there told me that it once belonged to the famous actor Hritik Roshan, though i have my speculations about that. I don’t remember anything about its year and engine specifications.

It is still turning heads on the road even though it’s done and dusted or maybe just waiting for another life.

One of my friends recently modified his car completely on his own — from installing the reflectors to fitting the F1-style diffuser. No professional shop, no shortcuts, just pure passion, patience, and countless hours of learning and experimenting by himself.

Watching someone turn interest into actual craftsmanship is honestly inspiring. Most people just admire cars, but he decided to get his hands dirty and build something that reflects his own vision.

Crazy what genuine interest and dedication can turn a person into.

Started with random Kinder Joy surprises and now I’m genuinely interested in collecting action figures.
These Spider-Man multiverse Marvel figures (Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Rhino, Lizard and Venom) are actually my first ever collection, and honestly they sparked a whole new hobby for me. Planning to slowly switch to bigger and more detailed action figures next.

I know these aren’t exactly proper action figures, so go easy on me. This is where my collection journey starts.

Didn’t expect a Kinder Joy gift to start a Marvel collection journey. Feel free to give me some suggestions on how to properly start collecting and which Marvel figures are good for beginners.

Got my car’s throttle body checked today and it was completely filled with carbon and oily dirt. The car had rough idle and throttle response also felt slow, so now I know the reason.
It’s cleaned now, but I wanted some suggestions on how to stop this from happening again in the future.

Does fuel quality make a difference?
Should I take the car on highway drives more often?
After how many kms should throttle body cleaning be done?
Are fuel additives useful?

Would appreciate some simple tips from experienced owners.

Dad bought it, and when it was barely 6 months old, he started teaching me how to drive in it. I still remember being scared to even take it out on the road without stalling it every 2 minutes 😭
He would sit beside me patiently saying, “slowly leave the clutch” while I kept messing up.

The best thing about this City was how smooth and reliable it always felt. Never gave drama, just stayed with us through every phase.
Today, watching someone else drive it away honestly felt weird.
Felt like a small part of my memories went with it too.

Bye bye buddy 🥹🚗

Waited 1.5 years to finally post this. Started at 70kgs with almost no muscle mass and a skinny frame. Currently sitting at 83kgs after consistently training, eating properly, and staying patient through the slow phases.

My entire transformation was built around consistency more than anything fancy. I followed a double body-part split throughout most of the journey which helped me train with higher volume and frequency while still recovering well.

Diet
I kept my diet simple but protein and carb rich throughout the bulk.
High protein meals daily
Carb-heavy meals for energy and recovery
Eggs, milk, oats, paneer, roti, rice, soya chunks, chicken occasionally
Tried to stay in a calorie surplus consistently
Approx protein intake: 130–150g daily
Supplements: Whey protein + creatine

I didn’t follow an extremely strict “bodybuilder” diet, but I made sure I hit my calories and protein consistently.

Workout Split
Double body-part split style training:
Chest + Triceps
Back + Biceps
Shoulders + Abs
Legs + Arms
Repeat with variations/intensity changes

Focused heavily on:
Progressive overload
Consistency over perfection

Biggest Learnings
Eating enough is just as important as training hard
Progress feels slow until you compare old pictures
Recovery and sleep matter a lot more than beginners think
Consistency for 1.5 years beats motivation for 1 month

Still not at my final goal physique, but proud of how far I’ve come naturally. Open to suggestions, critiques, or questions.

Every night after coming back from the gym, I see these two puppies near my building.

At this point, they already recognize me. The moment they hear my footsteps, their tiny tails start wagging and they come running toward me like I’m the best part of their day.

Some days I bring biscuits. Some days bread. And some days, honestly, I’m just tired and sit there with them for a minute while they climb over my shoes asking for a little attention and love.

It’s strange how quickly they started trusting me.
Watching them share food melts me every single time. Even when they’re hungry, they still keep nudging each other, playing around, and staying close like they know they only have each other in this world.

I genuinely wish I could adopt them. I’ve thought about it so many times. But I live with flatmates right now, and it just isn’t possible.So for now, all I can do is show up every night after the gym with a little food, a few pats on the head, and hope they understand that someone out there cares about them.🧡
