[Self] - empty offering

No exceptional talent, no exceptional suffering. And somehow, I am unable to mourn

Sekiro just feels different

I am not a big gamer. The last game I completed was disco Elysium. And sekiro is sooo beautiful. Because it's not about happiness that one feels when playing a regular game. Its beauty lies in the fact that it empties me in a way that I don't feel guilty afterwards. Firstly, it made me realise that sometimes doing the tough thing could be emptying as well. The game makes me flow in Tao. The only time when I am able to make progress is when I am so locked in that I am not even thinking about progress. And then the game snatches away even that focus. It has this ineffable flavour to it. Not once have I felt like celebrating after defeating a boss. Yet I keep returning to the game. This is my first and probably only play through.

Aagams and sutras

I want to read the holy texts but I can't find the right book. Since I have an inclination towards philosophy, history and ethics, could someone please recommend books with author's name?

The Mightiest Hero

Just finished this. Here are my feelings (please note I am not a Marathi - this detail would convey my feelings better) -

गडपती, भुपती, प्रजापती..

सुवर्णरक्त श्रीपती ।।

अष्टावधान जागृत, अष्टप्रधान दैष्टीत

न्यायालंकार मंडीत, शस्रास्रशास्र पारंगत ।।

राजनीती धुरंधर, प्रौढप्रताप पुरंदर

क्षत्रियकुलावतंस, सिंहासनाधिश्वर ।।

महाराजाधिराज…

राजा शिव छत्रपती महाराजांचा

विजय असो ।।

राजा शिव छत्रपती महाराजांचा

विजय असो ।।

Hentavirus se bhi zyada bhayanak virus in the gym

Yeh gyaanchod virus

I am doing romainian deadlifts and this random dude walks up to me and mid set says to me, "bhai knees straight hone chahiye aur weight ko aage le jao"

I politely said, "bhai, PT chahiye hoga toh sabse pehle tere paas aaunga"

Dude walk off

I continue my work-out and now am doing normal squats, nothing fancy. Dude walks up again, "bhai aise toh knees pe load aayega. Heel ke neeche plates rakh de." A little context, I have literally spent months trying to perfect my form. Leg ka kitna distance aur kab rakhna hai kis ke liye. I literally spent 4 months educating myself.

And all of this happened because evening ke badle morning me gym chala gaya. Dude thinks I am new.

So I did what anyone in my position would do, i.e looked at his legs (which were not great) and simply said, "okay"

15 mins later, I am doing leg press aur knees ko lock nahi kar raha hu. Mid set, dude says, "knees lock karke kar toh calf pe hi hit hoga"

Yes, mid set. I looked at him and said, "me advice sunne ke 2 lakh rupay leta hu. Start up hai mera. Advice sunne ke 2lakh aur apply karne 20 crore."

Not a bad leg day at all. But itna chul hai na logo ko gyaan chodne ka har jagha. Aur woh bhi adhura.

Maybe this was because my wife was there with me and talking to me. So gyaani bro thought yeh kaise first day pe aram se baat kar raha hai ladki se.

Long rant. But please, jaha mauka mile waha apna gyaan na chodein
