What Keeps Me Grounded.

๐Ÿ“š Reading Books & Listening to Audibles

Books have been one of my biggest gateways to transformation. Iโ€™m drawn to non-fiction, especially in areas like self-mastery, psychology, ancient wisdom, and deep tech. Whether itโ€™s a physical book or an Audible on the go, I use reading as a tool to sharpen my mind and expand perspective. Authors like Robert Greene, Sadhguru, Dale Carnegie, and Cal Newport have shaped how I think about life, focus, and purpose. On days when I don't feel like being a bookworm, I go to audible by Amazon. This app offers thousands of audiobooks exactly the same as the physical version. This allows me to listen to good stuff, evolve, and absorb knowledge through audible energy.

๐Ÿ“ฟ Spiritual Practice

Beyond the screen, my life is deeply rooted in spiritual discipline. I try to follow a Vedic-based path that keeps me anchored in purpose and presence. Daily mantra chanting, periodic temple visits, and meditative silence are my recalibration points for my mind, creativity, and integrity. I enjoy learning about spirituality and all the wisdom it has to offer. I tend to dive into subjects related to spiritual practices around the globe, with a major focus on Indian spiritual practices. Particularly from Sanatana Dharma and Buddhist teachings. My spiritual journey is about clarity. It teaches me patience when debugging, humility when learning, and discipline in my work. It reminds me that energy matters whether it's from a machine running code or through an intention behind a conversation. This connection to something timeless gives me a strange but useful edge: I can zoom out when things get messy. I can detach from noise and stay centered on what really matters.

๐Ÿฅ‹ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I enjoy physical workouts and visit the gym in the mornings which jump-starts my day. I have grown a profound interest in martial arts and thought learning some self-defense would be good for me. I started learning grappling martial arts called Jiu-Jitsu. I am learning with Team Renzo Gracie Ooma in Winnipeg at Don't Survive Thrive Academy. I practice 5 to 6 days a week learning Jiu-Jitsu and practising what I have learned with my peers. I have grown so much interest in it that I see myself competing in local tournaments in the nearby future. (Maybe 2026 summer๐Ÿ˜)

๐ŸŽง Music Production

I enjoy music and every form of it. I find music very fascinating that how it influences one's emotions and feelings when listening to it. The vibrations, frequencies, instruments, and arrangement everything is interesting about music. I have started to learn electronic music production, which fascinates me the most being a computer guy. I own a midi controller on which I am learning Ableton Live production. I have enrolled myself in a course which keeps me engaged and feeding me new information every week.
