my training routine and progress updates

2021-03-21T16:05:00.001-07:00

I've never done this before, I mean not the weight training but tracking the progress like now.

So like many people in instagram and youtube I have now started to track my training, build some muscle and lose some fat.

Not sure how far I would go with kids at home and not so conducive family environment.

But I will keep trying.

I've started this somewhere in Jan 2021, so its been 2 months now.

Here are some pics along the way, may be 17th or 18 th marc 2021

Old telugu actress Jamuna garu in Hindi movies

how to copy 80s Hindi movie and remake it as "ghajini"

2020-04-02T03:07:00.001-07:00

1980's movie called, "Pasand Apni Apni", directed by Basu Chatterjee,

Actors, the great Utpal dutt, Mithun Chakraborthy, Rati Agnihotri.

I felt so sad that A. Murugudas copied the entire story, including dialogues, screenplay, translated to Tamil and remade it as the 1st half of Ghajini, I cant comment on the 2nd half.

Its a pity that this Tamil movie was remade into Hindi, how strange.

Ryan's new language skill

2020-03-25T04:12:00.001-07:00

I have started teaching Ryan on Telugu writing, a year ago, his 2 months holidays in India helped him learn to talk telugu, mostly a different dialect that my inlaws speak.

Upon my inlaws advice, i started speaking to him in telugu since feb 2019, i think Ryan has been slowly registering the words in his dictionary.

Now he is back from holidays, he is showing all his learnings, he is reading telugu books with a bit of help from me though, i felt incredibly happy, that's the fruit of my labor.

I am proud to say that I am his first Teacher, we both have been reading hundreds of books since he was 2yrs, i know this will help him a lot in future.

Since we planted one small strawberry plant 18 months ago, it multiplied and crawled, this summer we got good harvest, and now towards the end of summer the strawberries are flowering rapidly and producing fruits in abundance with no help from me literally, nature ofcourse is doing its job, look at one of them, its huge.

Experiment with growing Rose plants from cuttings

2020-02-16T01:16:00.001-08:00

Our Rose plant in our front yard is growing branches quite wildly and bending over our neighbour's driveway, so i cut few branches and after watching few videos in Youtube found out how to plant the cuttings, they say we need to cover the planted cuttings with plastic or something similar to build moisture and protect from sun, I did that now, ll see what happens in a week's time.

Here is the picture after a few months, i didnt monitor it properly, so some of them actually had small leaves coming out and eventually died as I didnt lift the cover.

Luckily two of them survived.

Here they are

Here are the latest pics of the surviving ones.
