Habitica

Hey, guys.

Recently I discovered Habitica! And I can't tell you how exited I am about this one, Gamify your Life it says. After all, who didn't love games as a child - many still do. It's a billion dollar industry and surely, they must be doing something that really clicks!

Habitica, as the name suggests is something that is based on Habit formation and Self Improvement drives. It is designed to bring the same level of experience and engagement to our own self improvement which we spend being glued to the screens. 

Want to for a Habit, be it 21 days or 66 days?
Want to feel great after completing your task list?
Wish to discover fellow community members with similar interests?

Habitica has a solution for you! It's Open Source, so if you've got an idea or something you can actually build the system and gift the community with a creative improvement as well. Man, I'm definitely gonna contribute to Habitica.

You know, if ever I am to really go look for a Job - Gaming industry is where you'll find me having the greatest fun at work. Yes, I know it's not all what we think it is but still the freedom of roles we can play in building a Game, from being a Designer to a Programmer, to being an actual Tester. Man, you've got to love this.

College Troubles

This is a bad time in my life. Being sorry and being sad - to hell with it)

I've met some serious trouble over at the college and the StartUp as well. It's not going well and, honestly, it's not the difficulties of coming across something new every single step but the sheer amount of talking that's involved!

I don't know but talking has always sapped my energy, I really need some time to spend alone, doing something I really enjoy. Everyone around me recharges by being with people and that's something I admire but it's not really my kind of thing. Well, I do need to figure out something to reduce the amount of "talking" ( really, confirmations etc ) that are required of me, of course, that's not to say that I don't like the exchange of ideas but sometimes, as they say, "Activity is mistaken for Improvement"! I look forward to finding new ways to minimize the time of these meetings and to make them all the more effective at the same time.

Sleep deprived, one of the side effects of working hard and having a long commuting time! Oh, usually I sleep a lot, it's a good thing but yes, I could really do with the art of mastering powernaps. But as someone who still is very much of a learner, sleeping can't really do me harm can it? In fact quite the opposite as all evidence points.

Oh, the college troubles...right;p

Actually, it so happened that the flunks I've had over the last couple of years are coming back to bite me in the pants and my degree really is on the line. I wouldn't have cared much were in the first or second year. But being so so close to the mythical end, I'd rather have the thing completed first

I seriously have a severe nervous breakdown, atleast on the edge whenever I see the ExamStorm approaching. I really don't like this entire exams things and honestly this is the same reason why in all the interview I'll be taking in future would be open book interviews. Trust me it's not so much as the knowledge that counts but the attitude and approach. Oh, that's still a bit further ahead in future though.

Well, it's gonna be fine - I know;p 
It's always fine, Seasons come and pass us by. Sometimes all one needs to do is just to sit by with patience and admire the view. Beautiful, isn't it?
I've recently come across these two wonderful quotations, which cross my mind time and again.

"There are no victims in life, only volunteers"
 
" Pain is inevitable - Suffering is optional"

A Slow Dance;p

The Last Chapter - Slow Dance:

Have you ever watched kids, On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain, Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance too fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day, On the fly?
When you ask: How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
With the next hundred chores, Running through your head?
You'd better slow down,
Don't dance too fast.
Time is short,
The music won't last.

Ever told your child we'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die,
Cause you never had time, To call and say Hi?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music,
Before the song is over.”
