My sleep statistics for July 😴 I have been tracking my sleep time since December 2020. My MI smart band helps me know exactly when I fall asleep and when I wake up. It is a small watch that you wear on your wrist and do your daily chores. It can count the steps you have walked, it can track your heartbeats and many more things. The reason I track my sleep time is because I have always struggled with sleep and I want to improve it slowly. In July I didn't wear the band…

My sleep statistics for last night I had a good sleep last night. I went to bed early. I woke up at 12 AM and I couldn't go back to sleep till 1:30 AM I think. Whenever I get such good sleep I feel good and my day is productive.
Oh! Sleep where art thou? I think my sleep has a mind of its own and I always seem to be struggling with it. Last night I could hardly sleep. If you check the image that I have uploaded here it says that I slept less than two hours. I think I have slept at least 3 hours and then I woke up. I have been waking up very frequently since I have started this new medicine. I usually wake up to pee and after that finish my visit to the bathroom I come back to my bed but rarely get…
Got a new Keyboard! Last month my keyboard started to give me problems. The main issue was the "I" & "k" keys were not working and I had to hit hard to get them to work. And a few other keys were getting stuck often. So, I had to clean my keyboard. I removed all the keys and cleaned them with spirit and soon after that it started to work perfectly but the "i" and "k" keys would often trouble me. I am a content writer who writes a lot of stuff and when something interrupts it…
A beautiful bird's nest with eggs 😍 Last month I saw that a small bird had built a beautiful nest on our Avacado tree. Soon it became the centre of our attention and I would often wait in hiding to see the tiny bird hop around the nest. Yesterday, after weeks of waiting and watching we saw that the bird had given four tiny eggs. I have always wished that birds would build nests on our trees and kept a bowl of water so that it attracts them. I have been very happy seeing the…
Ruins of a Mosque Today I had to visit a Government school in a village about 5-6 kilometers from my house. My teammate and I went there on my scooter. The Headmaster of the primary school was asking me to send them some trees to plant in their school. We took 10 Neem trees with us. This was a new place for me and I had never visited it before. I was looking around and I found this old ruined Mosque. It was a beautiful mosque once and over the years it started to fall and…
My Actifit Report Card: August 6, 2021 The day was good but last night was a bit not so good. I tried to go to bed early but like always sleep was playing hide and seek with me. I always try to go to bed as early as possible but when I restarted going to bed early on the 1st of August I noticed that I kept waking up within 2-3 hours. On the 1st of August I went to bed before 9 PM and woke up within 2-3 hours and I spent the next few hours trying to fall asleep. So, after a…
Reached 600 Subscribers! 😍😍😍 I woke late today and I saw that I have 600+ subscribers. Wow! It took me 5 months to reach 500 subscribers and now it took me less than a month to get 100+. Noise cash is a good platform and I am enjoying my time here. How many subscribers do you have? Share your thoughts.
Blue sky! The other day I was still on the terrace and relaxing. I had finished my morning workout and needed to catch my breath. I sat down and closed my eyes. It was peaceful. The birds around me were tweeting and the wind was calm and pleasent. When I opened my eyes the sky had cleared up and it had a very good shade of blue. I clicked a photo and continued my meditation.
It was another good day where I did most of my work. I slept late last night and by the time I woke up, it was about 10 AM. The sun was already up and I did not go out for my morning walk but I did walk around the house all throughout the day. I went out in the afternoon to meet someone, my brother and my brother-in-law were also with me. It was a productive meeting and it was late evening when we were back. Later today I got a call from my blockchain friends Kamran and…
Yesterday was a dull day. I was asleep all day and did not do anything. The other night I could not go to sleep at all. I went to sleep at around 10 AM yesterday. I had some anxiety and I could not calm myself. Why was I anxious? Well, there are a few things going on in my life and I get a bit too emotional and stressed with it all. Anyways, last night I slept by 12 AM and I really wanted to write my daily report by I thought that if I keep let my mind active then I will end…
A few days ago I took my nephews to the park. It was around 7 PM and a pleasent evening. Since the pandemic started the kids have been to the park only twice I think. Parents have fears and everyone is scared. People are looking for ways to be safe and this has come at a cost. Kids should be out in the parks, and gardens playing, shouting, screaming. But this pandemic has confined all of us in our houses. I am happy I could take my nephews to the park and they had fun.
I have shared a short post on Blurt. Please check it out. https://blurt.blog/powerclub/@imransoudagar/kids-in-the-park #Blurt
Was Noise.Cash down since the last several hours? I was not able to use it and all I saw was a 502 Bad Gateway error. I am happy I am able to use it now.
Finding the costume Yesterday was an interesting day. It started off at 3:40 AM morning. I did my morning routine which includes some exercise, a little bit of meditation, and then some vocal exercise to develop a deeper and a more clearer voice. Today I followed some amazing Youtube tutorials for making my voice better and clear. I think that sharing these useful youtube tutorials here will be better and it might help someone who wants to train their voice. Or maybe it will…
Do you take naps? I just woke up from a two hour nap. I know two hours is a long time for a nap but I woke up early and needed some rest. Do you guys take naps? How long is ideal for a nap?
I miss eating Fried Chicken 😅🐔 I have been trying to eat healthy and for the 11 days I have been eating healthier. My favourite food is fried chicken. I miss eating crunchy, fried, spicy chicken. I am eating sprouts, cucumbers and other fibrous vegetables. I don't know if I have lost any weight but I do feel better. I need to keep doing this forever to stay healthy. Can you eat healthy food all your life?
Water and peace I find peace when I am near a river. The flowing water, the pleasent breeze and the soft sand underneath my feet. I have spent hours and hours just watching the water. It flows all the way from the Himalayas that is at least more than an thousand kilometres from here and goes for another thousand or so kilometres to meet the Indian Ocean.
How much does your internet connection costs? I have a pretty decent internet connection. I get a speed of 30 Mbps and it costs me $12 a month. Moet days the connection is fast and stable. I get no issues but if it rains then it gets a bit bad. I have been with this company for the last 4 years and they have always managed to upgrade my plans to provide me faster and better experience. How much do you pay and how much speed do you get?
Yesterday was a good day and I had plenty of stuff done but I couldn't write my daily report on time. I was busy and I could only sit down and write in the evening. Today I have made sure that I sit down to write as soon as possible because if I miss this chance then I'll not get another chance to write today. I have a busy day planned today and I will be going out in a few hours. I have a meeting and a few things to plan with a friend. As of now I have finished my basic…
I usually do not write anything negative but today I am frustrated at someone for wasting my time. I had a meeting and I was supposed to meet a bunch of people at around 2 PM. I was on time and I was ready to meet and discuss but the people kept on delaying the meeting on the pretext of having lunch. The lunch took two hours and I was tired of their small talk. I came back home and I am frustrated and angry because they wasted my time.
I was angry in the afternoon and in the evening when I came back home I was tired and needed some rest. I slept for 2-3 hours and when I woke up it was already 10 PM. I had my dinner and sat down to write. I usually do not get angry but I think that is my perception of myself. I have been told by people around me that I show signs of anger. Once upon a time, I use to have anger issues, and to solve that issue I had isolated myself from the world. I had left all my friends…
One of the best photos I have ever taken.
It's 15th of August and it's been 75 years since India got its Independence from the British Empire. India has built itself from the ashes that the Britons left us in and the last 75 years have been a difficult journey but we did it. India is now a leader in education, health services, IT services and space research. There's a lot of work to be done and we are trying to better ourselves each day. One step at a time and we are a billion so a billion steps at a time. Looking…
Shadow Games Took this photo years ago. The subject in the photo is my niece. We had a power cut and kids need entertainment do I took my phone and clicked a few photos.
I was fast asleep and dreaming about crypto and my dream farm, I heard a woman calling my name. Not once but twice and I woke up shouting "Yes?". When I woke up I saw no one was around me and my heart kept beating fast. It gave me a pretty bad scare. I'll try to go back there sleep now. Hopefully, I'll not be scared.
I had a few hours of sleep and I'm feeling better now. I think I had a nightmare and it scared me pretty much bad. I usually don't get scared but the voice that called my name sounded as if it came from within my room.

How many cups of tea do you drink in a day? Today I had some meetings and I spent half the day discussing stuff. And every now and then someone would order tea. I ended up drinking three cups of tea today. I don't drink tea but if I drink then I usually stick to one cup of tea a day. I drink more than one cup of tea only when I am traveling or when I have cold and fever. But today I couldn't say no because I was also enjoying the tea. So, how many cups of tea do you drink in…
I woke up half an hour ago and heard the front yard water tap flowing. I think my nieces and nephews might have turned it on while they were playing last night. I am against wasting water and it makes me feel bad when I end up wasting it. I quickly went out to turn it off and to my surprise it was raining. I enjoy rain but lately I have been staying away from rain so that I do not get sick. I'm sitting inside listening to soft noise of rain falling on the leaves of our mango…
Eating sprouts is one of the healthiest things I do all day. Most of us do not think much about what we eat and build up bad eating habits.
Had a good lunch of my favourite Vada. This is my favourite food and I love it. Today I was out somewhere to get some work done and I got hungry at around 12 AM. I went to my favourite restaurant and ate these Yummmy Vada.
Went to buy some flowering plants and I was disappointed to see that there were not many plants at the nursery. The reason why they don't have much stock is because of frequent lockdown. Lockdowns have made everything unpredictable. Today the market might be open but there is no guarantee that the market will be open tomorrow. So the vendors are trying to be safe and are not ordering many trees.
I find peace in nature. It calms my mind. And that is one of the major reasons why I want to own farm land and grow fruit trees. It is still a dream and I don't know if it will ever get fulfilled.
Damn I slept 10 hours!!! 😳😳😳 I SLEPT FOR 10 HOURS!!! This doesn't happen every day maybe once a month or so. Yesterday, I had a hectic day and when I reached home it was 7 PM. I thought of having dinner but I was too tired to do that and I wanted to go to bed straight away. I had my lunch at around 4 PM and I thought that it will be okay. I was right and I soon fell asleep. I woke up at around 2 PM and the first thing I did was check my MI Band's app to see how many hours I…
What's the first thought in your mind when you wake up? Most days the moment I wake up I think about how long I have slept and I go Check my MI fit app. Somedays, I think about what stuff I have to do that day and most days I have random thoughts from my dreams. What are your first thoughts?
Papad Crispy, salty, and crunchy Papad. Mostly it is deep fried and it is delicious. This one is made with urid dal. It is called Black Gram in English. Usually it is fried but this one is roasted.
Tea? I am tired of drinking tea. I keep saying no to people but they keep insisting. We Indians have a very bad addiction to tea. I know a friend who drinks at least 5-6 cups of Chai and I think it is not good for this health. I personally do not drink more than 2 cups a day. But if I can avoid it I keep avoiding it.
It's been raining since the last 30 minutes and I am standing by the roadside. I usually enjoy rain but lately I have been avoiding it.
Have you walked all alone on a road in the middle of the night? Well, I am walking home all alone and it is about to be midnight. I have no thoughts in my mind. I am just feeling a hurricane building up in my chest and I just want to burst out and stop to exist. I used to take midnight bike rides but since pandemic I can't go out at night and the police are always there and I might end up detained. But today don't care. I just want to walk. I am enjoying this serene scene. I…
Yesterday I had a busy day. I had to meet a bunch of people and it was not a very successful. I had a late dinner and I was famished. I went to bed late and I had a long sleep. It was raining all day and the night was calm. I woke up with a bit of cold and my voice was deep. I love it when I sound deep and have a low voice. I recorded my voice and it sounded good.
One of my favorite foods is Indian lunch plate or thali as we call it in Hindi. It has different types of vegetarian gravies including paneer masala, dal tadka, chana masala, and one type of sweet and one soup. It is eaten with a tandoori roti and rice.
I often share my sleep updates and stats here and one of the reasons why I do it is because a lot of us do not get enough sleep. I get enough sleep but I do not sleep on time. There have been hundreds of studies related to sleep and every study and research tells us that sleeping early is the best thing we can do for our bodies. I have been trying to sleep early and according to the MI Band and MI Fit app the average time when I fall asleep is around 2 AM. I am trying to…
Fried rice 😋 I have been trying to eat healthy food so I have stopped eating fried items. I use to eat fried chicken at least once or twice a week. Now I do not eat that instead I eat salads and home cooked stuff. I have been able to sleep better and I feel healthier. Share some of your healthy foods.
Visited another nursery to buy more trees. I think I will end up becoming a shopaholic 😂 I also bough a few Mango trees and the seller said that those are Alphonso Mangoes. I have more to buy and it is taking more time than usual.
Gulmohar 💚 A few days ago I went to buy some trees and one plant that a lot of people love is called Gulmohar. It is a beautiful tree that has a big canopy. Every year it flowers and gets these beautiful red flowers. The canopy looks like a peacocks tail and that is why the name Gulmohar. Gulmohar means rose peacock or red peacock.
Failure, here I come. Embrace me old friend.
Feeling a bit of writer's block I'll be back here in a few days.
I have been very busy since the last few days and I will be busy till the ned of this month and a few days next week. I have noticed that when I am busy I cannot multitask. I can only do one thing at a time and because of this I end up abandoning noise and other crypto sites. I'll be back soon and I'll write more.
Compost and dried cowdung for my trees My trees deserve the best fertilizer. I never add any chemicals. I always try to use what's naturally available. It's been raining since the last few days and I have been a bit busy. Once I get some free time I am going to take care of the trees.
