personal stuff.

hi all, it's been a really long time since i've last written anything for this page.

i'm not sure why that is - but i think i'm glad to be back rn. i'm not sure how much the aadi that started this page was okay with sharing on here, but i'd like to respect his wishes and try to keep up, and adhere his standards however lowly they are.

life's been treating me well - i made it to college, and it's been a year already. loads of stuff happened between the last proper update this site received and this one, which i'd love to talk about i suppose but idk i feel like if i sit down and write all about it in one go, i wouldn't do justice to the one who actually went through allat but yea

i'm not sure who i am writing for exactly - i suspect all the viewers that i see on my cloudflare dashboard are bots but it'd be great to have something left behind on this digital landscape i guess, and maybe someday i'll have a conversation with someone about something i've written. big dreams LOL - (on a perpendicular, i find myself using LOL much more than just lol these days, something about all the three letters being capitalised conveys something i'd have found mundane earlier) i don't really expect someone to actually come up to me for something they have read about on this site and that's cuz i don't really link it irl anywhere - it's still on my discord profile but that's about it.

i see that the last post was me wishing people a happy new year for 2024. so i shall be going thru the photos i have of that year, and try to encapsulate a bit of what i think i felt here:

i had a friend who was going thru a patch - the cracks started showing around the 2nd, he ended up threatening to use tranqs on me later on, after which i just called it a day istg an old friend also tried to connect with me, but i barely had grown up since and i messed it up but it's fine now that i look back to it (as though its been a couple of decades LOL) but yeah saraswati puja at school i was still lwk awk ash but idk, im not sure how i really behaved in school the last two years were blurry for me with allen and all going on. dude there was this quiz i went to that had a junior segment too and there was this kid with us who was praying so damn hard for qualifications LOL. speaking of quizzes, later on in the year i ended up coming second in this quiz that was supposed to be the pinnacle of my highschool quizzing career and that really ruffled me, i ended up crying a bit ahaha it was a bit weird for me then but it's okay. like i still feel i can describe the quiz from then, ALSO like i was talking to this friend i had right and i didnt really do voice notes and stuff and i ended up deciding that this was a good time to do so AND IT WAS SO FUCKING BAD LIKE AHHAHA HAH I CANT BRO like the way i spoke HOLY SHIT it was so not me like i asked her if she could forward them to me like a couple of weeks ago, AUHDUWHDUIAW i cant it was so terrible like auwhduiawhuidah i'm still freaking out about it, but yeah like i know for a fact that the me back then tried to convey what the quiz was like but AWHDUIAWHUIDHA naaa that was so terrible but anwywas they were nice enough to listen to the entire thing ion think id listen to smth as crappy as that if it were me. but yeaaa ok so its a trios quiz alright, we made it through the qualifiers and the semis okay they weren't too notable though i did notice that we weren't doing too good but yes anyways so in the finals okay we were doing TERRIBLEE like absolute buns - i like to take responsibility and stuff right so i took it all on me and i decided to gamble on this one question on the 3rd round ok AND IT WAS WRONG and we ended up losing even more points. ok so this is like the top 6 teams out of like a 100 smth in total, we were 5th then. the last round comes up and it was being held on the buzzers - i have a thing for buzzers okay, and i genuinely destroyed the other teams. NOBODY had ANYTHING on me, i solo carried that entire round so damn well - like i didnt even read the question, it was just a really quick skim for keywords and thassit i had the answer, like idk what took a hold of me then but i did so well, which makes the ending all the more bitter. it's going amazingly, i got question after question right, i think i missed just one question in the entire round so far. the team is in the first place and so it's like the second last question of the round, the penultimate question of the quiz. the question had something to do with mercury and hermes, the question asked for the GREEK equivalent - i COMPLETELY missed that and lo and behold answered ever so quickly, "mercury". i'd never been so down like that ever before it was just so saddening. we lost some 10 points on it, losing out 5 point lead we had over the home team. the last question came and some other team buzzed it before my brain could properly comprehend what happened. and thats it we ended up coming second. im sure theres a lot of lessons to take away from that but yeah. i'm not talking about allen cuz it wasn't all that enjoyable for me - back then i suppose i had already accepted what it was like and i know i was striving and doing well.

around the second week of feb i got this really nice waterbottle that vibrated when u dragged it across the floor. and then there was this school outing that happened, one i went to - it was nice and lwk worth rmmbring anyways when 12th started a bunch of things happened all at once, i got into this other batch that took place in the morning, my school was getting annoyed at me missing sm days - it all got sorted out in the end and stuff <3

i started using signal a whole lot - i had already been off of instagram for a bit, and then i convinced a bunch of my friends to use signal and that was that

loads of bougainvillea bloomed and it was really nice

also i was talking a whole lot in this mathematics server on discord but looking back rn i was far too conceited LOL

june, july and august were normal enough i suppose it was all that boring finishing your syllabus jee slop but i do think i had a larger number of crashouts at home then i normally did during the jee days. i started using forest a lot and it was really nice and clean and aesthetic, both forest and ypt. i didn't study wholeheartedly though something i regret still, like i felt like i wasn't really going anywhere with all i did.

i had forgotten i had switched to a light theme for a change - lwk looked really nice

i had made this AND/XOR gate that used water for a physics project which was nice

holy shit i was such a cornball (I STILL AM AHHAHAHA IDEK WHAT I AM DOING ANYMORE LIKE WHATS THE POINT OF WRITING ALL OF THIS AND POSTING IT HOLY ATTENTION SEEKING)

i used to use the alarmy app a lot and it worked wonders. though now i feel that all those sleep deprived moments could probably have been avoided. dude also i was so much better at maths compared to physics and chem like in the srg tests i had a 1:1:3 ratio in marks. i never was good at chem but like i ended up scoring as much as i did in physics. physics was always a disappointment then.

september was a weird phase - idk much about school but i had lost all faith in my chemistry. i ended up doing everything from scratch all over again (not for the last time LOL) i started scoring worse but like idek dude i was just so stupid

i downloaded a bunch of the granada sherlock holmes for my granma

i wish i were a bit more lwk in the things i did for school LOL

september was definitely weird for no reason

october was terrible, i got the pox, i didn't study at all and it was all just so -

diwali was so fun.

november and december weren't much better i was trying so hard to get my ass back in to shape for the first session but yea

mohit tiyagi's twitter was so unhinged idk if it still is.

i liked being up in the morning taking pictures of the windowview

december i found an old hard drive that had TONS of old childhood photographs it was so peak omg i loved going thru it and categorising it. also ended up trying immich then

oh i also got a wacom tablet that was so peak too

like lwk ion have much to talk about other than jee, i'm sure if i wanted to i could but meh i wanted to be so much better back then and rn ion think im doing too shabby

college has been so good to me and i feel like i'm finally me and it's so fun for me <3

i dont plan on auditing/drafting this but yea

**

hi all its the 31st of dec and its liek 11:57 rn and i wish everyone a happy new year and like hope everyone gets to end up doing their goals and all

have a safe and nice year

baii c:

hi all

idk why i havent updated in so so long but i guess its only fair if i do so now

a lot has changed -- i shifted the site from github pages to my own rpi0w. now if the site is down i suppose its due to fault on my end but o welp im not sure why i did that but yeah was a fun experience

i made a file server for myself using filebrowser its really neat and minimal and cool and works somewhat perfectly(?) on the rpi.

i had family visiting and was somewhat occupied and all i guess.

oh yeah i have also started using this cool ncurses program for spotify called ncspot

i really love it -- i did try spotify-tui, another popular name in the spotify cli userspace but uh it was really slow for me and i couldnt figure out why so i gave up on it :/

studies havent been going well unfortunately im afraid, im like totally not meeting the expectations i have of myself but uh yeah im trying to become better

anyways a very merry christmas to everyone (even though im like 3 days late) and i hope you all have a goood year the upcoming year. thansks a lot for reading all this and cyall bye :)

( PS follow my spotify @ /spotify c: )

the year is almost over like that is so unbelievable like just how quickly can year pass by, but then again it wasnt not really quick, rather it was somewhat trying. i have no idea as to what i am trying to say here, but yeah id describe the year going by as a rollercoaster i suppose, few parts went by quick but then again few parts went as slow as a turtle

currently there are just 56 days for the year to end and like just yeah

anyways a quick update like not really but yes im doing more or less decent, and i uh recently took a break from studies and such and went to this other city and it was somewhat fun id say, though i did try my best to study there like but it wasnt up to standards like yeah ive noticed on a couple of days its like i am stuck in this room in one corner on the desk studying and sleeping and wasting time and stuff like its getting stale? stagnant? idk really but yes

oh yeah recently this friend of mine from coaching challenged me in a test and i ended up winning so now he owes me a pizza i do not know if i have already mentioned this on the site but yes it happened quite recently so idk

um also yes like recently nta delted a bunch of the jee-mains syllabus so i expect the competition for it to increase even more this year and on 2025 aa so yes most people are happy that they removed allat but i suppose they should look at it from a diff viewpoint

i think this is the first time ive written as much as this on the site/personal thingy but yeah i kinda feel bad tbh like i dont think i actually behave as myself in my posts and that really defeats the entire point of this website i'll try to improve that now onwards

class 11 has pretty much ended and thats so weird to think about cuz it wasnt even that long ago when it started and like yeah i havent even been to school much like pretty much go for like 1 or 2 days and that kinda makes me feel somewhat detached from school which is weird i suppose i do not know

anyways yes bye also so much so for shop.aadi.net.in but hopefully one day when im successful and all ill be able to sell my autographs from there and like make a buck ton of money that would be cool yesyes

ok yes bye stay safe :)

i dont really know how much of this is true, but this is absolutely amazing.

i cant believe that like over 700 ppl have visited my site (once again, pretty sure it isnt completely true id estimate that around 10 humans have) but yes i never really expected to have someone read through the site and thats pretty cool yesyes

ok bai

oh and i should thank everyone who has

hello yes i have made obsidian look prettier and i yes its so good looking waaooowwww

ive been rather bored as of late but o welp

also my half-yearlys are going on aha and yeah thats pretty much it.

ive also made it so that my obsidian thing magicky gets backed up on git and thats pretty cool i guess and i can also use the git repo to make it accessible via obsidian mobile i guess lets see.

oh speaking about phones, i have pretty much cut off social media and stuff so thats good and all yesyes

im also using a habit tracker to take care of myself!1! idk yes okok bye :)

ee idk what i should use as a title so i shall just have it as the date for now.

i havent really been using my computer a whole lot in a while, i dont really have much to do nowadays on it anyways.

though, recently i have been falling down the rabbit hole of 90s styled stuff, i found an old handycam and ive been trying to make it work properly - it even records on a tape and all and its all very fascinating to me. i also started using this old camera i found which really makes me appreciate the beauty of stuff from the 1990s and 2000s. now almost everything is doable from a slim boring flashy phone.

ive also been experimenting w/ the chicago95 xfce theme - it really is a work of art like idk something ab things from that period of time just feels right, even though i wasnt even alive back then.

im planning to try to make this really old boxkinda computer we have packed up tmrw or sum lets see i shall make a post here accordingly idk.

anyways okay bye :))

june went by pretty fast and so has this third of july but yes anyways.

not that anyone cares but i did not post a whole lot of stuff in june - i was busy most of the time.

i had my summer vacation for like three weeks and yea i studied pretty much the entire time aha - its fun for me tho.

i made a couple of new friends irl and found out one of ems actually nice and ye

ive also been playing throwball a lot and not to toot my own horn but i am actually pretty insane at throwball :)))

im planning to write a blog post on something a teacher once told me about personalities and originality which ended up being pretty deep once i realised the significance of her words.

as for july, i am planning to like uh do good yesyes

oka beyebeyebeye

the months not over yet but might as well sum up what i did this month.

i uh made two utility scripts - without just skidding off of other people.

• drives.sh -- a command line utility that helps users mount new ext4 drives.
• notes.sh -- a simple note making cli tool.

idk why but i am somewhat proud of myself for making them anyways yes.

i also uh studied quite a bit, got put into a coaching institute like one week ago and so far its going pretty well - i do have a lot to catch up on tho.

i also had exams this week - was pretty decent and uh yeah my summer vacations about to start, 22 days of not going to school. {i dont get a vacation from coaching :')} schools fun tho so eh.

one thing w all that tho is that i am not able to study by myself at home like i used to, kind of a bummer cuz that was probably the only time i studied properly but ye ill fix something up okok

next month, i am hoping to uh get physically active more- idk my current bmi is 22.7 and thats kinda decent and also uh learn how to drive idk ok bye

okay so to concentrate on important things, you sometimes have to let go of other things, that may not seem as significant as the important thing.

its really important to manage your time properly and accordingly give specific amounts of time for one task.

quitting a game like minecraft is really hard, as you sometimes develop somewhat of a connection w the people you play with or even the game itself. even though it sometimes gets repetitive, it really is fun to play.

i have quit minecraft for a bit a couple of times and everytime i return to it, the feeling is exhilarating. i have fun doing the same old thing again and remembering certain events and that makes it all the more enjoyable to me.

but, doing the same thing over and over again gets really boring and you just play for the sake of it, not just cuz ure having fun. you just spend hours and hours grinding for stats that dont even matter much.

im not saying that the game sucks, or is dead, but that to truly enjoy yourself you have to sometimes take a step back, and just stop playing. instead, focus on other things, till you start craving for the game once again. only then it is possible to truly enjoy the beauty of a game like minecraft.

ok bai.
