Sahil Parikh: My weekly analytics Dashboards

sahilparikh:

I rarely log on to Google Analytics to check how this blog is doing. It would be good to know popular posts, monthly unique visits, bounce rate and time on site. Better, it would be great to have these emailed to me on a weekly basis so I can just check it off the iPhone. Since I use the new…

On being absurd

“Only those who attempt the absurd…will achieve the impossible.” - M.C. Escher

I came across this quote on my twitter feed & like every other quote, I yelled “wow” in my head & carried on. But there was something different about this!

I was able to relate to it very closely. But why?

Quenching on my thirst, I created a timeline of my life in my head - from my childhood till today. Compared it with those of my friends. I found a peculiarity - “utter absurdness”. 

I mean seriously - who on earth would not enjoy his childhood for making bills in dad’s restaurant or not enjoy this teenage for designing websites (entrepreneurial stint) ! ME.

I have been absurd all through! Even today, my psyche simply stops me to do everything everyone else is doing.

All this obviously does not mean that I have a achieved the impossible, but yes it definitely assures that I’m on the right track - achieve the impossible.

"Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable."

Let’s backpack & explore India!

I was looking at my college calender a while back & just saw that I have holidays in May & June. I always knew that I have holidays in May, but the moment I saw it - engines in my brain throttled up! Plans, plans, plans…

Idea: Backpacking India like a tourist - Explore & work at the same time. Like a Digital Nomad. Fun!

Target: Explore a minimum of 10 states - mostly visit villages.

Time: 15-20 days

Budget: Very tight. Remember - Backpacking!

Note:

  • Say no to Flights - Only trains (preferably sleeper class - you are more likely to get talking with the fellow passengers in this class, than in 3-tier A.C.)
  • Don’t miss on tractor rides in village farms. They have a different charm.
  • Try to stay in homes of villagers.
  • Make a mark in their life - do something remarkable for them!
  • Food - eat their staple diet. (I can still choose to be vegetarian)
  • Work during travel. Plan your day accordingly so that you can steal out some time to work.
  • Blog every day - tough one!
  • Click Pictures - lots of them.
  • Carry only one backpack - no frills packing!

I want to do this very badly. Let’s see I can work upon this one. I need to decide on the region I would like to cover. I have two choices in mind at the moment - up north around the Himalayas or down south. Both seem to adventurous and exciting!
