Explored online directory monetization and AI-first solutions for traditional industries, celebrated Mona’s career break as mom and dad join us for festive season, and love being consistent with resistance training.
Explorations
I’ve been exploring the monetization and mechanics of online directories. I’m curious and feel there’s a need for a “Software Advice” for traditional industries with AI-first solutions. I’ve been part of quite a few WhatsApp groups where I typically see pings around specific use cases like “AI-based voice solutions for support” or a cousin looking for “time tracking for legal”.
Family & Friends
It was Mona’s last week at work; she’ll be taking a career break for a few months. I truly feel grateful that we can take a pause at this point in life and revisit personal and family goals. Mom and dad will be staying with us for the next two months, which also signals the start of the festive season; looking forward to Ganesh Chaturthi next week. Ibhan and I have already started craft work and prep for the backdrop this time - it’s going to be “Pindi Shiva”. I look forward to these small craft projects with Ibhan. I also spent some time fixing Ibhan’s new robot toy’s gearbox - this required multiple tries and a few hours to get right.
Workout
Continued with 8-9k steps daily with 4 sessions of heavy resistance training, averaging a volume of 6000-8000 kg per session across 16 work sets. Have been avoiding deadlift but have been hitting PRs across others. These days I’m enjoying weighted pull-ups and dips.
