The clock struck Six
It was time to make a Call
I was in a Fix
To get up or sleep off
A minute later I call
Only to hear a busy (dnd) tone
I don't give up and give another haul
This time it's the voice not unknown
'Haan Sid!' I hear
'Wake up, it's Six!' I say
Ten mins later a chime I hear
7:10 is what is Instagram says
We walk, We skip
We talk, We laugh
That's our typical trip
Which leaves us with pain in calf

At a personal and professional level, it is time to look back on the 2020 goals and audit ourselves. Next step is to make a list of new year goals for 2021. One of my hobbies is reading and I didn't read this year as much as I did last year. Reading 12 books will be on top of my list for next year and I have decided to add a bit of twist to it. This year we have explored a whole new aspect of the digital world and I would like to merge both. My idea is to do a live reading session, just like we have zoom gym and meditate together, etc.
There are many aspects that I need to sort out before proceeding, let me list down one by one.
Start - 1st January 2021
Reading speed - Depends on the book, maybe 2 weeks for a book.
Which book - I haven't finalized the first one. If you want to join me on this, let me know your choice of book and we can start with it. We can be reading different books together, that is fine too.
Where will we meet - It will be either Insta or youtube live.
Time - 6 to 6:30 am in the morning, every day. It is difficult to find undisturbed time for ourselves and so I plan to pick this morning hour. This also makes sure we wake up early :P
Accountability - There are great books and research showing that having an accountability partner increases your chances of achieving your goal.
Let me know your thoughts and or queries. You can reach me through any medium.
How I got this idea - a couple of years back, there was a college student who started meditate together. Every day at 6 am we used to meditate in silence in our respective rooms for 21 days. I also attended Jay Shetty's 20-day meditation session on youtube and this too was my source of inspiration.
CA Rachana Ranade - she has a youtube channel. She has many courses, free lectures, paid, etc related to investments and finance. This is not the part, she also comes live daily at 6 am, where she interacts with her audience. She does 10 min pranayam and some 10 min reading with all. This was the major source of inspiration for me.
It is just another experiment for me and I hope to reach my target number of books this year. In the process, I would like to connect with my friends and learn from them and more importantly GROW together.
Waiting to hear from you :)
