So started taking this life thing a bit more serious with more focus and clarity.
According to me now I value these three when it comes life. Health, Wealth and Family.
So let's start from one by one.
Health:
I took a DEXA scan voluntarily in the first week of September. Attaching the Report below. I weigh 91 kg with 38% Fat. That opened my eyes, I knew I was a bit fat but taking a report totally changed me. Slowly gradually stopped taking Junk Food and ate my last Ice Cream, Soft Drinks, etc. If you are like me recommend taking a DEXA scan to see how much Fat % you have in your body. Definitely will help you to make decisions.

Also Bought this Pull up Bar and setup in a place I usually cross daily. The goal was not to do Pull ups in the bar but just play with it while I cross each time. It has been a little fun. After coming home around 2020. I have not been active physically which actually made my body accumulate more fat.
This is the one I bought
During my undergraduate I used to play Volleyball in the Hostel and did the same plus Badminton in my Post Graduate. When I was in Kolkata used to play the same every Sunday. Looking at the past it seems these helped me burn calories instead of storing excess calories as fat. So what I need to do is increase my Physical Activity again.
Wealth
I wouldn't say I am well settled or my family is well settled. I would categorize my financial status as Middle class or in the slightly upper middle class based on my expenses. I have been dabbling between a lot of things from Designing, Social Media, NFT's, Crypto, etc.. I do have a monthly retainer which helps me stay afloat but I think I need something better. I need to get settled ASAP and create a revenue source to fund my Lifetime Goals. (Mineral Museum and a Community center)
I founded Geology Love to 600,000+ Followers and have been in this niche for a time. So I planned to start building a product ( An iOS app ). So I bought a Second hand Macbook Air so that I can code an app and publish it which will help me in the creating wealth. Not going to reveal much about the app and what it does but will post updates about it on how I am starting and how it is doing.

Family
Main highlight of 2024 when it comes to family would be my Sister's marriage which happened in February. She is also pregnant now. :) I have been in home since 2021 and have been with the family. So I think I pretty much am good with the Family side but now parents started looking for alliance which I find interesting as well. Let's see how that goes.
So why this newsletter? I am planning to document my journey on what goes and how it evolves. Going to post every week and document the process on what challenges I am facing. Personally I am challenging myself to improve my health and release the app before New Year. The challenge will officially start on September 22nd but I have been slowly getting ready to the challenge. So you can expect the next update on the 22nd. :)
