As per my previous post about the 30 days challenge for October , I was supposed to go for a walk everyday. I failed. I did manage to follow the intent for the first 5 days and then I managed to badly scrape my knee. Basically, walking became an pain.  It would hurt. Hence, I had to let go of my resolution.

I don’t feel good about it but I had to do what I had to. I am going to attempt it again for the next month and this time I am going to make sure, I don’t end up scraping my knee again.

I think from next month, I’ll dedicate atleast 2 hours a day to my health. Geeks are lazy people and don’t really like physical exercise. This is going to be hard and demanding. Lets see how it goes…..

Let me be honest, I don’t like to shop. I don’t like to buy things what I utterly don’t need. I don’t like to buy things to look good to ‘please’ others. Hence, I hate shopping for clothes. I possess a very limited wardrobe. But the point here is when I go out there to buy, I like to be in total control of the transaction.

I hate salesmen. They try to peep into my area of control and feel they can influence me into buying their product. Its not going to happen. I am the buyer and by default I have the upper hand here. I am not going to buy something just because you pointed out its merits and why I always needed a product like that. Thank you, I am not buying it. Neither, Should you.

Salesman are tricky people and trick you to buy stuff you don’t need. Sometimes, its with the money you don’t even have. Be very cautious. Very CAUTIOUS. I always entertain all their calls and requests as it helps me stay updated and entertained for a while. I pleasantly decline after I’ve heard their pitch. If it gets too annoying, I just ask them to get me off their list.

Stay in control. Its your money. Start buying and stop being sold to !

My vehicle registration recently expired and I had to head to RTA to get the stupid vehicle inspection done. They pointed out my tyres needed replacement. I don’t know much about cars but my dad said they were fine and could do another year. I kind of don’t believe him because the tired has cracks all over. Nevertheless, we got it replaced.

Tires are expensive. Car registration is expensive. Insurance is expensive. Everything is expensive when you don’t make money.

Ok, Enough of the rant. Basically, renew your vehicle now and get 5 sim cards for every transaction. The sim cards come with a pre load of 20 AED. Plus, they give you a coupon to some sort of raffle draw sponsored by ENOC. Do check it out.

5 Free simcards and raffle draw coupon never hurt anyone !

I have been to plenty of desert safaris in Dubai. As a resident of Dubai I have kind of grown over the whole concept of a safari. I would surely love to try dune bashing with my car though.

I recently read about over night desert safari in Dubai and It was kind of fascinating. I would like to spend my night in the tent under the starlight sky. I would surely do this in the winter as I am no fan of being roasted to sleep. I’ve heard that the deserts and the wadis are spectacular in the winters.

I am planning on getting some off roading gear like tents and lanterns. I am surely looking forward to head to the wadis this December. Lets Hope it works out well.

A 30 day challenge is a pretty nice way to cultivate a good habit. 30 days is just the right time you need to understand if something is for you or not. My first 30 day challenge I realized that blogging everyday was not for me. I would simply run out of things to talk about. This normally doesn’t happen.

But this time, I am going to try a 30 day challenge on a fitness level. I am going to go on a 30 minute walk everyday. A god forbid I miss a day, I ll make up for it on the next day. Very simple but demanding.

I am a manufactured geek. I like to use my brains and fingers to get work done. Not much of the active type. Lets see how this works out. I’ll issue weekly updates to update you people on how its working out.
