My daughter and I went for a Tree Walk in Camp, Pune on 26 March 2023. This follows the star party that we went together for.
We travelled to Camp by car and parked opposite Bishop’s school in Camp. We met with the group of about 10 people who had also come there. After a brief round of introductions, we started the walk.
The main thrust of the walk was not to make us overnight experts on all things trees. It was to get us to look at the trees in our surroundings with more curiosity. Learn how they transform through the seasons. How to identify them using the Internet and thereafter, by yourself. Observe how they flower and grow.
I tried to get my daughter to climb one of the trees but she was afraid to go more than a couple of feet off the ground. She collected a lot of fallen flowers, fruits, berries, etc. Being the youngest in the group, she got the attention of many others in the group, who helped her collect these things.
I did not follow all the tree related guidance too closely.
I have been enjoying the tree-related articles on The Marginalian. I also enjoyed the theme of trees when listening to Richard Powers’ The Overstory.
Writing at work was good.
I wrote the newsletter, Pradeep’s Space Newsletter #49. 49 posts since July 2019.
I read/listened to:
I had a back injury. This allowed me just two days of playing badminton this week.
The same meant that no cycling got done either.
Another week where most of the writing was focused on work. I did not get any other writing done.No blog posts. No newsletter post.
I read/listened to:
I got back to playing badminton this week. I got the badminton racket gutted again.
I got no cycling done this week.
I delivered a lot of writing work this week. Left me in a high. But, this did not overflow to other writing. No blog posts. No newsletter. No other writing.
I watched:
I read/listened:
I am probably going to focus on one and not on both. I stopped the badminton middle of this week. I am going to focus on cycling.
I cycled for a day for about 11.3 km.
Focus continued to stay on work related writing this week. I hope to complete and deliver many of these in the next week.
I managed to write one blog post:
I managed to also send out one edition of Pradeep’s Space Newsletter:
I wrote one post on my Tumblr, Working Column:
This week’s writing was not of the quality that I would have preferred but means that I shipped content.
I watched:
I am reading/listening to:
Another week of no cycling.
Played badminton on all days save one.
The lower volume of work completed in Week 9 meant that more work-related writing got done than anything else. I did not write any blog posts. I did not publish the weekly space newsletter. I did not attend the RozWrite sessions.
I watched:
Of the lot, I enjoyed watching Nanpakal… the most. I had to watch the review by Baradwaj Rangan to really appreciate the movie more.
I am reading/listening to:
Another week without cycling. I played badminton on all days this week.
Again, a poor writing week. Two weeks in a row means it is time to buck up.
I was able to write three blog posts for the blog:
I did not publish the weekly space newsletter. I did not attend the RozWrite sessions. The contribution to the work writing was lower as well because of power cuts and fever.
I continued watching OTT. I moved from watching Malayalam and to other languages:
I especially liked the alternate rock intro music and music interlaced in a period drama in Lidia Poet.
I finished listening to Four Thousand Weeks and wrote a blog post about it.
I did not get any cycling done.
I played badminton only on two days. I played on Monday and Wednesday. I had a beginnings of fever on Tuesday and actual fever on Thursday and Friday.
