Saturday-Pentacle – Week 51 – 2016

Greetings my internet friends,

Here are some popular links, thoughts, and articles for today’s “Saturday-Pentacle” e-mail newsletter. This is a free newsletter and goes out every Saturday only for my subscribed readers.

Enjoy! 

Post of the week – Benares! Day – 4

This is the day 4 from my Benares travelogue post. This one is special. Cause it’s all about the most special thing of Benares. Subha-e-Benares! (The morning of Benares) and the Sunrise. Some spectacular shots to treat your senses.

My most popular Instagram post recently — The snake boy! Even though this is neither the ‘most’ popular post nor from ‘past week’ but it’s relevant because of this week’s post of the week above, which is Benares! Day – 4 travelogue post.

Article I’m enjoying (and pondering) — I love the works of James Clear, here is another gem from his fact-based writing – The Akrasia Effect: Why We Don’t Follow Through on What We Set Out to Do and What to Do About It.

What I’m reading/watching/listening to —

• On the Christmas eve, I want to share this amazing video by Casey Neistat –HUMAN FLYING DRONEThis video blew my mind in the most amazing way. It’s like Santa Clause coming through the sky but instead of a reindeer ride, the vehicle is a Hexadecacopter drone. Click the link above and be blown.
• Seafret! I’m loving the refreshingly new songs of this artist duo Band. Here is the link to the playlist (on YouTube) which I listened to, throughout this past week.
• Third, I finally purchased the kindle edition of the new book of Tim Ferriss – Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers
  Even though this book is more or less based on the podcasts from Tim’s podcast – ‘The Tim Ferriss Show’, but as I’ve started to indulge in this book, it is starting to feel more than just a book, it feels like a toolkit of life instead.Looking forward towards finishing this one. May post a detailed review on this book shortly.P.S.: The book links are affiliated.

A Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

“On a moment-to-moment basis, being in the middle of doing the work is usually less painful than being in the middle of procrastinating.”

-Eliezer Yudkowsky

Until Next Saturday!

Thanks for reading.

Quick endnote – as a few of you guys have told me that emails are not delivering in the Gmail primary inbox and going to promotions tab in your Gmail. I suggest below two pro tips to get my email in your Primary inbox from next time.

• Add my From email address ([email protected]) to your Google Contacts list.
  Emails from your Google Contacts always go to their Primary inbox. So go ahead and add me to your contact list.
• Move your emails to the Primary tab.
  You can teach Gmail where to deliver your messages. When you move one of my emails from Promotions tab to the Primary tab, Gmail asks whether it should always deliver my emails in your primary inbox. So please do that. You can also read more about these Gmail Help instructions.
