Saturday-Pentacle, Week 15 Issue
Hello friends!
If you are reading this for the first time, Welcome! Please get an introduction to Saturday-Pentacle by clicking here.
Recent update: As the main purpose of this exclusive mailer is to provide quality reading and content, hence after reading your feedbacks and doing my own analysis, I’ve removed a few sections and cleared out some clutter from Saturday-Pentacle. Because it’s all about mindfulness and minimalism.
I’ll keep on shuffling the current sections as and when it will feel relevant.
Be well,
Himanshu

App I’m enjoying using –
Nike+ Run Club app by Nike – Oh boy! This is the app which helped me start with running. Believe it or not, till date I am using it for training programs and run tracking.
This app has come a long long way. It has training programs to start you up with running or if you are a runner already and want to improve upon your performance, they have got your back for everything. Beginner, intermediate to Advance, they have all sort of training programs built right in this app. The best part? It’s the Nike+ running community. It’s amazing how you feel competitive with this community. You can post pictures of your run on your feed and like everyone else’s run posts and comment just like a social media platform. But unlike other social media communities, NRC community is an action devising community, they charge you up and inspire to run more.
In case you are just starting up, just start a beginner program with this app and go as it says, you’ll do your first 5Kms in a month. I’ve been there and have done that, so you can trust me on this one.
In case I got you curious about running, you can go check out this app –
- Android Play Store (for android users)
- iTunes App Store (for iPhone users)
Pss…. Here’s a post I wrote almost 2 years back – ‘Story of my first half marathon’ where I have provided more in-depth and on training information about this app. You may find it more helpful.

Well, I can’t resist myself from sharing another article for this Pentacle issue, which is a bit geeky sounding and long form but hell yes, it’s an amazing article about our brain.
For more than half a century now, psychologists, linguists, neuroscientists and other experts on human behaviour have been asserting that the human brain works like a computer. But It doesn’t and this article is a great explanation. Go check it out.
What I’m reading/watching/listening to —
A few days ago, suddenly I stumbled upon this TEDx talk on YouTube. To my humble surprise, it was a talk by Ms. Meena Barot, my run club buddy (from the Navi Mumbai Runners) and a consultant Faculty at ITM college, Kharghar (Navi Mumbai, India). It just gave me immense pleasure that she could tell her story on a TEDx talk and I could feel the emotion of her story. She is awe inspiring. Just see the video. Great to know her.
As she said in the end. “Maktub” …It is written.
Quote I’m pondering on lately – Today’s quote is also from Ms. Meena’s TEDx Talk, in fact a little extended version.
“To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only real obligation and when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Until Next Saturday!
