Very hot = no people

 It is very hot so my guess is that most people, except the white guy(that's me), is in door using the A/C and avoiding the sun!?!?

How ever I need some chips for MY indoor relaxing afternoon so I got a short walk to the nearby store.







Update: the indoor relaxing lasted for about 2h then I just had todo a "powerwalk" around the complex, I just had to ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜†
I can feel it in my feet today(sore feet) , they really need to rest, let's see if it will be a resting day today.


Yet another issue in India

 The amazon delivery guy did "forget" one item when he/she/hen delivered my order.

So I will add this to the list of issues I have faced in India (I do not have a list ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Š). But I actually should write one for the future reference and 'fun' reading. 

Let's see how it will be handled and if I will get a refund - money back or if also amazon.in will f*ck it up and if I will ever buy from 'fresh' again.

This is an order a placed from amazon.in fresh which has food, fruits, supplies, beauty and stuff so it is just one part of the the big amazon market place.

Delivery guy just left the items outside the door and did not even ring the bell so I am pretty sure he knew that there was a "missing" item or left out and stored for his later enjoyment. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ˜ก
I have read reviews on amazon that this has happened before.

It is just Coconut Water, 6 pack, that I wanted to try out. Cost: 210 INR which is about 26 SEK.



I ordered 2 packs so I still have one '6 pack' of the Coconut Water so I can still try it out ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

A close call

I have seen lots of bee hives under the roof, I mean where the roof sticks out from the wall and under there, the bees constructs big hives. I not sure how it look here at this new building but we had a close call of getting bees inside our office. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

One window was opened nearby were I was sitting and what happened was that there a lot of bees flying upwards and as the window is vertically opened the bees could be trapped when flying up. However one guy was very quick on closing the window and had a very scary look on his face. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I can understand that as there were a lot of bees, perhaps a couple of hundred.

No pictures of the scary event but here are some other pictures.





I estimate that this hive is about 1-1,5 meter tall.
๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Update: I found one bee in my glassed balcony last night





Morning walk to office and ...

… view from office towards my apartment complex, Brigade Metropolis.

I have decided to be at office every day from morning to lunch time at least. So from about 8 am to 12 am or when ever it can be. This is to get used to the suroundings, the new building and the office itself. 

Some pictures from my walk to the office during morning time about 8 am. Temperatur is about 25 degrees celcius.


The wall provides shade in the morning, good to know for the next coming workdays.


I have no clue what this is???




There is the office building


Now we are getting closer ...


Directly outside the ABB office.


A view from the ABB 7th floor towards my apartment which is in one of the tall buildings.

I guessed my weight!?

I have not been monitoring my weight more than looking in the mirror, feeling the 'love handles' and bumping my belly.

This is due to the fact that my personal scale is in storage and in Sweden, so I have not measured my weight for about 3 months I guess it is now, well something like that.

Yesterday evening when filling in my 'Numbers' cheat (Apple excel application)  named 'Weight and Training India', I made a guess of my weight. In the weight column it is just stated, since 3 month back, "Weight Unknown" ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I guessed 69kg 

This morning I bought on Amazon.in Prime a 'Personal scale' and it arrived this evening.


Ghost in the mirror reflexion.

Of course I could not restrain my self from doing a weigh in right away, and to some surprise I actually weigh less than 69kg.

64,2kg which is good as I was hoping NOT to weigh more than 69kg. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ I though actually it would be over 70.

This only shows how deceiving your own eyes and brain are and they can trick you, I guess this is how eating disorder can manifest it self. I am no doctor but ... 


The morning after and after a poopelipoop ... 63,8kg

Extra info: last weigh in - 68,8kg

India - Heat related health risks

 I got a mail with a warning:

Heat wave conditions have been reported in several parts of India. Exposure to excessive temperatures for a sustained period can pose health risks ranging from relatively mild rashes and sunburn up to heat stroke, a medical emergency. To prevent heat-related illnesses, keep yourself hydrated and avoid exposure to heat.”

H.E.A.T - One by One



Sunshade = Umbrella

 I bought an umbrella for the possible rain comin. Today, walking to office I took advantage of the shade it can provide in the sun, as it hot as ’hรคll’ in the sun.




I finally got my access card so now I can join the office without any support from colleagues.

Yet again, no rest

 So this morning I got up thinking I am not gonna do any exercise today.

Yet I did manage, after a quick morning warmup, do a hard workout. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“

 Now I have done one hour powerwalk around the complex and this was also not planned as I said to my self to rest this afternoon. 


Powerwalk with the usual concerned look.

Resting and writing this blogpost at the amphitheater.


Sunset in an hour.
Very beautiful colors at the moment.



Cage the elephant



Update: after walking back to the house and being 100% certain to take the elevator to the 14th floor and my apartment, I instead walked the stairs to the 20th floor then down to my apartment at 14th floor

Signs of death

 

Signs from this weekend walking around the apartment complex.


Gas storage location


My normal concerned face


Yupp electricity kills


Will not kill you but may impair your hearing … beep beep!!!

Internet is down so am I

 Ooh my god I am so tired of the constant issues with different things here in India.

I think it always something every second day or so.

๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ช

Now the home internet have been down, not working since monday morning. It feels like an eternity and as that is not the only thing, I pay for 75Gb of mobile data from ’airtel’ and that is the worse provider I have encountered. Well it is very cheap ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

Have a look below … ”Say no more!!!”




Speed increases when I am outside walking but I need it as backup at the apartment so it sxcks big time.

Why the 'heck' have I ...

 Hmm am I getting old and senile ?

Why the 'heck' have I the last week thought that I have been here in Bangalore since 3 February ?

This morning I had to check if it was true or if I actually am wrong about that date, and sure I was wrong.

I have been here since the 2 March which is one month less. So what does this mean? Is there a meaning to it or am I just old and senile ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜จ 'Wolly-minded'(fรถrvirrad)?

No I am strong and young and clear minded and balanced and exercise everyday … ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

This is an old picture, I have not been outside today.

Aah so nice …

I got some balcony furniture so I now can enjoy some time sitting relaxing and having a morning coffee or whatever when weather allows it of course. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ


More to come about my ”outdoor” or open air balcony … yes I got another that is ’glassed’, used as an extra room ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘✌️๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

A Powerwalk anyways

 This sunday I planned to take it slow and easy to relax and reenergize my self, it turns out that I needed an extra long and fast powerwalk?!?! OK well I will take it, I now feel great and relaxed.


I found the start.



Back homeon the balcony 



Eeh okey, perhaps a tanktop is not the best right now …

Update: yupp I got a sunburn on my shoulders, I was after a sun tan and not a minor burn.



1200 meters around the complex 

Chips, bananas and watermelon

 Friday night and I need chips.

And to compensate the ’bad’ food I will fool my self  by buying some ’healthy’ food. 



Chips10kr x 2 = 20kr
Bananas 1.2kg 5,50kr
Watermelon 1,6kg 7kr

Update: if you are an health freak, which I am not, I am just trying to eat healthy most of the times. The bananas and watermelon is a no no for the health fanatics out there, but to me it is healthy food compared to McDonalds, Pizza, ...
... and if you eat this on a regular basis then you are fine but some chips now and then is something I cannot be without ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜‚
