Decoding My Daily Life
First off, Welcome to the unusual world of Preetham, a software engineer by day and an Instagram reel creator by twilight. If you’re here, congratulations on either falling into my digital rabbit hole or being lured by my Instagram post (hehe!). Now that you’re here, let me take you on a small journey of 4-5 paragraphs filled with anecdotes and a sprinkle of humor.
Archimedes in the Digital Bath!
I’m Preetham, your captain of the journey today. I play with ones and zeros for the main course and devour books for dessert. My brain is a sponge in an ocean of self-help and productivity books, soaking up every tip like a digital age Archimedes. One day, struck by a eureka moment in the shower (because, let’s face it, all great ideas come to us there), I thought, “Why not turn these silver blocks of tips and highlights into Instagram gold?” Hence, @Preetham_julayi was born, not just a handle, but a beacon of enlightenment, or at least, that’s what my two followers (hi mom and dad!) believe.
Appy-ness Over Worry-ness!
Like a modern-day philosopher, I too contemplate the worries of the future, only to realize that worrying is the interest paid on a debt you may not owe. So, I choose to be ‘Appy'(A word I’ve heard somewhere, a happy human with app addiction) .“Keep going,” says a book I read once between sips of overly complicated coffee. Today isn’t just another day; it’s a fresh chance to be a slightly upgraded version of ourselves, like going from Preetham 2.0 to Preetham 2.1 – now with added wit!
Time Capsules and Gadgetry Shenanigans!
Ever heard of a time capsule? They are generally stored for our future-selves to go back and check what our past idiotic-self stored. In the same way, My Instagram (For Now!) is my time capsule, little breadcrumbs of joy that I can trace back to remember the days when my hair was full and my jokes, were slightly less dad-like. To be honest with you, each Instagram reel is a testament to the fact that, Yes, I did something other than binge-watch Cat videos (although that happens more often than I’d like to admit).
Debugging Life, One Post at a Time!
Sharing is caring, my English teacher said. So I share in the social space with a tint of my coding. I compile and execute with happiness, coding the digital landscape with the framework of creativity and bytes of insight (Damn! That’s the most CHAT GPT I’ve ever been.)
To continue the metaphor- From binary to viral, I turn complex concepts into user-friendly content, because who needs a documented manual when you’ve got a developer ready to debug the problems of laziness and find the errors in your productivity, one post at a time? So my Instagram offers, a quick way to tips and hacks of productivity without Buffering :p After all, why read a whole book when you can watch a 30-second clip and pretend you did?
Vines of Wisdom in the Social Media!
But why do I do what I do? Let’s face it, it’s much more entertaining to watch me summarize “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” in a reel under 1:30 seconds than to actually read about them. So, if you’re up for a little edu-tainment (Tat’s education with an extra scoop of entertainment), stick around and press that follow button on my Instagram. Let’s laugh, learn, and maybe, just maybe, grow together like the creepers growing on a tree of wisdom (But tbh, I’m seeing a creeper outside my window right now, ha-ha!). Or at least, have a good chuckle at my attempts.
The Chronicles of Preetham 2.2
Remember, every day is a blank page in the Book of Life. And while I can’t promise that every page will be a masterpiece, I can assure you there will be no shortage of drawings in the margins.
Stay tuned, Stay playful, and let’s turn those ‘Should I really be on Instagram right now?’ moments into ‘I’m so glad I watched that reel’ memories. Onward to Preetham 2.2 – coming soon to an Instagram feed near you!
