Toh you aren't a photoshop type, you are ms paint type ?

You can buy a tablet and stylus and start or buy one of those drawing pads that work with laptop and Photoshop. 
 On tablet some apps have basic tutorials on sketching or you can look up some digital artists on ytube.  
 If you want to work professionally then buy a wacom tablet.

I have ipad allready so tools are not the problem, it is the group and motivation and little bit of inspiration

I have always dreamt of playing an electric guitar on stage. I started to learn guitar in late 2020 and it's been 1.5 years since I stopped playing it do to multiple reasons like bad time management, upskilling for switching, work etc.

I always wanted to work in companies not directed towards IT such as Mercedes Benz, Philips, Samsung,  Siemens, Ather etc and work in areas where UI/UX design overlaps with physical product design. Physical product design is my first love and will continue to be so as that field still fascinates me. Not everyone is privileged enough to pursue their passions and might have to work in certain areas where they are partially interested and pay is good coz, hey! We gotta pay bills.

I wanted to learn multiple languages and was learning German a couple of years ago. Again, due to the reasons listed above, I had to drop out. I want to travel abroad for work, work in multi cultural teams etc.

I always wanted to run marathons and reach the top of Nandi Hills (a hill on the outskirts of Bangalore) by cycling because I was once a obese kid and wanted to prove myself wrong. Now, I have to loose 13 kilos and I'm on working on it. But I sometimes wonder if I can do these things as I had so much to work on.

I was pretty good in sketching. In fact, I was pretty good once upon a time in my design school. Now, I barely sketch. I don't want to loose that part of me who use to sketch day and night. I want to have an Instagram page with all the digital illustrations I wanted to make.

We live in times where one has to consistently switch jobs, upskill everyday, spend time with family and friends (not that I don't want to, but I also love my personal time), take care of aging parents, take care of kids, take care of household, travel to work, get enough sleep for 6-7 hours a day- basically be an adult.

I sometimes wonder if life is nothing but a graveyard of dreams. I understand that one can't do everything in life and sacrifice is inevitable in life.

Folks who are 30 y/o and above, do you still have dreams or are following your dreams while responsibilities pile up in life?

There are lots of study groups for DSA and basic programming and development. But I have never found a study group dedicated for adv. Programming stuff like design patterns and system design. 

How about making a group for the same?

Let's create a group about learning advanced programming for experienced folks

Technology is moving faster. Being a person doing work from home , I am feeling outdated with the new technologies specifically AI. My YouTube and other social media feeds are completely filled with shitty things. Are there any YouTube channels or podcasts or sub reddits that have amazing tech discussions and features latest tech news.

Feeling outdated

I feel I've wasted years of my life in being inconsistent in whatever I take up. I've been working out for approx. 4 years of my life but have been super inconsistent in going to the gym, and sticking to my diet. I'm in the physique that I was around 4 years ago. All the inconsistent effort I had put in these 4 years has gave me nothing. I've wasted thousands on supplements, personal trainers, gym subscriptions and in the end, I'm back to square one.

The same goes to my hobbies. Been trying to learn an instrument and have been inconsistent with my classes.
In the end, I've wasted my money on time on the classes. Have also bought 2 instruments and both the instruments are just gathering dust.

Enrolled myself to a foreign language class and I failed to complete the classes- it's because of my pathetic time management skills & the inability to be inconsistent in practicing and working on the assignments,

Upskilling- LOL! I have no idea how many thousands I have spend on courses and I'm sure I haven't completed ONE- at least ONE course. Reason- pathetic time management skills & inability to focus on course. I am extremely impatient, I get distracted easily and I fail to complete the given tasks. 

I'm married, I'm a 30 years old obese guy and I'm earning just 15 LPA. Not that I'm dumb coz I believe I have some intelligence in me but I feel I'm doomed for life if I continue to be like this.

I realised that the key to overcoming these issues is being consistent in whatever I pick up. But i fail to be inconsistent in whatever i pick up. I've also realised that I have pathetic will power. I lack will power to an extent that if given a change to fight for my life or just die, I would prefer just dying as it would take less effort compared to fighting back to live.

How can I work on my will power and save my ass from getting fucked by life? I am already suffering due to my actions and lack of actions & I feel it's high time for me to stop continuing to be the way I am.

How can I stay consistent in whatever I take up? Be it upskilling, fitness or even hobbies?

I am new to the art and craft business and have started with some basic mandala designs. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can improve and advance my skills?

Hey guys..!!
If you are interested in group travelling and make connections with techies do comment down..!!

Let’s create a community for solo travelers we make it as group travelers for next trip anyone interested ping me or comment down base location Bangalore ?

I work as a data scientist in a remote setting. I meet my team once a quarter. Here in Bangalore all my friends and my wife have work from office so I end up getting too lonely working from home. Also, this has shrinked my network compared to before. How are others in the city handling this? What forums, IRL places do you visit to counter this. Imho, This surely isn't great for long term career prospects.

Look on the positive side. You have a job which is remote.

Hi folks, I’m looking to join communities that do fun activities over the weekends in Bangalore or online

Any recommendations?

Interesting communities in Bangalore/online?

Business Analyst

I joined my first job 2 months ago and am already bored. The work is monotonous and barely requires intellectual effort or creativity. 

I have been interested in Graphics and AR/VR since my initial year in college. And feel like I should take a leap of faith and join someone trying to build something exceptional in this field. 

Looking to know and connect with people trying to do something related to this.

Any founders working domains of Computer Graphics, Augmented/Virtual Reality, Metaverse)?

Hey everyone, 
If there is anyone from designer background wanting to collaborate for a design project (specially UI/UX project, it can be any ongoing project or a project from scratch )like a side project which we both can mutually decide on what topics to work on for building up a good portfolio or someone who is willing to help, to learn UX designing is also welcomed.
Just wanted to collaborate with someone new so that I could also keep up myself with the ongoing trends of the market and upskill myself.
Thank you!!

Collaboration ?

Hey Bangalore folks,

I could use your help! I'm on the hunt for a UI/UX design internship. Mind taking a quick look at my portfolio and sharing your thoughts? Also, if you know of any internship openings or have tips to share, I'd really appreciate it!

Bangalore: Help Me Land a UI/UX Internship! 👩🏻‍💻

Hi guys,
As you have already read, I am planning to start a roadmap in 2024, YES !

I am not one of those Didi Bhaiya’s doing it for Fame/money. The twist is I am planning to do it anonymously on grapevine and will try to solve as many doubts as i can on DM’s ( Again Anonymously)

I have the roadmap that is completely free, videos, lectures, notes and everything is collected from amazing creators and is already free and i will never recommend any paid course, I PROMISE.

If i get 30+ comments, then i am happy to start the Day 1 to Day 24 ( 6 hours each) detailed roadmap.

Also, since all of us here are working Mon-friday. 
The roadmap is for 12 weekend (24 days) and IMO that is enough to into Faang game preparation. If you need more you can practice for another 2-3 months on yourself.

Thanks !
