Lifestyle

Channel update: why the video is back

  • He hadn’t posted for about a year (his last major post was around the previous September).
  • People he knows—including cycling contacts—were checking if he was okay, asking whether he was “alive,” “hiding,” or in trouble.
  • He made this video as a light “update” after being off-camera, and to address that concern.

Biggest life update (Canada): study → career

  • He moved to Canada to complete a program in Business Analytics, as a career switch into HR.
  • He worked in HR and aimed to build a predictive HR model.
  • He completed the course with High Honors / A+ level performance.
  • His capstone/project focused on employee recruitment and involved building a predictive model, which impressed his professor.
  • After finishing, his employer hired him full-time—now working ~40 hours/week and work-from-home.

Busy health/fitness routine (cycling + commuting)

  • He cycled daily to the gym, about 4 km one-way (roughly 8 km round trip).
  • He also mentions regular cycling and staying active despite a packed schedule.
  • When public transport didn’t work out, he sometimes used Uber to stay on track for work/school commitments.

    • Food/eating: around 2:00
    • Then back to class
  • He balanced school and part-time work (up to 24 hours/week) without missing class days.
  • He said he rarely had to take a day off for work and was mostly not late—sometimes using Uber when buses didn’t line up.

Travel / personal breaks

  • He had a business trip around December lasting about 20 days:
    • Working across India time and US time
    • Working extended hours in the mornings
  • After that, he took a two-week personal break.

Immigration / permit situation in Canada (timing matters)

  • He completed the course by mid-August.
  • He received a course completion letter on Aug 22.
  • After that, his student permit expired, and he applied for a work permit.

  • During this time, he couldn’t travel back home.
  • Later, he needed:
    • A work permit
    • Then a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to leave and return

Apartment move + lifestyle setup (organized life)

  • He and others moved into a small flat.
  • He emphasizes a lifestyle tip: organization makes life easier, especially in a foreign country.
