April 8, 2025
So yeahh, again woke up at 7 AM. Started working by 8, like usual.
The day started with reading blogs and research articles. Nothing much in the company today — just did security testing for 2 APIs, but there were no findings at all, so I wrapped that up early.
After that, I had an exam planned and gave the Certified API Security Analyst exam from APIsec University. It’s a $300 exam, but I got it for free as a perk — being an ambassador for APIsec University 😎.
I passed the exam with 94% — super happy about that! Feels good to be certified officially!
In the afternoon, I tried to take a nap but couldn't really sleep — just laying there, sweating because summer heat is on the rise 🥵. I was also waiting for my father to arrive from the village to the hospital — had to take him for a checkup. As you already know, he had a stroke around 10 days back, and I’m truly grateful that he’s doing better. He’s such a strong man 💪.
After coming back home, I went for my daily walk. Today I walked 5,980 steps, and that brings the total for April to 45,212 steps.
Usually, I listen to peaceful instrumental music — like piano or guitar. But today, by mistake, this random song started playing: "Aa Seetadevi Navvula". And honestly? I loved it so much that I listened to it on loop at least 10 times. The lyrics, the mood — it’s calm and beautiful. A peaceful break from all the usual loud music vibes.
