Dan Bilzerian lifestyle isn't real.
Instagram is too flashy, Twitter is too political, Facebook is just bakwas.
I was talking to the tattoo artist Lokesh Verma on an Instagram Live session and that is when he said that what we are aspiring through the influence of social media might not always be something we need. It is relatively correct on for multiple subjects.
To share an example from my personal life about this was when my mom asked me today while we were just doing our Sunday cleaning routine “when are you going to wear all these t-shirts?” I have probably 100 or may be even more t-shirts but in this lockdown I only wear two or three t-shirts. But why did I even buy so many in the first place? Not trying to give you all gyaan about having a minimal lifestyle, for that you can watch the Minimalism documentary on Netflix.
And then I was also listening to Udja Kale Kawan from Gadar today and it has the lyrics ‘Ye Chotisi Zindagi Hai Raata Lambiyaan Te Lambiyaan’ , it all made sense to keep the title of today’s email about Dan Bilzerian.
