Since I last wrote this post, I realised sharing good quality stuff that are actually useful may help a lot of folks out there. Here are 8 more such products:

1. RENPHO massage gun: Upgraded to this massage gun from Caresmith charge X. This costed me about ₹8,000 and is slightly more expensive than usual massage guns you get. And, rightfully so. This is superior in build quality, comes in great packaging, great design, awesome grip and most importantly… it has a single tactile button to control it and is super silent. Highly recommend.

2. Uniball one dream pens: Beautiful pens. Easy clips. Super grip. Multiple colours. Use them as my daily writing tool.

3. Pair of tweezers: Frequently use it to fiddle with smaller materials, components, switches, valves, sensors and such. These have become part of my daily toolkit. I sometimes feel like wearing a chef's uniform just to keep them in pocket. :)

4. Index cards: An integral part of my book reading, idea logging, and note-taking. So far, I have 400+ index cards with notes. I typically carry a few 10s if I have to think more or write about some stuff.

5. Tomtoc messenger bag: I had the same Thule messenger bag for 6 years. Nothing deteriorated. It's the most amazing messenger bag I've owned till date. However, they don't make such bags anymore. Also, it was for a 16" laptops and now I use a 14" one. I was looking for something that's sleek, clean, minimal number of zips but enough compartments. It should also be easy to carry on on-sided shoulder, and cross body. After a year-long search, this Tomtoc Defender A50 was love at first sight.

6. A Muji pouch: Such a simple thing. A pouch to keep your pens, rulers etc. It's slim and one that matched the aesthetics of the Tomtoc bag. Check it out and you may like it.

7. Spigen Carabiner: I wanted something to hang my water bottle onto. So, I got this fitted in one of the bag strap loop on the side so I can hang the bottle loop in it. I like staying hands-free. I like to keep the bottle on me all the time. This is particularly useful when I'm travelling to different cities for work.

8. Silicone magnetic watch band: Didn't go for the official ones or the more popular ones because they were neither comfortable while sleeping with the watch on, nor did I like them. This one's light, comfortable… comes cheap too!
