I am Shreyashi, and this is my blog. My husband and I are software engineers working in the US for a decade. In my experience, the work of a software engineer is not very physically demanding, compared to other jobs, but it's mentally strenuous. By the end of the week, it leaves us very exhausted even though we didn't do much physical work, even though we took optimal care of our body and had nutritional food. The same routine over and over again makes us like bots, and we start living a mechanical life, we stop being creative, stop being fun, stop taking risks, stop dreaming of doing the impossible.
