Over the years, I’ve journaled on and off, and this habit has brought me clarity and intentionality. Writing helps me reflect, organize my thoughts, and live more deliberately. This year, my big goal is to live more fully and freely. For now, starting this blog is a step toward that goal.
Reasons why I’m starting this blog:
- Grow and learn
- Share what I’ve learned
- Build a community
My interests
The blog will be divided into five (four plus one) sections. Each month, I plan to publish something I dabble with in each of the four sections:
Technology: I’m fascinated by innovations in the tech world, from IoT to fitness trackers. I have played with air quality sensors to home automations to hydration tracking and so on. Watch this section for more on such tinkerings.
Fitness: Fitness is a significant part of my life. Before I had a baby, i used to be more active: From handstands to other forms of calisthenics. These days, I have been exploring more passive ways to stay fit such as fasting, mindfulness, etc. Expect some insightful experiments in this space.
Reviews: I’m an avid consumer of various media, including books, podcasts, music, movies, and news articles. I am more of a random reader (i read many books in parallel, don’t finish most of them). In these adventures, I encounter many amazing quotes and anecdotes that I would like to share with the world.
Experiences: Traveling is a source of inspiration and joy for me. This is a non-negotiable piece of my life. It disconnects me from the day-to-day life and gives a much-needed birds eye view. I’ll document my adventures here. Don’t expect vivid descriptions, travel tips here. It will be mostly some ramblings and mostly video edits capturing some story from these experiences. When not traveling, I will be sharing other insights from other aspects of life.
And then some 
miscellaneous thoughts. These are more likely to come more often than not.
Epilogue
I hope i have shared enough reasons above (some of them as subtext) for why i am starting this blog. More importantly, I hope my enthusiasm comes through.
There are two reasons why you should write a blog too:
- I love learning new things, especially from other people. Writing this blog is my way of sharing, and I look forward to reading and learning from others like you. To grow and learn. To learn and grow.
- Starting a blog is easier than ever. With tools like chatgpt, tasks like brainstorming, editing, and grammar corrections are a breeze. Eg. all the images on this blog are AI generated.
If this isn’t reason enough, I will leave you with a quote that was my part inspiration:
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing
– Benjamin Franklin
