5 Things I Learned from Blogging Again

go-for-whatever-makes-you-happy

Hello scribblers,

 How are you all? Long time since my last open letter to you. I know, I know, I was the one who had been absent for so long. Blogging again really seems like a comeback to me- can't even remember the past few years, they were so busy and fast. They still are, but writing is something I loved and therefore I have decided to give it my best effort by managing my time better. I started blogging again at the start of this year, and I am happy to be continuing it. And in this past month or so, there are a few things I have learned:

 Consistence is important, in everything we do. Even when we don't feel like doing it. Each day is different, and some days it takes a lot of extra work to get the thoughts from mind to paper. A little push on those days, and a bit of scheduling on the good days can help you on those seemingly bad ones. 

 It's quality, not quantity. The number of followers doesn't matter as much as the engagement with them. The number of posts doesn't matter, what matters more is that you like what you write. Yes, we need to have a social presence and we need to interact an build connections, and it is very easy to get carried away with the race for building the number of followers. But, what matters more is that you are enjoying what you are doing. 

Not everyone will believe in you, but the few who do make all the difference. We expect our friends to be the supporter of our dreams and ambitions at the very minimum (that's what friends are, right?), but the real ones are barely a handful. I am lucky to have such those few in my life.

We need to make time. There will always be something that needs to be done. I work 40+ hours a week, and also I need to study. It becomes really hard to get into a peaceful state of mind which I need to think and write. But, none of it comes naturally, not in this fast paced life. We need to prioritize the things we want to do and also the things we need to do, and manage our time accordingly.

 And last, but not the least- the person who gave me the nudge to start this blog in the first place, is still probably the only person who still likes to help me out and invest in my dreams. She is a Madhubani artist- I love her paintings and the detailing in her art pieces. Send her some love here! 

I still tend to get overwhelmed with all the things that I have to juggle, now and in future too, but this is something I want to continue. And you all keep inspiring me!

Love and hugs,
DT

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
