Learn how to better write and promote your articles. — The fact that I published my first article on July 8, 2021, and it has been one year of writing on this platform, quite slipped my mind. I had planned on writing a casual post on July 8. But damn, I missed my one-year anniversary. Sorry, Medium. But better late…

The article is just for fun; not intended to insult or criticise ☺ — Writing and editing numerous stories has made me almost adamant about typos. I can’t bear them. I make a lot of them myself, but the point is, I catch them easily when I am reading something. I want to correct it if I can, but most of the time, I…

There’s a lot to say… and I am not shy when I am writing on this platform — People write diaries and journals. I don’t. I can count on my left hand the times I’ve made a streak of penning something down what I’d like to call a ‘dear diary’. It’s just a scribble here or a line there; but seldom is it a full-fledged, page-long write-up. I…

Subtle things you don’t pay heed to as far as obsessing over something is concerned — “Don’t get obsessed.” This is one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever heard. Not to question or doubt the credibility of someone, but I believe this to be just another of those ‘this-sounds-good advice.’ People often view obsession as a negative thing, similar to how drugs and…

Following that balance between work and play… — Every time I quit writing, things become overwhelming for no good reason. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but there might be a connection. I accept that I procrastinate sometimes (a lot of times, to be honest) and I am shown its repercussions in the long term. It’s like the pain…

Hey, I just stole that term from my favourite book. Hope you don’t mind — I am a big fan of reading. I am even a bigger fan of re-reading my favourite books. I have only a couple. The other day, I was just going through the randomness between the pages of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant. Two words for the book? It’s wonderful! It’s…

A teenager’s brushstrokes on navigating life — an abstract one — There used to be a playlist on my Spotify that I listened to on repeat — pov: you’re in love. It’s still there and I’m listening to it as I pen down my midnight thoughts. I listened to the songs in this playlist after quite a while, and it all…

2 commonly misunderstood aspects of productivity and being productive — Productivity is a double-edged sword. Being productive, on the one hand, can make you feel at the top of the world. But at the same time, it might be leading you to burnout in disguise. That cycle is news to no one. We are so used to having those mountain-high…

A weird (but interesting) story idea I got while exploring my Stats page — I started writing on Medium after a long break. And that means I have got a lot to catch up on. First of all, this editor in Medium’s app is dope. It’s making me nostalgic. Anyone else? Then there’s this revamped Tags/topic page (tbh, I seriously don’t know the difference…
