Not everything goes according to a plan and that’s life—precisely. — First of all, it doesn’t feel real. Then you (kinda) feel proud on yourself. Have you ever been with a friend and did something that you’d have never done solo? Studying the whole night, cycling around the city, hitch-hiking to the City Mall…. It’s adventurous. It feels like you’ve done…

Life. Decisions. Opportunities — What, How, When, and Where Today, I came across a picture when I was reading one of my favorite newsletters, The Curiosity Chronicle by Sahil Bloom. My other favorite newsletter is warikoo wanderings by Ankur Warikoo, one of my favorite YouTubers. I don’t know why but I felt like mentioning it. Although the picture in…

But sorry to inform you he doesn’t write on Medium anymore. — Lately, I’ve been reading Medium a lot. I read several articles that are unique, creative, or mind-boggling. From technology to spirituality. It’s never been more fun exploring across disciplines. It’s never been more fun learning something new. Of course, of most things I read, I’m unable to understand it fully…

A shortform turned 450-word preaching 😅 — It’s internet era. What not to consume is becoming more important than what to. What not to let take our mind space is becoming more important than what to. Content over-consumption isn’t a new problem for us. And luckily there’s a solution for that. Most of us know that. But…

A deeper look into life, wealth, career and more. — So let’s get straight into it. 1. Money buys you freedom. And freedom is a privilege. Having a situation where you can choose among options is a luxury Money brings this luxury more than anything else 2. Learning how to love ourselves is this journey called life. Life becomes much easier when we are confident self-confidence comes from self-love

Here is what you may be, disguised as “going viral” — As writers on Medium, you might pray for that one viral article that can earn hundreds of thousands of views and also bring home, i.e. in your bank account, some big bucks. Let me tell you one thing: Virality may not be what you’re searching for. I myself was looking…

What to call this masterpiece? — It’s often said that ‘if it’s important, keep it short.’ But does that mean as short as only six words? Can you tell something more vividly in just six words than 50,000? I don’t think so. And I’m happy I was wrong. Just look at this: ‘For sale: baby shoes…

If you know, please tell me. — I think my Chrome’s screen-time is high because there’s an URL that goes by the name ‘medium.com/me/stats’. In other words, I just can’t stop staring at my stats. I just can’t resist; it’s so tempting. It’s great to plan your articles based on the data from your stats. But looking…

Well, that’s an unpopular opinion, or is it? — The addictions of the 21st century are heavily foundational on “curiosity”. Else why you’d unlock your phones like 80 times a day? (Source) Else why would you keep doomscrolling Twitter or watch reels after reels on Instagram? Have you noticed something even more interesting: When this “curiosity” combines with “instant gratification”, its powers increase exponentially. Cheap dopamine is becoming cheaper!

A dilemma between short-term and long-term — Many writers fall into the trap of follow-for-follow. They follow a ton of random people and expect them to follow back. Then ultimately they unfollow those who had not followed them back. This is quite a popular strategy of gaining followers real quick on a number of platforms including Medium…

It happens. It’s Life. — We feel something but don’t know why. This may lead to frustration and disappointment and low self-esteem. I don’t know about you, but as a teenager, a million things keep going on in my mind—some real and some totally made up. You know what I mean, right? What to do? Look, I’m not…

And that makes me happy and sad at the same time. — Lately, I was just hopping around on my stats page and noticed something interesting. That my most popular article had more views than my most viewed month. I was ecstatic enough to not plan any outline for this article and jump straight in. Month v/s Article

You may need to rephrase your apologies a lil bit. — Recently I completed the book “The Communication Book: 44 Ideas For Better Conversations Everyday” by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler, and in those 44 ideas, one was about how to apologize correctly. It is not something life-altering, but yet, I think most of us can implement it in our daily…

Medium is special — I recently read Sara Burdick’s story and decided to write a small appreciation article for Medium. I can’t agree more with you, Sara. Medium has given us so many opportunities and, more than anything, a safe place to put our words and thoughts out there. Medium is the place that…

Take notes. It’s that simple. — I don’t think taking notes is a way to “be organised” for me. Rather it’s the complete opposite! But..well, let’s face this. If I open my notes app — that is Notion — now, I will find random articles, notes, maybe just words (!) here and there. Something like this:

Oh, I think I’m late writing this post. Wait, when you’re on time, Vritant? So, Happy New Year to y’all ❤️ Last year was no less than a roller coaster ride. Ups and downs like never before. Cause I’m 15 so nothing serious happened with me. …

And that too in one place. — There’s hardly anyone on the Internet who doesn’t use Google or its services that ranges from Google Search to YouTube, Android to Gmail and many many many more (I mean those “many”)! And that means it has a hell lot of data about me, you and anyone who uses it. The same is the case with other tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. But fortunately, Google is transparent (kind of) with the data it collects and stores. You can see all of your data stored by them in one place: Google Takeout.

Sorry but I don’t have a photo to share. — There’s nothing much to tell. Just wanted to post an update that I’ve got my first dose of vaccine today. I’m feeling perfectly normal, as of now, just like before taking any vaccine. Except for a slight pain in the arm muscles, nothing serious. + it feels good, and safer…

And, to be honest, I don’t know how that feels — So, I’m leaving for my hostel a few hours from now. As I’m a high schooler (yes, I’m 15!), and my school is over 1,000 km far from where I am now, it’s obvious that I stay in a hostel… Before the second wave of corona happened.

To all 567 of you guys — Today I woke up from my afternoon nap to see this beautiful number below my profile on my tablet. So I decided to write, edit and post from this special tablet. Weird enough, right? Haha it actually is!!! So you can not add caption to an image and not alt…
