13 years and counting!

If you were a primary school student in 2009, chances are you must already by in higher studies or even a job. Heck, even if you had only just joined school in Class 1, you should still have graduated from school to be in college today.

13 years!

While I had begun this blog in July 2008, I had just been writing sporadically - 5 posts in the first month (July) itself, followed by a couple each in August and November.

But it was only in April 2009, 13 years ago, when I made a silent resolution of blogging at least once a month. As it turns out, I have stuck to that resolution quite religiously, so much so that I have barely written more than once a month since then.

But it's still a nice, happy feeling to be able to continue on a nice hobby, to keep writing, and to maintain at least a monthly cadence to this blog, my blog.

You won't really need to be a data scientist to deduce that most of my posts are on my first love - cricket. I don't think I have written anything too radical or earth-shattering but I am still happy enough that this blog has been a nice platform to express and share my thoughts about anything.

Even within cricket, I have been happy to write - to borrow my byline for this blog - "something or the other, about something or the other". Thank you to all of you who have read my posts and mailed in (I am still not too convinced about needing a Comments button, so letting it be as is). I hope to continue writing and sharing more, and at the very least, maintain my monthly dose cycle in future as well.

Thank you for all the love and hope you continue to enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy writing them, Jai Ho!

13 years and counting!

Dear reader(s),

I began writing on something or the other on this platform in 2008. 

As you might see from the archived posts on this blog, what began then was just sporadic jotting. 

And while I might not have written anything too elaborate or exhaustive here, I have always tried to use this medium to just keep writing about anything that is current or appealing enough for me.

Most of my posts have been about cricket and sometimes, about the current socio-political affairs of India. The idea is to just ensure that I stay in touch with the habit of putting my thoughts on the canvas of this blog, every now and then. 

In 2008, when I started off on this journey, I would write a few posts here, and a few there, every few months. That was also fine but I wanted to make this blog a habit. Well, not exactly a particularly taxing or strenuous habit (like a daily or even a weekly blog) but at least once a month. 

So April 2009 onwards, I decided to ensure that I would write about something here at least on a monthly basis.

And here we are today, May 2021. 12 full years of at least one blog post a month. That's quite literally an entire schooling (span) in itself. 

A big thank you to everyone who has been following me, and to every reader who has enjoyed the posts and shared their feedback over email. (Of course, I have still not enabled the Comments section but I would like to keep it that way, at least for now, but I always welcome all your emails)

Here's to more such wonderful milestones in future too!

Take care :)
