To Writing More!

Image
By
This year I celebrated 10 years of blogging. And I told myself, this year is make or break. Either I take writing seriously, or I stop this languid approach I have towards writing, altogether. Thankfully, the former happened.
And so, after years of writing (and not writing in long periods), I have, for the first time ever, taken the plunge into writing formally. 
As of this month, I am now a Staff Writer on The Decision Lab, a behavioural science think tank that takes the lead in publishing content related to the subject. 

 Here's my first article for them!

 Needless to say, this blog stays alive to see another day. I know, I know. Blogger sucks. Hard to comment. Time to move on and all that. But, you know, nostalgia.

 So, I'll still keep posting here. If nothing else, links to my articles on Decision Lab.

 Cheers!

    Awesome article..but I remember reading your potato story in this blog only before.. anyways.. nostalgia..
    I totally agree with your last paragraph however.. please continue writing in ..a personal blog but please do continue in WordPress.. You would be having a whole big blogging community following you instead of some spooky advertiser !!😉 I would miss reading your articles when you start writing less often 🥺

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was...

The Truant Family!

By
The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...
