FSoL: That's how we celebrate jobs!
So I graduated this year. Back in June I think, or that’s what the certificates will mention. There is this tendency though of people getting kicked in their butts once they get placed, or on their birthdays, or because it rains, or sometimes without no reason. All that is

We are all inspired!
I was doing this thing on, and with First Time Novelist, where I was posting stuff related to writing in general. At the end I’d put up a postscript stating my current progress on the novel. This is that post. There is this theme of generalisation that does go

The benefits of living with T1D
It was a fine morning. I was on the hospital bed having just been told that I had diabetes. That was a couple of years ago, in the month of January. I was scared. Life had changed, and how! Two years later, I kind of feel its been a blessing

Five Seconds of Life: 1. The trip
So here’s how its going to workout I guess. Each week, on the first day I’ll post a five second video. I might or might not add some text to it. That will take care of one out of the three days when I need to post something

Why should I read?
We’ve been taught from a very early age to look for stuff when we read, you know stuff like morals, summaries, questions, answers. I remember being taught poems in Hindi, my mother tongue, the language I was most comfortable with. Taught, yes. I remember being taught the meaning of

Flow
“1991 is as far from you as is 2030” It has been a week since I wrote something for the blog. It has been a particularly tiring week this. Both with the literal and the non-literal scenario. The story is finally going fine, but not without its hiccups. It was

Good Days, Bad Days
There are days like, let’s say yesterday, when everything seems to be falling into place; the characters seem to be doing stuff on their own. There seem no boundaries, no restrictions to the world you’ve created. Once you start writing, the words just keep flowing, naturally and seamlessly.

Why planning is important, but irrelevant
I like having a faint bit of predictability in my work. a faint bit, though. I like knowing how things are going to pan out, sort of like knowing the destinations, even though the paths may vary. It is not a hard and fast rule this. Many a times I
