The 52 Week Writing Challenge - Introduction

I recently came across a targeted ad on Instagram for a writing challenge that offered 52 prompts - 1 every week that allows you to dive deep into yourself and churn out written material. 

Now this is technically a self paced course, so while it is supposed to last a year, suppose you had to take a break because say you were writing super important professional level exams mid way through the year and did not have the time to actually sit and write anything, you could skip those two weeks, and play catch-up later, or not as you wished.

This seemed too good an opportunity to pass up and since it had come up towards the end of the year, it seemed like the perfect way to kick off the new year.

So this is the introductory post for what is going to be (hopefully) 52 weekly posts on topics that are extremely self exploratory and introspective. I may write intermittently on other topics as well, depending on my mood and how much the creative juices are flowing through me, but this course is largely to create a discipline around writing regularly. While this course helps me discover myself and build a healthy habit, maybe, just maybe, you may find something in my words that helps you as well :)

The course is called "A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self" and it can be found here, in case you want to try it yourself. Happy Writing and Self-Discovering!

The End of the Spotify Era?

Your favourite artist may be on their way to take down their music from Spotify. If you suddenly can’t seem to find the song you were listening to on Spotify, you may be interested to know that several musicians are in the process of taking down their music from being available on the streaming platform, if they haven't already. Here's Why - 1.       Lowest royalty payout rates for artists – Spotify is infamous in the music industry for being the platform with some of the lowest royalty payout rates for artists. This is particularly important since the payment structure is not a per play per day basis, but on a slice-of-pie basis. Basically, Spotify keeps a percentage of the total revenue it receives and distributes the rest based on the streams generated by the artist on a pro-rated basis. While this appears fair, however, the existence of bot streams (which are ridiculously easy to buy) complicates the matter since bot streams significantly reduce the section of t...

People We Have Lost

The title of this post is a trigger warning in itself, but just to be sure, there are going to be some heavy topics discussed in this one so if you are not ready to read something like this or are not in a space to tackle issues of love and loss, I would suggest revisiting this post another time. I doubt there is a single person on this planet who has not experienced loss - be it that of a loved one (human or fur baby), a favourite object, or relationships. We have all been at the receiving end of that merciless blow that life deals - sometimes, it isn’t as painful, we just stand up, brush the dust off our shoulders and move on. Sometimes though, the blow can be life altering. Loss is a feeling I am reasonably familiar with. Not only have I lost numerous possessions to the void of clumsy forgetfulness (I am convinced there is a galactic lost and found box that holds all the hair clips and rubber bands l have misplaced over the years with the only explanation for their random disapp...

Beginnings

It seems oddly serendipitous to begin the new year with a post titled "Beginnings", although this one has been in my drafts for an embarrassingly long time now. Much like most other posts, this post would also have looked very different had I written what I originally had in mind. However in the several intervening months between my last post and this one, life changing things have happened, the most significant one being that my sister officially moved to Korea to start her journey as an MBA student (and by the time this is posted, she has even completed a semester; so much for being regular with these posts). To say that my sister and I are close would be quite the understatement. Saying “ joined at the hip, reading each other's thoughts, and telepathically communicating even when not in each other's line of sight ” would be a more accurate description. So having her go from living 3 steps away across the dining room to 5,583 km spanning 7 time zones away is not ...
