My journey so far

Back in college, I used to travel home by train—a journey that took more than a day. To pass the time, I’d often download movies, sometimes watching up to three in one go. But after binge-watching like that, my mind felt completely burnt out. So, I started paying more attention to the people around me. When that got old, I turned my focus inward.

I’d find myself wondering how to make life better—what new routines should I incorporate, how to tackle my syllabus just in time for exams, whether I should let my hair grow out, or how to run faster or longer. I even pondered why I always ended up next to older passengers or thought about where to stash my luggage safely. Among these thoughts, the idea of journaling hit me. That day I had watched the movie The Pursuit of Happyness and was feeling especially grateful for my family, I opened a diary app and poured out my thoughts. And that’s how my journey with journaling began.

Writing to connect and inspire

Once in a month while scrolling through the internet I find an article which really pushes the boundaries of my thinking. That’s the kind of person I want to become—a writer who gets people to think differently. I want to blog, some posts might be good, some might be not-so-great. But if sharing my journey can inspire even one person, then putting my thoughts out there would be totally worth it.
