Back with a bang (Nah not really)!

Okay this note is for me - you did it ! Visiting my blog after 6 years, what was I thinking ? Nothing really,  floating with the waves of my journey. Today I'm penning my thoughts about emotional well being.


Blogging after a long hiatus of six years can feel both exciting and daunting. My tips to help ME get back into the swing of things:


1. **Reflect on Your Journey**: Take some time to reflect on the past six years. What experiences have you had? How have you grown and changed? What new insights or perspectives do you have to share? Use this reflection to guide your content and reconnect with your audience.


2. **Reconnect with Your Audience**: Reach out to your previous readers and followers to let them know you're back. Use social media, email newsletters, or other channels to rekindle connections and invite them to join you on your blogging journey once again.


3. **Update Your Blog**: If your blog platform or design feels outdated, consider giving it a refresh. Update your theme, layout, and any other elements to make it more visually appealing and user-friendly.


4. **Set Realistic Goals**: Don't put too much pressure on yourself to immediately reach the same level of success you had before. Set realistic goals for your blogging journey, whether it's posting a certain number of times per week or month, growing your audience, or monetizing your blog.


5. **Rediscover Your Voice**: Take some time to rediscover your writing voice. Experiment with different topics, styles, and formats until you find what feels authentic and resonates with you.


6. **Stay Consistent**: Consistency is key to building and maintaining an audience. Set a regular posting schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Consistency not only helps you stay connected with your audience but also boosts your visibility in search engine results.


7. **Engage with Your Audience**: Foster engagement with your audience by responding to comments, asking questions, and encouraging feedback. Building a sense of community around your blog can enhance the overall experience for both you and your readers.


8. **Stay Updated**: The blogging landscape may have evolved since you last blogged regularly. Stay updated on current trends, best practices, and new tools or platforms that can enhance your blogging experience.


9. **Enjoy the Process**: Above all, remember to enjoy the process of blogging. Let your passion and enthusiasm shine through in your writing, and don't forget to have fun along the way.

Embrace the journey ahead with enthusiasm and creativity.

What's on my mind now

How hard can job hunt be ? Two simple words, but a long process behind it. As on July 2010, the unemployment rate in USA stands at 9.5%, including 14.6 Million unemployed persons. ( source - US Census Bureau) Where are the jobs ? Are unpaid internships even worth the time and effort ? Especially in Houston - spending all that money on filling your gas tank, and daycare, in pursuing an unpaid internship while in school ? I don't know ! Hi-Tech thieves selling children's social security numbers long before the little one's even have a bank account ! How horrific ..

Scars of time

Situations we wish never happened in the first place, certain periods of time that seemed to pass very slow, like eternity but that will also pass. But there is always a reminder lingering in the mind, i think it is subconcious, and is there to stay in you for as long as you live.

Discovering the 'Roots'

I remember being fascinated by a TV commercial for a website called Ancestry.com. It was a new concept, in 2005 perhaps.  I love how in the US, they trace the roots with the Social Security Number  and form the family tree. Hailing from India, a country that has existed and birthed generations much earlier that the US; I often wish that our ancestors had some sort of tracking mechanism. I'm glad that the PAN number concept has sprung up in recent times, but nevertheless. How many of us can pin point where we came from?  I would love to know though. Many of us have moved cities. Many of us have parents that made the move earlier on in their careers. I know Indians in the US who were born here because their great grand parents moved here in 1950s. I am curious to know more about my Ancestory. We don't have any tracking mechanism such as Social Security numbers, but it would be nice if I knew the profession the men folk were ...
