The Face Behind The Blog

Hey my lovely readers! How are you all? I know I am a bit late, but I wish you all a happy new month that’s filled with love and happiness.

Anyways, moving on with the post, today I am going to be doing this exciting tag “The Face Behind The Blog”.  I want to thank my friends Jan and Olivia from for nominating me. I am so grateful for both of them and that blogging brought us together from different parts of the world.  I love their blog a lot and I’m sure you’ll do to. So, don’t forget to like, follow, and subscribe to their blog.

Jan on The Blog and Olivia Lucie Blake

The Questions Were:

Who am I?

Well I think it’s pretty obvious what my name is so I will miss that part out! I’m a 20-year-old media student trying to learn the nuances of new age media.

Where am I from?

I am from India – better known for its varied culture, incredible architecture and most importantly the delicious Indian food.

What’s a perfect day?

My perfect day would be waking up really late in the morning, having my breakfast while watching T.V. Then after lunch, I would go out for shopping with my family, spend some lovely time with them, maybe watch a movie and return home back in the evening. And finally, after that long tiring day, I would just lay down on my bed and binge-watch Netflix while having dinner. Last but not the least, I will go to sleep.

What do I do?

 I am currently in my Second Year of University and I’m doing a course in (BAFTNMP) – Bachelor of Arts in Films, Tv and New Media Production.  

Why do I blog?

I blog because I love to express myself in the form of writing rather than speaking and blogging is a platform where I can express my views, thoughts, and opinions well. I love connecting with people online and it makes me really happy when people comment on my blog and tell me about their likes, dislikes and much more. I just want to say that blogging is something that makes me feel alive.

HOW MY BLOG STARTED

I started my blog a few months back during lockdown. I was bored with the same rut of eating, sleeping, watching TV and doing nothing. I felt this urge to indulge into something that would keep me busy and productive. One fine day, I got the idea of getting into blogging, thanks to my mom who’s a writer herself. I pondered over the thought and decided to give it a chance. Honestly, I didn’t know the ABC of blogging at that moment. But I was keen to experiment. With a lot of thinking and ideation, I came up with the name and lo, the blog was soon ready. I reluctantly posted my first story and slowly started getting some response. That motivated me to keep writing, and I did! Twice or even thrice a week. Over the time, things changed but my love of writing remained. Today, here I am, with 400+ followers!! I am very grateful for my lovely WordPress community that gave me a space to express my thoughts and views about the things I feel passionate about. Blogging has boosted my confidence and transformed me into this whole new person who is now strong, confident, and proud of herself. Thank you all!

ADVICE FOR NEW BLOGGERS

My advice for the new bloggers:

  1. Write for yourself first.
  2. Be passionate about your writing.
  3. Be consistent on your blog.

I would just like to say that I really enjoyed participating in this tag as I think It is the little joys of life that matter the most but unfortunately, we often fail to recognize just how important they are in making us happy. We are so occupied trying to achieve the bigger things in life, it isn’t tough for us to lose focus of the simpler things around.
