What goes on my personal blog?

In this post I wanna discuss about what was in my mind when I first started this blog and how it has changed with time. I've changed a lot over the years and so has my sentiments regarding the world wide web, and obviously this has also affected how I think of my blog.

I started this blog 2 years back with the intention of writing content related to engineering and nothing else. I wanted to put out content about the things I’d learn at work and tech blogs I’d read on the internet. While working I realised the idea of writing about tech doesn’t move me as much, It doesn’t make me wanna getup and research deeply about it not enough to put my write about it. Don’t get me wrong I love reading tech blogs but more than that I like things that are written with emotion and things that I can relate my personal life to.

There were many days last year that I wanted to write about what’s going on in my life, but I’d always hold back because this blog was supposed to have aonly tech blogs not things about my personal life. Why would anyone be interested in reading about it? This thought right here, Why would anyone be interested kept me from writing for a very long time. Now I’ve decided to let go of this reasoning. I’ll write what I want to write about be it my life, tech, art or history.

A lot of my free time is spent on hackernews I keep reading about all kinds of articles there, things related to code migrations, new open source softwares, github being bad, people hating on javascript. I also read about the return of blogs, people thinking about how to manage work life balance, selling onions online and so much more that I can’t even remember right now.

This blog will be the start of things that I wanna write about. Things that’ll truly make this blog my corner of the internet. If you’re reading this I’m a software engineer based in India, I like paintings, posters, music, books and pottery. If you’re someone who contributes to the world by creating anything I’d be interested in it. Go on and create your personal corner on the internet and your work will reach the people that deserve to see the your art.
