My Thankfulness for Blogging Contests #thankfulthursdays

When i started my blog a few months ago i would often think how long would i be able to continue this blog,  how could the ideas keep coming, after all the ideas would vanish after writing   40 or 50 posts.  But No, i was wrong .  When you jump into the writing world , the ideas just keep flowing, and for this flow, i am very very thankful to the various Blogging Contests.  Such contests motivate you to  write and read too. You can’t be a good writer if you don’t read. The more You read , more You wish to  Write. blogging contests

Blogging Contests help me in lot many ways :–

Blogging Contests challenge  and motivate me  – Contests have a fixed theme and a deadline too. I work the best when given a challenge otherwise my mind prefers sleeping. Such challenges push me and make me realize ” YES, I can do it “. The motivating comments on the posts and the best post badges make me feel like paragliding . I still cherish my #MMM badge for my post challenges of Motherhood , Dr Amrita gave me .

Blogging Contests encourage discipline – Discipline plays a great role in every part of life & blogging contests help instill it. Contests like #writetribe and #MyfriendAlexa help me write and read consistently , when i am asked to complete a particular writing task on a fixed time.

Blogging Contests help to make virtual friends– My participation in the few Blogging Contests has given  me a number of virtual friends from different  cities.  When you get to know  other people  who are working on the same niche , you learn from each other . These virtual friends form a team and are always ready to help each other.

Blogging Contests  help broaden my vision – When you are prompted to think &  write on varied topics , your vision is broadened . In my case , I have started looking at all things differently whether a blogpost could be created out of it . I think I have even  started listening to people more carefully if their words could be quoted in my #quotedstories .  Do i sound funny ? Doesn’t  it happen with you  ?

Blogging Contests churn me to bring out fiction– I could never imagine  myself writing  fiction. But #Fridayfotofiction started by my virtual friends Tina and Mayuri ignited this spark . Now whenever there is a  fiction prompt , my mind keeps that prompt even in my dreams and next day, the fiction is ready.

I was able to complete it successfully . I learnt many new blogging tips during this challenge , rather I am still learning . Thanks to the mentors of the challenge who keep pushing us .  The mentors Dr Amrita and Dr Bushra helped in every way through their tutorials and newsletters . The challenge helped inculcating dedication in writing , reading , and learning from each other too . My DA also improved , my blog DA as on date is 22 and credit goes to #superbloggerchallenge2018. Hope to keep learning from the mentors through #superbloggeracademy which is a blogging academy and helps bloggers to bring out the best in them .

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy' 

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember how i  had to bear my daughter

Keep Yourself Alive

 Are you alive ? Are you thankful that you are alive ? I am writing this in some spare  time at my workplace and a few minutes ago I got to know about the sudden death of one of our collleagues  . Always smiling and helpful to all , he was in his early forties . Leaving his family and kids crying  , he just decided to fly away , may be to a happier world ( atleast that's what i wish )  Well ! I never intended to begin with  anything of this sort but today's news has left me disturbed you know .  All i can do is to be thankful that I am alive , hale n hearty . Life is so unpredictable you see but still we all have filled our life with hatred , jealousy , competition, ego , leg-pulling , stress, frustration and what not . You or Me can just disappear in a moment and then ?  Let's simplify our life ....a life which is easy going , happy and filled with love for all . Let's stop rushing ! Let's stop judging others ! Let our ego go off with smiles , hugs and gratitude fo
