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.

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 ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
