Blogging Marathon in my Mind #Barathon 2018

I have been blogging for the last around one year . I should not address myself as a newbie blogger now , but still I feel high or low as a blogger sometimes . There are times when I  motivate myself to write blog posts or be active on social media but there also come some times when I feel like quitting blogging . There is a blogging marathon running in my mind all the time – sometimes positive and sometimes negative . Here are the thoughts which peep into my mind as a blogger .

1. Blog Blog Blog – what should I blog about ? A story or a poem ? My life experience or my dreams ?

2. Other bloggers ask me – What’s your niche ? What should I answer them ? I think think and think but I don’t reach to any conclusion . What actually I want to share with my readers ? Rather what actually should I share with my readers ?

3. Why did I name my blog AluBhujia ? Did I plan to write about food earlier or just because this is my favourite bhujia ? Should I change it ? Is it funny ? But  even if I want to change – how is to be changed I don’t know .

4. I don’t have enough followers . Look at other bloggers . They have thousands of subscribers and followers on social media . And Look at Me , I haven’t even reached 500. Oh God help me !

5. I want to participate in the upcoming  blogging challenge . I missed the earlier one also . But it is summer vacation time and I need a relaxing break  in the hills. Ok Leave it , I will participate in the next challenge .

6. When will I start earning from my blog ? See that group of bloggers – all are invited for one or the other campaigns and get paid too . Am I too bad ?

7. People are not reading my blog, not even my hubby . Why  the hell am I blogging ?

8. Every blogger has a laptop and I am still working on my old desktop . When would I be able to save enough money for a new laptop ? How much do I need to save ?

9. Today is the last day to submit in that linky .  I sit to write at 7  pm  and daughter comes up with a problem in her homework . I again sit at 8 pm and within five minutes hubby starts feeling hungry and demands dinner . I sit at 9 pm after finishing almost everything else but at 10pm my body starts reclining in the bed .  Mind says “So ja yaar ”  I have to get up early morning at 5 am.

10. I think I am living in a wrong city . There are no opportunities for bloggers as the ones in Delhi or Banglore have .

11. Mom is cooking Chole Bhature today and they puffed up so well . Wait Wait let me click its pic first . May be I get to use in any of my blog posts .

12. I see out of balcony – I conceive a story . I talk to a friend – I conceive a blog post . Yesterday I saw a female dog feeding her four puppies together – I conceived many thoughts . But when is the time to write about all this ?

13. Look at that blogger – she writes so interesting and gripping fiction , her stories are published on so many other platforms .  I also need to work on it . Ok this weekend pakka .

14. What are my page views ? My DA , my PA ? I have to research about improving it . I also need to learn SEO tricks . When When When ?

15. I get only 4-5  likes and retweets  on my tweets . I am jealous of the ones who get 40-50 retweets and many comments too .

16. In that challenge , X was the winner . In the second challenge , Y got so many beautiful handmade gifts . I also completed all the conditions but I didn’t get any gift . I won’t participate now onwards .

There are many many more such thoughts which come to my mind as a blogger . But I work hard that such negative thoughts do not overpower me . I push myself , I challenge my limits , I participate if not all but in many blogging challenges , I think , I write , I read , I design , I manage my time as much as possible . Yes !  I am running a blogging marathon all the time and I am  committed .

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 ...
