The process of shifting to a new address involves lot many plannings , packing-unpacking , some complications or even some of the stuff getting damaged on the go. Yes friends , I am planning to shift my blog to a new address . Well I am blogging for the last 2.5 years and many times the name of my blog has puzzled me . It has made me think many times why did I actually name it so -Alubhujia.com . When I asked my friends or fellow bloggers some of them said that it’s a catchy name which appears good to hear while some other said that the name appears funny . It kept going fine for 2 years but for the last few months , the name of my blog has been pinching me hard and I just wish to change it . Although I know there would be many complexities involved -shifting all data , may be losing some too , losing my SEO scores ,or many other things . What if loose my data ? What if I am not able to take a proper backup ? What if new domain doesn’t go well ? What if my followers are not ...

Starting September 1 , I am taking part in the BIG blogging campaign #MyfriendAlexa and I have been writing my posts under the theme #LetusKISS . KISS is an acronym for Keep it Simple and Significant and I express  my  gratefulness to God who made  me choose this as my theme  I have shared my mind and heart on keeping our Life as simple + significant , and stop unnecessarily making  it Complex . Let us focus more on the aspects which make Life significant , memorable and  appreciable . My Gratitude for Pains and Pleasures  Let us divert our focus from mere collection of  Things to collection of Moments . Let’s live our Life with Mindfulness rather than our minds always full of worries . Let us follow the path which leads to calmness , happiness , cheerfulness. To achieve a special kind of Fullness in life ,  Gratefulness also plays a major part . Gratefulness is magnification of the positive happenings in our life . If we can inculcate  a habbit of being grateful in all the time...

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...

Last week I got a mail that excited me . The mail was from one of the fellow bloggers and it said that my blog www.alubhujia.com had been nominated for Liebster Award 2018 . I didn’t know what Liebster Award meant . So I searched and came to know that it is an award that exists only on the  Internet and is given to bloggers by other fellow bloggers . Liebster in German means “sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome”. Although I haven’t yet turned out as a professional blogger but I am happy that one of my blogger friends liked my blog so much to be nominated for a lovely Liebster Award.   I feel grateful that Blogger Vartika from vartikasdiary nominated me .  About Vartika , she is a mother of twin girls . An HR professional , lover of music , crafts , books , she is a big foodie too . She is an extrovert but simple person who says “I can’t take fakeness and duality at all . The people who a...

You know one year ago , I knew only of facebook and little of Instagram . Then I started blogging and my interaction with twitter started . Twitter is a great social media platform .  The other platform Pinterest was something I had heard of , but never used really . Actually I did try it I think in my vacation in June 2017 but that time it appeared complex  to me . I could see hell lot of images images and images , although very provoking and tempting . But  how were  just these images useful to me ?   And I didn’t even know how people created those colorful catchy images . After trying my hands on it for few days , I uninstalled the Pinterest app from my phone .  The  year  2018  brought # superbloggerchallenge2018 , a ten week long blogging challenge .  It is still going on and I am participating. This challenge is helping me learn new techniques and  develop new skills . The hosts introduced all the participants to Pinterest and told how useful it is . I have started using it...
