    320/365 Conversation Vlogging

    I love conversations, but my problem is I love talking more than listening and that in my opinion is a major handicap in learning and understanding others and their viewpoints and the world in general. Even my podcast is a solo rant. I have had interesting conversations with people well known and less known. I…

    320/365 Vlogging your Career Insights

    Career Insights Videos in my opinion will be relevant for a long time and it is also a way I can document my thoughts in the  29 years I spent working and being on my own. The mistakes I made. What I would do differently. The learnings. We would wonder why someone would be interested in…

    319/365 Book Reviews Vlogging

    Book Reviews Vlogs, which I call Book Introduction, are one of my most favorite videos. I have a personal benefit when I do Book reviews. One is that I get to connect with some of the Authors. Another reason is that doing a vlog of the book will help me solidify what I understand from…

    318/365 Movie Reviews Vlogging

    I love movies. I have done movie reviews of new movies. I have also vlogged about old movies that are not necessarily the trending topics.

    317/365 Educational and Micro Courses Vlogging

    Videos are a great source for Education. Sometimes you even feel there is more teaching than there is learning. But How To videos and instructional videos have helped me do a lot of stuff like plumbing, fixing doors and many more. It is valuable. My only problem is I don’t have any such instructional skills…

    316/365 Social Commentary Vlogging

    I like doing social commentary and I have found even people like it… or I should say the views are higher for such content. But over time I became a bit disillusioned thinking if it was really adding any value or just bordering on making fun and becoming just a stand up comic content. Not that…

    315/365 What should I do with Vlogging?

    Once I started doing videos things started changing, though I used it initially do videos of poems, it moved on to social commentary and that is where it became viral and I got the small audience that I have now. I have tried several kinds of videos to see what I would Like. Conversations, cooking…

  • 314/365 What do I want to blog about?

    I started blogging because I thought I was bad with words. Being a very poor reader as a kid and being among people who read, I felt writing is something beyond what I could do. I also only learned my mother tongue ‘Malayalam’ for just 4 years. And I always felt I sucked at it.…

    313/365 Tracing back at my Social Media usage

    I started using social media with Orkut, like many people. It was so much fun as I started connecting with my friends from college and family. It was like a get together that you could join anytime you want. I had that same feeling years later when Clubhouse came up. There was something called Paltalk…

    312/365 Living different Lives 

    Sometimes I feel I live many different lives across different media. Like I am a different person everywhere. My temper and tone and the basic fabric seems to be changing. We can call it persona but each persona kind of grows in its own way based on how I live that life. In real life…
