Do I need AI to write for me ?
Every time I try to write something on LinkedIn, it tells me “Rewrite with AI” but one needs a premium account to do that. I don’t have one now. I used to have it before. Then I wonder why would I want AI to rewrite for me if my enjoyment is in writing. I am…

To Write or Not to Write
We have one more quarter in the year. If we need to do something for next year we should start now. No magic happens on Dec 31st. I wanted to restart writing this newsletter next year and the best way would be to start now. I don’t have a structure in mind. But.. A lack…

365/365 And the project comes to an end
I have mentioned before that I have done a similar 365 days project with my daughter when she was in high school. Now she has graduated from college and entering the professional world. My son has started this project though not on a daily basis. I have seen the project help my daughter and I…

364/365 When you have only one day to go
I started this project on June 24th last year and if I had written daily I would have finished on June 24th 2022. But today is July 31. I missed several days in between and on a stretch even a week as the project was coming to an end. Today when there is only one…

358/365 When my son wrote about success and Racism

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.…

300/365 This is a good mark to think forward
So this is day 300 of the project. 65 more to go. I was thinkin what I gained doing this. And I could not single out one reason. Maybe what I gained is dormant. Obviously using your writing muscles might have added some value to me. I did not set out to gain followers or…

291/365 Why Write Daily like a To Do List
The goal is to write daily. Non necessarily write daily in the same place. I say that because some days I would post on Social Media or on my my other blog and then will realize, Oops I did not do my journal. And then I scramble. When I have already done my daily writing.…

271/365 Finding my voice
It has more or less become a cliche but I think every writer wants to find their voice. I don’t mean to say others don’t have to. Just that when I am blogging here, I am more worried about my voice. Maybe worrying is the last thing one should do when searching for their voice.…

270/365 There are two ways I can continue
I was taking a look at this writing exercise and I saw two different kinds of writing. One is just random musings that are more diary-like and other was more on a career, work life format. A Self Improvement style writing. And now my question is what do I follow. When I started this writing project,…
