Hope to delight you with my blog posts whose underlying theme is that Life is beautiful and we are here to make it more beautiful.

Life is Beautiful !!
CHALLENGE : To publish 111 beautiful blog posts in 30 days!!
UPDATE : 43/111 Completed- 30 Days!!!
OUTCOME : I aimed for 111 posts in 30 days but could write 43 posts in that time. I am very happy with the experience as this challenged encouraged me to write regularly. I am looking forward to keep writing.
Although, I failed to complete the challenge. I lost the challenge but also won as it made me who I am today. That challenge kept me awake till 2'o' clock in night when I used to wake up at 7 in the morning for office.
It is one of the best thing I did to kill procrastination. I've skipped meals as I was so much into writing that I didn't realized that it's already midnight. It has been a time when I was writing, writing and writing.
My roommates felt that I've gone crazy, some felt I'm trying for any competitive exam. Although, I was not preparing for any exam but the intensity was much like my IIT Preparation days. Ah...those golden days.
I was working for 12 hours due to some hectic schedule still I would cut down on Lunch time, phone calls and all that I could to get a little more time for writing.
The lessons I was learning was impeccable. I was wise to pick up early that I won't get readers from the blog and rather than worrying about audience. I started building my blog- brick by brick. It is that strong foundation that got laid then which enabled me to transform my future as a writer or blogger by leaps and bounds.
I've written around 400 posts in 6 months which gave me the confidence to scale up things. I am now into niche blogging despite by busy schedule. The lessons I learned as a blogger is a experience worth the effort. I didn't paid in money to learn blogging. I paid with my hard word, sheer determinate and the courage to keep going despite some personal setbacks.
In fact, blogging helped me get past those hurdles quickly and I was on a fast track. I've got the aggression in my efforts and tranquility in my writing.
I'm still a newbie writer who used blogger and Quora to be a writer, story teller, blogger, Ardent observer, Motivator, Poet, and career consultant.
All those were the things that I identified that I would do for free if money is not an issue. After procrastinating for long, I found my calling. I know how I'm going to scale up things. In my Life- Quora, My Day Job and Blogger all compliment each other.
I use Quora in a way that is different from the way most people would use. See how I used Quora as a Writing Platform
Rohan Sinha's answer to What is a good site to improve your writing?
Miles to go before I sleep.... this was the line from Robert Frost that kept me motivated throughout the journey. I feel more proud in being a blogger as I have struggled a lot, every single day and still struggle to manage so many things from office to personal interests to Friends and Family.
I am not in a position to give back to all those people who have unknowing supported me throughout this journey. So, I've decided to give back to the Quora Community. I am sharing what I do in the field of blogging after 8 months 18 days after I started that challenge. There are twist and turns on the way but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. ( Quote by Shiv Kheda)
