A lot of people around me ask me almost every time I bring up writing in conversation. And given that it takes a considerable amount of my time, apart from teaching, writing do comes up a lot. People ask me all the time,  How do you write? How can you write? How do you find the time? What motivates you to write? How do you stay even focused with children hammering doors and throwing toys around? Don't you think you can do something better? You are an engineer, why do you bother with writing reviews and bullshit like this? To fully answer all the questions is a tad bit difficult because it is no small feat. The topic is too important, vast and extremely close to my heart. I really do not want to cram information into a single post that makes no sense. Instead, I planned to make it a series of posts that we can all relate to, and the first question in the series I decided to discuss is "How do I write?" Writing is NOT easy To be honest there is no re...

Writing is a practice, nearly as old as the time itself. The man adopted writing to preserve the history, knowledge, and experiences of all the time.  The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.  Albert Camus Over the time writing has evolved. Printing and publishing emerged as a giant market. Blogging brought something more to the table, a chance to self-publish. Writers are sharing their ideas openly and blogs are the best place to start your journey. Today we are going to discuss the steps to write a blog post for beginners, what to do and what not to do. 1.        Pick your subject line When you intend to write a blog post or anything, the first thing to consider is “What do you want to write?”. Now the topic of a post is something you need to work on. It needs to be simple, yet powerful enough to grab the attention of your reader at a glance. The Internet is packed with information of all sorts, so your...

Blog writing is an absolute delight to many of my kith and kin out there. Have you ever heard of it? I am sure you have. Do you have any idea of the value of a blog? Do you know the pros and cons of it? Have you ever thought about blogging online? If you want to know more on the subject, you have come to the right place fellas. In this post, I will try my best to highlight what blogging really is and what are the benefits of it. Blogging is a big market out there. It is an advanced way to expand businesses, control information centers and create a hub for information sharing. A writer or even a common person can use it to further his hobbies. People share real-life experiences, professional opinions and a lot of people pay good money to pick a person’s brain for expertise. The blog is a source of passive income. No doubt people are earning a lot from blogging but you should know this beforehand that the income phase is too far in the line. Building a subs...

Have you ever thought you can write? I did and then I got out and when I did write, people said and I quote, "This is shit." The problem isn't that you can't write, the problem is the fact you can't get over the rejections. No great writer came and conquered the audience. Writing is a practice that is developed over time. It is a wine that gets better with age. And sometimes it is just plain and simply too much of an effort.  “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”   Maya Angelou Here I quote some of the great sayings of all times by the writers we all love and adore. Hope you get inspired.  There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.  Ernest Hemingway    If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.  Stephen King   One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.  Jack Kerouac   And by the way, e...
