Those of you who’ve been visiting this blog for the past week might’ve noticed a sharp increase in my posting frequency – to be more precise, I’ve been blogging, daily for the past four days, straight!

Not because I’m jobless, actually I’m everything but jobless! I’ve got lab exams right now – yet, I took some time out of my busy schedule and blogged. Not because I’m neglecting studies or anything – I’ve made a landmark decision about my life.

For a while now, I was going through a Quarter Life crisis – which is at its peak, right now. For everything I did, for everywhere I turned, some problem or other would pounce upon me, like a vicious and hungry tigress attacking its prey. I’ve become masochistic about life’s problems – I’ve almost begun to enjoy, while basking in this multitude of issues posed by life. By now, I’ve been embroiled in (almost) all sorts of problems a teenager could get himself into- oops forgot, I ceased to exist as a teen as I turned 20 a year back!

And amid all this, I made an amazing self-discovery, I found my true love, my calling!

You guessed that right, I’ve chosen the red pill again – My sojourn from dreams to reality has got a whole new meaning now, that I’m a PRO-blogger!

Those of you who know me personally and bother to read my tags might’ve already got the hint not-so-long-ago. But for others, I’m just making it official. And don’t get ideas about the ‘PRO’ prefix – no, I’m not professional yet, I haven’t made HUGE amounts of money like Amit Aggarwal, I haven’t even made a single authoritative post, like Arun. Yet, I have my moments of fame. I did take a session on blogging at FOSSMeet, NIT Calicut, on invitation! I’m unofficially the CTO of a budding Quiz Blog, and I’ve even hosted a quiz to boot!

And as a first step towards my goal, I’m goanna start blogging, daily.

A huge thank you, to all my readers/commenters who’ve been with me through thick and thin, commenting even in the worst of posts and lifting my feeble morale. A hug and a kiss to all of you!!

If you find visiting everyday a tad hard,you may  get updates hot-delivered to your mailbox!
