Hi, Amitav! I’ve been blogging for almost two years and now and have been following a number of blogs in hopes of continuously being inspired to write, but every blog I’ve come across so far bears the same rushed flow, highly stylized language, and jargon akin to the Age of Technology. It made me averse to blogging at first and admittedly, I was considering changing the things I wrote about and my writing style to conform. Stumbling upon your blog is like a breath of fresh air. I just wish I got to breathe it in sooner. Love your works and I can’t wait to read more from you!

Frist, I would like to thank you for joining my blog! I welcome you! I am glad you did not think of quitting after your detour through the blogging world. You stayed on for good, and I am sure you will interact with fantastic bloggers too. Every writer has their own style and by conforming, you give up your style too; in that case, the storytelling chnages. Write in your style and write unapologetically (that’s my mantra).
Thank you again, for the kind words and looking forward to readin your work. Feel free to browse through my work.
Best wishes to you!
