Here again...to WRITE.

I had successfully convinced myself that writing wasn't for me and that writing or maintaining a blog is futile, but despite all the self pity and constant comparisons with all the brilliant writers all across the world, here I am, back at this blog. I had difficulty in finding this ancient blog of mine. I am back here mainly because I am confident that nobody is going to read this blog, except may be my very dear and supportive friend (and the only one who takes the pain to read my writings) Anisha is sent a notification saying, " Hey, look who decided to turn up to blog once again after decades!!??" Jokes apart, I decided to maintain my blog and not a secret journal mainly because, I want to take up writing a little more seriously and I want to be accountable for the writing. Its also to get better at writing.
Now, I am not particularly sure about the content that I would be writing about but at this point, all I want to do is keep at it. I might write about the food I ordered on Swiggy/Uber eats or how we should refrain from ordering food and rather cook ourselves; or I might write about a film that I watched, not a movie review ( apparently that is the trend these days) but what that movie made me feel . Nothing new about it but nonetheless , it will be worth the while for me , I think. As this blog evolves, I am hoping to write about more things.

Now, one main purpose for me to get back to writing, is that I intend to pursue professional Content Writing. I have had no experience in writing serious articles for the longest time, so it is important for me to brush up my writing skills and practice as much as possible before I set out to apply for content writing work . I am also planning to do some online certificate courses that will further help my writing ability.

I have also begun to learn the language, GERMAN on my own. I have come to realize that it is going to be an absolute herculean task for me to even begin to understand this language. It's so tough to remember the rules, the grammar and the pronunciations but I am also liking this process of investing myself in this attempt to learn this beautiful language. I cannot fathom the fact that there are several native Indians , who are able to speak German so fluently. Anyway , in time ought to see how much can I learn. Based on my initial experience,  I will have to decide if I should join a proper course at the Goethe Institute here. It is after all a very expensive course to invest it, but once and if at all one is able to reach the B2 level, one can start teaching. And that's a lucrative opportunity .

So yeah , a fairly useless post this one has been .  May be from next post, I will be able to write something of substance. However, on a personal front, this is phenomenal achievement for , so to speak, as I could never imagine writing again . I am glad I got back to it, fingers crossed though until the next post.

Ciao.
