When did you know you wanted to become a writer?

Part-1:

 Well, it's not like I have discovered something for the first time in my life since there were more interesting kinds of stuff I had discovered in my life when I was small. One of them being that I was smart but societal pressure was enough to make me think that I was not. Happened to all of us at some point in life, I guess. Fortunately, I realized the fact that people have a tendency to judge others in spite of many fallacies within themselves. Anyway, I shall share my first experience with writing when I was in school. 

I started with essays as every other child would have done in school. When I was studying in class four, there was a happy moment with friends in my life which somehow propelled me into trying to scribble some kind of essay related to my classmates, one of them was my best friend at that time and the other was a girl and she was pretty. That little devil somehow managed to show my ingenuity in front of that hot-headed pretty girl. Now, you must be expecting an aw! Kind of adorable awe-struck moment here after she saw that and looked at me. But boy, she was all flared up and I was quite frightened on seeing her smoking ears and blood red eyes. It didn't take much time for her to burst into flames and I had been drenched thoroughly with her volcanic eruptions. "Wise men say, only fools rush in", yeah it's true. Anyway, that's how I started even though I was never sure of writing anything like that and never did I expected such embarrassments. A taste of what life may seem to be for many of us. I guess, everyone has their own.

This is how things started and later after a year I suddenly got interested in writing poems. So, I did write a few and lost them somewhere inside the house. I had invested some time to build my thoughts around those words but ironically I was never sad about losing them. Feels a little sad now, I wish I could read them sometime in future but I know it's not going to happen. Afterward, it was my ICSE and CBSE board examinations which were getting closer subsequently and I had got involved in some serious studies. So, everything stayed quiet still until then. Soon my Engineering Entrance Exam's result was out and I was packed off to Kolkata.

‘The Future of India’

I have read Swami Vivekananda’s idea of ‘The Future of India’. Here I have penned down my personal thoughts after reading a few other articles and opinions which are almost in line with Swamiji’s thoughts with slight modifications. At some places in this article I did not complete Swamiji’s ideas because I have consciously thought that the same idea could be expanded without making any changes to the essence of the idea as it could possibly which could pass a more inclusive message to the society where we all live. I think that the need of the hour is to follow Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s ideas for India. I have envisioned my idea of the future of India here in line with Swami Vivekananda’a ideas of ‘The Future of India’. I am always open to a new idea but it should be an organized and structured thought. This could be in the form a constructive criticism or a discussion as well. Kindly read below and try to understand the thought process behind each ...

When did you know you wanted to become a writer?

Part :2 A fter coming to Kolkata I didn't quite focus on my writing. To be honest I lost that vibe completely. It was only after my first year of engineering that I wrote a blog. That was a personal blog where I had shared my feelings concerning some deplorable events that happened in my life earlier. Later, I modified it into a tech blog because after some time I became interested in technological kinds of stuff. Fortunately, I had a friend in my PG and he was quite a techie. So, in a way, I was also drawn towards technology. Another year had passed. There was some break at that point from blogging. I felt too lazy to think about something interesting or different from myself. Soon I was in my final year of engineering and I got interested in blogging once again and this time with technological topics because I used to follow some tech videos on YouTube and that helped me a lot with the contents. I thought of a plan about starting a technological blog and turning it into...

Facebook is rolling out a new feature that'll show you strangers' posts

T he new feature is called "Latest Conversations" and was spotted by Tech Crunch. It's one of Facebook's attempts to dead set on breaking our news biases and expand our horizons by this feature which will show you posts from strangers. So, after searching a news topic, Facebook will now display a public user generated posts which are outside your user network and there you will be able to see the number of people engaging with the topic. The "Latest Conversations" shows up beneath the news and photos section when you search something on Facebook. It is capable of arousing a certain amount of curiosity by giving a nice touch to see the number of people in the conversation, which means the rise and fall. It's like seeing a trend rise and fall if you sit long enough to watch before your eyes. However, not all the posts will make sense to you. As of now, there is no filter system added to the feature. So, we might end seeing up posts written in other l...
