Earlier today, I was on a call catching up with a friend when, in a moment of distraction, I found myself aimlessly browsing the internet. That’s when a wave of nostalgia hit me, taking me back to my blogging days. I wasn’t exactly an ardent blogger, but I’d occasionally pen down a few thoughts—nothing extraordinary—simply as a way to practice writing and keep myself engaged. This was during my undergraduate days, nearly two decades ago. Yalama! Time truly flies!
Back then, I had also cultivated a deep love for reading. I’d eagerly pick up anything that caught my eye and dive in. I can vividly recall how I’d look forward to each new day, excited to read the latest news or updates. I even maintained a list of books I’d read, though sadly, that list is now long gone. If my spoken English today is halfway decent, I owe it largely to those reading habits.
Unfortunately, life caught up with me when I started working. My focus shifted primarily to textbooks—mostly in mathematics—and I barely found time to read anything else. Along with reading, my blogging gradually took a backseat, and writing became a rare thing.
When I revisited my old Blogspot page today, I realized it had been four long years since my last post! Four years—wow. In an attempt to revive my old habits, I hurriedly wrote a quick update to get myself back into the groove. What better way to bid farewell to 2024 and welcome the new year, 2025?
Here’s to rekindling old passions! I hope to share more posts in the coming year.
Trashi Sho!
