WHY I STARTED BLOGGING
WHY I STARTED BLOGGING.. AGAIN
Well, after 7 years I'm starting to blog again. And it feels GOOD! The intentions were to write out the experiences about my work and social life [but not personal stuff] and be more aligned to what's going on around my work and social sphere. I hope you'll like my blogs, and will have something to say about it!

OK, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY YOU’RE HERE
FLASHBACK - 90's
In school days, the biggest high for me was to write the stories among the varied options for the essay writing in the English Language paper [if you're from ICSE, you'll know the feeling]. I used to love to write those stories with imagination, creativity, and flair but also with clarity and brevity of thoughts.
As they say "Technology Kills Creativity", that what exactly happened to me during the college days. The good old days of ORKUT and the only thing I am proud of was writing those lofty TESTIMONIALS and sending cryptic SCRAPS.
Once I came to Bangalore around 2007, initial days of struggle in a new city, pushed me to write again. And, I wrote really some rubbish blogs during those 2 years [Well, I dare! you may check by yourself].
Then came the FACEBOOK and I spoiled my best part of 20s trying to be a wannabe. Then came TWITTER ― and all I wanted was a life full of hashtag events. But by then I soon realize that the "Twitterverse" [as tweeple like to call it] is meant for two kind of people - The Known-Face-Celebrity or The Faceless-Troller - and neither of them was me.
SKIP TO PRESENT DAY
I came back to what I love to do, WRITING! When you do something out of passion, there’s no pressure and no fear of failure. When you decide to take that to the next level, you became absorbed, oblivious to the passage of time ― it becomes real and scary and amazing all at the same time.
Having worked in the Supply Chain industry for over a decade now, I have followed and read many bloggers for varied topics and ideas, but honestly didn't KNOW what blogging is really entailed.I wanted to share my knowledge and my life experiences through my blogs with a small hope that it may make someone's life easy. Happy Reading!
WHAT ABOUT THE FANCY NAME
Well, we Bongs are known for our ADDA!
Oxford defines the word as "a place where people gather for conversation" but it doesn't define the essence of it. An Adda is not gossiping and venting ― the conversations will have some REASONS to it, invariably involve DEBATES and you'll hear some of the fascinating STORIES during the course of it. So please feel free to chime in!
Also, if you're a movie connoisseur by now you must have guessed the name also borrows from the 1977 cult Bengali movie "Jukti Takko Aar Gappo" directed by the mercurial genius, and my personal favourite, Ritwik Ghatak.
Lovely read...all the best for your new beginnings with blogs...:)
