My Experiences as a Content Writer so far!!!!

Its been almost like 1 month doing professional content writing and my experiences doing it is awesome, not because I love writing, its because its amazing to discover this kind of writing. 
When I discovered that I have a gift of storytelling and the thought surfaced that I can make writing as a career, the very idea threatened me. Forget my parents, convincing myself to be a writer was a big task. It took me a lot of time to make that decision. It was even more difficult working towards it but it was worth fighting for.  
Yes, It was thought to be a risky career when I decided to be one but it is not anymore. 
This new field of professional content writing stores a lot of money in its pocket. You wont believe but the entire E-Commerce system strives on content writing. 
In this blog I am going to tell you, how content writing has helped me and how it can help you.

Writing is no more a risky career to pick
If you are creative, your English is grammatically correct and you have a hand in writing good articles which are crispy and short then yes, you may look forward to become a English writer.
Every writer has a dream to publishing poetry, novel or any of his or her short stories but that might take a little time, till then you have a option of earning through content writing.

Not requires much creativity
SEO articles and content material are plain and simple. They are not personalized and do not use any flowery language. Yes, they are basically promotional (well!! that's what their job is). 
Some works require creativity but most of the work is ought to be direct and clear. 

What I learnt doing Content Writing
This very blog that you are reading right now is based on a SEO blog format. So what I have learnt from this form of writing is how to put forward what I want to say in a crisp, direct and easy to understand way.
Yes, my initial days were a little difficult, and I am still learning, but it is altogether a very interesting experience. 
The scope of creativity is less but yes, it definitely helped me to make my writing more engaging and straight. 


At the end, I just have one message for all the budding writers. "Dont give up!!! keep on writing"
if you think that you have a talent of writing, then try your hand on it. It is worth fighting for what you want to really do.

This Diwali feel the abundance.

Do you remember the childhood days??? when everything was possible and every single thing was achievable. You were your "Star" and your Parents were your role models.
Well, as far as I remember my childhood, every single thing was magical. My innocence and ignorance made life so much better and easy. I have observed this really beautiful and wonderful thing with kids, "They get what they wish" and that is really true. It happened with me when I was a child, certainly happened with my sister when she was young and I am very sure that it happened with everybody when they were in their earliest years of their life.
 This was my first observation about childhood,"you get what you wish for" my second very observation was "Children always feel Full, that is why, all their wishes are fulfilled" . Children treat themselves as king or queens or prince or princesses ( since they are so much inspired by the fairy tales). They feel abundant with whatever more or less they have in their lives. 
Their everyday is a Diwali, Christmas or a Holi, they  live a extremely colorful life, a Vibrant life. So this Diwali, being extremely inspired by my Guru HIS HOLINESS Sri Sri Ravi shankar, he has asked everyone to feel the abundance, to feel that they have got everything in their life, so basically he has asked us to feel fulfilled already because from abundance grows abundance. 
So this Diwali feel abundant and fulfilled, know that you are being taken care of and you will get what is best for you. I have been applying this thing from past 5 years of my life and it really works.

A Very Happy Diwali to all!!!!

An interview with a teenager part2

Do you think that practices like Yoga and meditation are restricted to only certain set of Religion? There were a set of people who opposed the Yoga day celebrations on 21st june. Do you think that these practices can lead to religious conflict or other religions can draw benefit out of it.

Those people who think that yoga and Meditation can lead to conflict are in sheer ignorance. According to me, these things are basis of my existence. You can put question on your very own existence.
This thing that Yoga and meditation are confined only to one religion, I think this trend is changing, people from all around the globe are accepting it more and more.It may not be a dispute in the west but there are definitely disputes in the east, especially in the middle east.
 I think Ignorance is like a cloud, it's nature is to come and then go, I think great spiritual leaders like Sri Sri ravi shankar and HIS HOLINESS Dalai Lama are definitely going to make a shift in this kind of thinking.
Ignorance is something that goes by grace, lets see when the grace is going to happen on these people.

Particular set of people think that spiritual Leaders should not enter politics because it could lead to conflict and separation in the society, they claim that they can really twist the mind of their followers and make them a popular vote bank for a particular political party. What are your views on it? Do you think that spiritual Leaders should enter politics?

The problem is that Indians know the history of the entire world but they do not know their own history, Do you remember the mauryan era, when Chanakya was not only a spiritual Leader but also one of the ministers to Chandra Gupt maurya. The Mauryan era was considered to be the golden era of India. if you remember when Ashoka was ruling, Chanakya was no more, if chanakya would have been alive, he would have never turned out be a violent King before turning to Buddhism.
What is wrong if they are entering politics? What if I say that Brahmins are confined only to do the pooja path, again you are creating some form of Cast-ism.
May be these Spiritual leaders can be the next Chanakya.

Do you think that popular Media is responsible for painting Religion with a Bad color?
Yes I really think so because they are very ignorant regarding the spiritual practices, If they would have experienced Yoga and meditation, they would not have painted spirituality or religion with a bad Brush.

Since you are student of Delhi university, do you think that it is a Marxist university and as a student there is a burden on you to read that Ideology and represent your views in that ideology that failed like two decades ago?
It is completely unfair on the teachers part to cut a article on Nationalism just because they follow certain Ideology. we have to write answers according to their Ideology which ceases our originality somewhere.
I am believer of god and I believe in my scriptures but a person who have not read them yet, these teachers interpret them in such a way that a student will completely loose the faith.
It looks quite Hypocrite on peoples part they don't put up a question on Niqab and Hijab but they are very judgemental about Hinduism.
There is a lack of pride in today's young generation.

An Interview with a Teenager Part1

Meditation and Yoga is a very crucial part of my life and its been long that I have not talked about it on my blog.
I was introduced to it when I was a young girl of 17, since then I have made it a point to meditate every single day.
My younger sister was introduced to it at a much younger age and practices it as well, hence I thought that it would be a great idea to see yoga and meditation from the eyes of a young Indian teenager. Our talks extend to politics, culture, religion,spirituality. I think  interviewing her and knowing her point of view really amazed me and opened my mind to new possibilities, here it goes.

I remember, you were introduced to spirituality at a very young age, when you were like 12 years old. what thing popped into your mind when you heard the word meditation?

The first thing that popped in my head was "It is going to be boring" , it is not something for children. it is something for the adults. It is something for old people, not for the young ones.
It is for people who go to the temple daily, like my grandmother.

What actually happened to you when you did your meditation for the first time?

Actually, nothing happened to me when I first did the meditation. Nothing much happened during the process but I realized that after doing the meditation, my state of mind was pretty much changed, it became very calm.The process was very boring but after the process I realized that there was a lot of change in me, in my attitude.There was a change in me for a while.

ok, how long was that while?

about 12 to 13 hours.After that you need to get yourself recharged again. That is why Meditation is very much essential to be performed daily and very much important to be done in today's competitive and challenging word.
weather it is a young child or a teenager or a adult, it is very much important to perform meditation because it is the only refuge one can take.

What problems do you face as a Indian teenager and student, and how did meditation helped you to overcome such problems that you face in your daily life.

Well being a "Indian teenage girl", it is quite difficult. Girls are never told about what is going to happen to them when they are going to turn 11 or 12 or 13.
Puberty was a difficult situation for me and not much initiative was taken by my mother or my teachers to help me through it. My aunt and my elder sister helped me to a bit but the way society views you, changes in a swish. That was a stressful condition for me. Meditation helped me a lot.
I was a very introvert girl during my teenage,It helped me to be more confident. I started talking to people, I gathered some courage and more than anything else it gave me peace which is the biggest need of a teenager.
According to me these Meditation classes should  be given to the teenagers.Teenage is such a confused and vulnerable stage, rare do parents and teachers take the initiative to make them understand things.Meditation helped me, I think it is going to help others as well.

Do you think there is a change in state of mind after Mediation? like, from annoyed to excited and interested , from sad to happy and Hopeful?

for me, it has always turned out to be peaceful. excitement can also be bad sometimes. when you are peaceful you can carry out things perfectly.Meditation gives you energy in perfect balance.

Rest of the interview will be carried out in my next blog.

A Albert Einstein letter to his daughter

I think this one is worth reading. Although I am a young girl still figuring out my way and still battling with my struggles.
 I have always believed that love has the power to transcend every problem ,every conflict and every pain
I highly recommend the movie "intersteller" to actually feel that, I bet you the movie will move you to tears, well for now you can read this letter by the well known scientist of his times, Albert Einstein's letter to his daughter.This man was way beyond ahead of his times, more than I ever thought.

take a Read


A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter:
In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl Einstein.
"When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness.
Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…
If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.
However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.
I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer!"
Your father,
Albert Einstein

My pain will be my glory

My struggles will my write my stories
My pain will be my glory
for all those thinking that life is unfair
for all those thinking their hard-work is vain
their blood and sweat will be their allegory
my struggles will write my stories

So shoot oo shoot with your killing words
I dont pay attention to those who flock like herds
and make me break when I am exhausted and tired
but you will not be able to break my spirit burning like fire
you can not haunt me in my memory
my struggles will write my stories
my pain will be my glory

So don't think that I may give up when I fear
and don't see the weakness in my cries and tears
because they are the one who push me ahead
because they are the one who don't make me mislead
don't you think that success is your territory
because my struggles are coming to write my stories
my pain will be my glory.

How many choices women have?

Entering Puberty is a difficult phase of anybody's life,especially a girl's life. It is painful physically, outrageous emotionally and exhausting mentally but what adds icing to the cake is the reaction of society toward a girl's changing body. It is definitely not easy when the entire family or the society expects a 11 or 12 year old girl to suddenly grow up and learn to live in her maryadaas (limits) as soon as possible.

So difficult for a girl to handle such horrible reactions when she is trying to figure out herself and it is not the problem that is faced by the small town or village girls but many girls in my country face such problems in a way or another. 

Choices are not meant for us, what is meant for us are the decisions taken by our society, our relatives, our family, our parents and they are too good at disguising them as choices. What is even more interesting is that, nowadays the Advertising sector is also very keen on celebrating the modern Indian women( remember vogue empowerment video featuring deepika padukone), although these choices are basically their disguised opinions manipulating young girls in certain way to be more free, independent and rebellious, which to an extend is good but for what? may be to join their advertising agencies and taking a pride in showing off their vital assets which are then compared to their prestigious products, be it  a motorcycle or a car or a engine, the Advertising agencies have redefines the value of women's body parts.

Sometimes I feel that a women's breast, her thighs, her belly and her ass is given so much of attention that people fail to recognize her spirit. Parents are so busy preaching her to be shy, submissive, simple and scarifying that they forget to teach her to be courageous and confident.
Very often I think that why do young girls grow up listening to the story of Cinderella and snow white but not the stories of Rani laxmi bai and joan of ark. A mother always keeps a eye on her grown up girl regarding what she wears, how she speaks to her elders, what she wears then why not the same mother consider it her responsibility to talk to her regarding sex and periods.

So busy is the Modern Indian women to become the perfect example of what the society idolizes that somewhere she loses herself, after a certain point of time she really forget who she is and who would put so much of time to find oneself back which may not fit what the society expects her to be.

As a girl I was often criticized for being rebellious, for wearing short clothes,especially by my relatives, eventually they were successful putting me into Indian wears, I still feel awkward and shy wearing short clothes( guess, they were successful in giving me a wound). I was also criticized for being outspoken and many more thing. To your surprise I was also criticized by my fellow classmates for discussing periods (Menstrual cycle). I was criticized for making a choice of being a writer and I am still often criticized because I choose to make choices not sacrifices.

Women like kalpana chawla, kiran Bedi, Indra Nooyi also made some choices, some really tough choices and who better can fit the example of Modern Indian women than them.
