The Journey So Far


In the first year of my Graduation, our teacher taught us how to create a blog using Blogger, and that was the very first time I actually loved the lab hours as I was creating and designing the blog and writing its content.

Although, it didn't take me much time to forget about it.

A year passed like this and August came again. But this time my blog was calling me.

I posted a story on Instagram asking people to send me good novels.

So, there was this person in my follower list who actually took it seriously, and he asked me that he can send me new novels if I promise to review them in return.

I didn't think much about it and replied positively.

Back then, I didn't know even a single thing about Book blogging/ Bookstagram.

Few days passed and this guy asked me to send him my email id and then he sent me a Gift Card and I had no clue how to use it I actually had to google about it for an hour or so.

Anyways, I received the book (my first review copy) and I literally finished it in a day, and then came a question by him, he asked me if I had a blog and I replied negatively.

Then I was supposed to make a blog of my own.

Now started the journey of my book blogging, officially.

I did as he said and soon a nice and decent-looking blog was designed all by myself.

It was not as fascinating as it looks now but for someone who just stepped into the world of books was enough.

On some days, I used to think why am I even doing all this? What is the use of reviewing books and not just read them? etc. but I soon realized that this is something I am passionate about and after more than 4 years of doing this constantly, this face has proven to be true.

Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...
