A Challenge I always wanted to undertake #AtoZChallenge

A to Z Challenge is one challenge I always wanted to do. One has to write 26 blogs in April, each one beginning with a letter of the English Alphabet. I was thinking what is that one thing that starts with A or is themed around it, which is significant enough to write on it. Then I realized oh. I got to write about the A to Z Challenge. 

A to Z is like 7 years old challenge. Yups, right. It is old. For bloggers, it is like a ritual they must perform once in their blogging life. I have been putting it off for 4-5 years I guess.Many bloggers complain about the lack of time or energy. Hence unable to do this. Others feel that it restricts their imagination as they are bound by a set of rules. 

Here is my take on this - 

  • If you are a blogger and love blogging, you got to do this.
  • You will connect with the global brethren of fellow bloggers who are also undertaking the same challenge.
  • Trust me, its always fun to write as a group rather than doing it all alone.
  • You are not writing on Sundays. Which is rest enough from all that writing.
About procrastination 

  • That is true. Laziness creeps unto us more than we want it to. 
  • Create a writing plan. Set reminders on phone. As you friends and fellow bloggers to bug you to write.
  • You are imaginative and you can do this easy peasy. Remind this to yourself quite often.
  • Read a lot about what others are posting for this challenge. It will give you the inspiration to write.

This is going to be a fun activity. I am ready for this challenge (so I think), are you?

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Inside Congress by Ronald Kessler: power, perks, and peril on Capitol Hill

This critical review of Inside Congress by Ronald Kessler reveals the shocking truth behind Capitol Hill's glitzy surface. Featuring real quotes, scandals, and systemic corruption, this article dissects the book’s revelations with historical, social, and political context. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about America’s lawmakers. What is ‘Inside Congress’ about? Reading Inside Congress felt like sneaking into a backstage political theatre—only to realise that the actors were drunk, corrupt, and having affairs with the ushers. Ronald Kessler doesn’t just pull the curtain back on Congress—he rips it off, throws it on the floor, and sets it on fire. At its core, the book is a catalogue of misconduct, but it’s more than that. It’s a raw, unnerving look at a system so infected by self-interest and sleaze that the word “democracy” starts to feel like a punchline. The book spans sexual escapades, financial corruption, and outright betrayal of public trust. But th...
