50K Pageviews: How it all started

There are so many emotions engulfed inside you and there is so little you can do about it. Every time you look at something or see someone, certain set of thoughts come into your mind. They can (thoughts) can be short lived or long lived. You never really share them or at times you don't really have anyone to share with. Often they die out or get buried deep inside your mind.

However, for some like us, from whom emotions and thoughts have very high regards in our life, and we cherish them by our writing. For me, it was very important to make my thoughts and opinions reached to someone. And hence started my The World Through My View, later renamed as Pseudofiction.

Tortured by the Indian education system, burned by the intense medical studies, my life in my double room apartment in Janakpuri was distorted. Never really cared to learn things, all I did was just sit back and imagine things. And then came up the idea, let me preserve whatever I have in my mind. Broadband revolution just reached me, Blogger just impressed me and on 21^st December 2012, I posted my first experience of the city, Locked at Uttam Nagar: My First Experience in Delhi.

It was very ironic that the city I love so much today did not give me that good an experience in the eary days. I used to miss home and it was a little difficult for me to adjust here, for reasons well explained in my very first post. The response was good, as I slowing started to gain readership I decided to market my blog. With no intentions of becoming a college celebrity or a social network sensation (done by many these days), I started my Blogging game.

Pesudofiction landed up me with Barefoot, with whom I am working currently. It gave me an opportunity to meet International football star Drogba, a dinner with Minisha Lamba and also helped me get into Tehelka.

Today, its a important day for me, two years back I started this blog and on the very exact day, I crossed 50000 views. The love and response is awesome. 50K pageviews for a personal blog is a little too much to ask, but fortunately, I did achieve this.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Wish I could 'FLIRT'

I was in class VII, when I first came across the word ‘flirting’. (This apparently proves my weakness in vocabulary). Anyways, it was my friend Jyotirmoy who was talking about him flirting with a girl. As usual, an innocent me, asked, “ এই flirting মানে কি? ” Which apparently meant, ‘What does flirting mean? What an apt description he gave, he said, it is an act of conveying someone that you love him/her verbally, though you hold no feelings for him/her by heart. Mind it, class VII we were, and we were already discussing how to fake love. That was good old 7 years back, in a phase of time, where at least love was not merely a matter of one night stand. Over the time, Jyotirmoy did excel in the art of flirting on screen, no wonder, he is yet to score a girl, but he has surely excelled. This is an art, an art probably all of the cool dude modern guys surely have good hands on. But what I am more concerned about is actually described in the last part of the last line of th

A Note To My Abandoned Blog!

I have been writing for over a decade now. In 2012, I started a blog and went on to garner a lakh page views by 2015. Social media wasn’t as big then as to what it is now, the internet wasn’t a necessity, but rather an accessory and attention span surely was more than what we have today. So I believe I can get a little pat on my back for what I achieved. Come 2016, my blog reached the 200k mark, and then like the abandoned Paper Factory in Jagiroad, Assam, I abandoned my blog. I did write a couple of pieces up until 2021, but that was probably the flickering flame of a dying lamp. So, did I stop writing after 2016? Hell no, in fact, I have been writing an unimaginable volume of work. From academic papers, news stories, features for magazines, websites, academic papers, dissertations, press releases, scripts, concept notes and my favourite pass time, emails, I have been churning out words after words . But what I absolutely stopped doing is, writing for myself. Personal writing a

Life on the Wheels: Mr Ram Kumar

The title might suggest that the post is about some adventurous traveler, who roams the world in a four wheeler exploring thousands of kilometers. Indeed, he travels thousands of kilometers, probably 36000 km a month, yet he is not adventurous traveler, and probably we would never imagine our lives to be like his. Life on the Wheels Meet Mr. Ram Kumar , the coach attendant of the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express . Mr. Kumar, with just 4 holidays a month, travels all the way from New Delhi to Dibrugarh via Guwahati serving passengers and back. Again the same day he leaves for Jammu with another fleet of passengers and the cycle goes on. Four holidays is just like nothing, a resident of Bihar, it takes him 2 days to reach home from Delhi and unlike the so called posh Rajdhani where he serves; he boards a general sleeper class compartment to get back. Yet, he wears a badge saying ‘Serving with a smile’ and severs to every new face which he meets in his journey without any compla
