Introducing, Occasional Junk

More of a re-introduction, really!

Let’s call this the logo.

I started my first blog back in Dec 2013 and completely fell in love with the idea of expressing myself through words. Most (read: all) of my posts from that blog are things you can normally expect from a teen that thinks he can write: some poems, short stories and the kind. However, something happened and I took a hiatus from personal blogging and started a fashion & lifestyle blog in Oct 2015.

The thing is: I pretty much have hated habits all my life.

So… I stopped writing altogether, (just to experience how that would feel) tried a bunch of things just to fill whatever was missing and hated all of them. A lot of things have happened since then, both good and bad but I feel like I actually did an okay job dealing with all that. I’m happy with my current life and I have a good feeling about the future.

This all brings us to the present. I think, I’m ready to start writing again.

So… I’m going to start writing again; about feelings I haven’t experienced yet or places I’ll be traveling to or projects I’ll be working on or shit I’ll fail at. I’m going to write again and I’m going to share it all here. I won’t be posting every week (it’s not the Weekly Junk) but I’ll post new content whenever I can hoping that some of you like what I post, some of you hate it and some of you learn from it and share it. In the meantime, you can enjoy some of the posts I have imported from the previous blog(s.) I have added edits at the end of every imported post that needed present views. These edits may also contain rants about my previous writings, especially the earlier works.

That’s me on a strangers roof without permission in Manali, India.

Who am I?

Although I have spent more than twenty years getting familiar with myself, I still can’t answer this question decently. So, how about you just poke around my social media accounts and get to know me? If that doesn’t quench your thrust for me, you can always ask me anything in the comments below.

Here’s my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.

What I’m into besides writing?

  • Reading, Traveling and Photography

These are the ones I have been told I’m okay at.

  • Web Design & Development, Product Design & Strategy, Network Security & Penetration Testing, Management Consulting, Stock Trading(Algorithms) and Entrepreneurship

These are the ones that I do good and get paid for. Here’s some of my work.

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” — Thoreau
