Thoughts Behind This Blog
I write for myself. Writing is a catalyst for clear thinking, and I believe this habit has helped me a lot. It doesn’t matter whether this turns into a successful blog that can draw thousands of readers or money someday.
I have a strong journaling habit. Of course, I can’t share everything publicly. But there are some thoughts that I feel that the world should know. Those thoughts are posted on this blog.
I hope anyone who spends their precious time on this blog is entertained or amused by my thoughts. Terms of use, privacy policy and refund policy have been updated as I have now enabled paid subscriptions.
Regards,
Nithesh S
