Purpose of this blog

The purpose of this blog is not to get views or build an audience.

Most likely not one will ever read these posts and that's ok.

The goal is to express thoughts or explore interesting topics everyday by writing about them.

The mere act of writing about something forces one to think more deeply about it.

Building a habit of writing everyday helps with being more consistent in life.

Sure, there will be days when I would be blank or would not feel like writing. But I would like to approach blogging as a habit that needs to be done everyday in all situtations instead of when I am in the 'mood' to write.

It's not essential to produce a very insightful piece everyday but the habit of creating something everyday would be helpful in the long run.

I also don't plan to write a blog post about a topic in a single day. Mostly I'll start writing about something and then over a period of time (days, weeks, months, ...) keep updating it. Each post will have a version number that would keep changing with each edit.

I optimistically hope that this initiative does not suffer the same fate as most of my other side projects, which get started with very high enthusiasm but are largely forgotten after few days.

Let's see how consitent I actually stay.
