When all the big things stop making sense and big plans begin to sink, it’s time to look at little things in our life and focus on baby steps to feel blessed, feel grateful, feel motivated and encouraged to start again and feel hopeful all over again.
People ask me if I am busy these days – No, I am not. I specifically kept myself free for this month, starting July 1st, to focus on book promotions and to be back to writing updates. But then, things come up unexpectedly and one of them is poor internet.
So for the past 2 days, I didn’t have the internet, despite having time at hand. It kept coming and going so I could browse a few sites, twitter, etc, but there was hardly any speed or continuity.
So, this morning when I woke up to find the signals at level 4, I quickly picked up the laptop to write this post.
Let’s see what we can do with time at hand. I have decided to focus on the promotion of my book and I really hope that the book gets listed soon —
I’ve taken the advice from you and recorded a podcast for 3-4 pages of my book. I will start posting them in an episodic format and may continue to read till initial 1-2 chapters of the book, depending on how it goes 🙈😄 Coz I am a total novie there. This is the first time I have recorded something. I hope to improve with time 😀
Also, does someone know of a good site where podcasts are uploaded? Or should I do it on Instagram and here, on the blog? YouTube? Honestly, I am still exploring options.
Someone asked me to do an Insta live… Again, I’ve never done anything like that before. In fact, if you’ve followed me on social media, I never do things like – #Askme or live kinda things… one, I am too awkward a personality to pull off a ‘Live’…or an #Askme… so I don’t know…
Moreover…What will I do in a live if no one joins 😃🙈🙈
So, do let me know if I should try that.. maybe to announce the podcast…
I’m overwhelmed with the interest the book and its cover has generated on Twitter and Facebook. I’m overwhelmed. I’m touched. And deeply grateful. Thank you sooooo much.
It’s humbling, actually 💞
I’ll upload my fictions as and when I get time. I have taken another advice from one of the well-wishers and decided not to make a schedule, for now. It creates pressure when I am not able to write, or have poor internet and I feel really bad for making people wait, after promising.
For the time being, I’m planning to post further BEB on the other site, I had made for Manan fics, so that this site doesn’t get overwhelmed and doesn’t crash.
Do write to me, if you want me to write about a topic. A lot of people tell me that they have no passion in their lives and nothing to focus on.
So, tonight, I will write about how to find passion in your life. If all goes well, and if internet is smooth, I’ll be here at 8:00 pm, talking about the passion in our lives and how to find it.
Till then, keep smiling. Believe that you deserve the best and the best is yet to come.
Stay safe. Stay blessed.
Lots of love

Hope you are fine, Priya. Tooth extraction is very painful and I can understand how difficult it must be. I had a tooth infection around 15 days ago. It was terrible. Couldn’t eat anything for almost a week.
Take care and eat medicines on time. Lots of love for you 🤗💖

I don’t have Instagram, but if you do do a live, I will get it just for you! Also do anything you want which makes you comfortable, I’m there with you at all stages, don’t worry about that! In regards to posting and having a schedule yeah don’t burden yourself you already have so much going on, like I’ve always said, upload when YOU can don’t pressure yourself, none of us are going anywhere well I defo ain’t lol
😘
Also I have no idea, if there’s any good apps, but I think you should post stuff on all platforms, it’ll be good for promotion, and for the live maybe YT, Insta, FB? Or wherever that makes you comfortable
I know you are not going anywhere and I promise, I won’t let you go anywhere. I will track you down and bring you back… lol…
Lots and lots of love and wishes. Stay safe 💖💖
Wherever you go, i will be there with you 😃

Tbh, I seriously have no idea about where to upload a podcasts. But I think you can try out somewhere new and post about that in all your social media accounts because this way you will reach a totally new audience. Well, I’m happy to know that you have recorded a few pages and am excited to hear the same. And the live idea is totally mind blowing di. I was actually wondering whether you will do a virtual book launch. But pretty please inform and go live because i wouldn’t miss it for anything else.
Love you for this positive message Shanaya.
I will definitely inform and go live… can’t afford to surprise and be surprised in return 😄
Do let me know what time is best suited for most…
Lots of love. Stay safe 💞
Love you more for everthing that you do. You can go live whenever you’re free and have time to do it. Just let us know and we will wrap up everything before itself❤. Stay safe too di😍.
You guys are the best. So proud and privileged to have you with me 🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖
Hey there. I hope you are doing good.For podcasts I guess the best would be Spotify . I have been a large amount of traffic gather in Spotify and you can come live in Insta to announce that you are going to upload your podcast in Spotify and bribe us with a teaser of the same. I guess this will help a lot .
I’m doing good Bidisha.
So sweet of you to be willing to attend my Live… Haha!
Yes, i will announce the podcast with the Live, will post the podcast on all channels that I can, especially Spotify, and all my own social media channels… and let you know!
And thank you sooooo much for the suggestion.
love you 💖💖
Hi di,
The idea of chapter reading seems great! I am really looking forward to it. You can also make igtv videos on instagram;that ways many other people would be able to listen to it and hence more popularity.
Also can you please share on hope!? I feel hopeless these days,like I am stuck inkaar and not able to move forward and the anxiety that comes along with it becomes difficult to handle and on some nights it becomes so much consuming.
Thank you for the IgTv idea, Isha. I will do that.
And, yes, I will definitely write on Hope.
After Passion – My next post will be on Hope.
Till then, know that being stuck is a common feeling and only those who are able to keep afloat in difficult times, reach till the end and win.
Lots of love and wishes for you 💞
