A Cliché !!

"It’s been a while since I’ve written a post"

This has unintentionally become the preface to many of my recent posts. Blogging, for me, is one of the best ways to organize and reflect on the information stored in my mind. Learning isn’t just about reading, listening, or watching—it’s about absorbing and understanding. A common misconception is that learning ends with knowing facts or statistics. However, real comprehension begins when we actively organize what we’ve learned, whether mentally or through an external medium. Blogging serves as that bridge, helping to crystallize subconscious knowledge into conscious understanding.

I believe blogging should happen whenever inspiration strikes. Delaying it risks diluting the essence of what we want to express. There have been countless moments, thoughts, and experiences that sparked the urge to write. Unfortunately, many of these ideas slipped away, lost in the chaos of poor time management and my ever-shifting interests.

Posts like "Time and Space," "The Science Behind Booking Tickets on IRCTC," and "Abstraction is Amazing" are just a few examples of ideas that bloomed briefly in my mind but withered away before I could capture them.

The rise of microblogging platforms like Twitter has made it easier for bloggers—but also lazier. While Twitter offers a convenient way to share quick thoughts, it can unintentionally hinder thoughtful, long-form writing. The brevity of tweets makes it tempting to express ideas instantly, but it often robs us of the opportunity to reflect and write meaningful posts. Mobile access further encourages these bite-sized updates, leaving little room for well-planned blogging.

It’s easy to find external factors to blame for such missed opportunities. But upon reflection, I realize that the core issue lies within me.

What I need most now is discipline.
