Social Media

Updated My Blog to Act Like a Feed

It’s been many months since I took myself off from Facebook and Instagram. My mental health and professional life is a lot better since then.

However, I miss posting updates on social media. Especially pics of the food I cook & eat, my cat Squanchy, beautiful Oaxaca, and some personal stuff. And of course, my political and geeky rants.

Distractions are what I’d blame if you asked me why I haven’t written any blog for such a long time. But that’d be me just making an excuse.

There’s work and there’s personal life, and between that, there’s still a lot of time that goes wasted.

Candy Crush. PUBG. And the next hot mobile game.

If not that, there’s Netflix, YouTube and the next outrageous statement by Trump or Modi/Yogi.… » click to continue reading “Our Distractions Will Be the End of Us All!”
