On This Day
Day 86 / 366
The great thing about these blogs is that in a weird way they let me document my life. Most days when I do not have anything in particular to write, I write about whatever I have been feeling. So I thought it might be fun to revisit the blogs I wrote on this day, March 26th, in previous years.
Last year, i.e. March 26th, 2023, I wrote this
This has a slightly negative vibe to it, and I know that was because I was going through a rough time and was tired of all the responsibilities I had. 2023 was one of the toughest years for me, and I can see from that blog how much I just wanted to leave everything and escape. In hindsight, I think whatever happened, happened for a reason I was meant to go through that struggle to reach someplace better.
Let’s go back a bit. I did not write much in 2022 or 2021, but in 2020, on March 20th I wrote this
This was the COVID days and just 5 days before the first lockdown began. I was running a team in a startup back then, and we had just decided to start working from home. I remember that earlier I was a skeptic about covid and that it would never become that big of a deal. It was around this time that I started to realize how wrong I was, and like everyone else, I was panicking. Back then, my blogs used to be mostly positive, and this one was my attempt to console myself that things are going to be alright.
It’s funny how back then I was waiting for things to get normal again, and yet 4 years later, the chaos has still not settled.
Let’s go back another year, 2019, the year I started writing this blog. This is what I wrote on March 26th of that year.
This was definitely a blog I had prepared for. Back then, I used to look online for interesting things all day and note down the ones I could write about. This is one of those educational blogs, it’s ok but it does not strike anything in me when I read it back.
This was a fun exercise, I will do it again next year for a different day.
