The beans have been spilled..

A to Z theme reveal 2015
A to Z theme reveal 2015

When I first heard about the A to Z challenge, I did not know that it is such a popular one among bloggers. Only once I signed up, I started receiving posts on the challenge and then the entire idea of blogging in this unique fashion struck. The first post that I read on the topic was Shailaja’s and she spoke about her lessons from the past. Well, this was the post that got me going in the direction. I am yet to start writing my posts and I need to start scheduling them but I know that unlike any other challenge that I have taken, I am better prepared for this one. No the preparation is not just cos I want to publish on 26 days of April and the posts will be on topics from A to Z! It’s about having the time in my hands to be able to read, interact, learn and engage with the community.

Taking up a blogging challenge is a stretch in all ways possible but at the same time, it is also a great way to

  • learn,
  • test your capabilities and
  • keeping the blog’s readers engaged about the content you are going to publish.

And with this idea in mind, I am all set to give you some happiness and a lot of food for thought this April. The theme for my first A to Z challenge will be set on something that is close to me cos that’s who I am. I am a woman. I will talk about women in India for the sole reason that I am exposed to the women in this country but as I will get to share over the 26 days, you will see that in many ways women across countries will be able to relate to what I write. We will have a mixed bag – some posts will make you smile and feel good while others will leave you thinking and reflecting. Through my posts, I am hoping to bring about a little awareness and a some positive change.

My theme is a simple one but I feel this is a small package with a lot of potential to help women be better and know things better. To all you men out there, do not think that I am not inclusive enough. With your support, as a woman I know we can tread on the rough terrain together and while I hold your hand to support you, you will stand behind me when I need you. We are in this journey together where our aim is a better world.

Let’s rock the A to Z challenge!

I am taking up the April A to Z Challenge. Do leave your thoughts. They sure will motivate me.

  2. Interesting Theme, Parul. This is my first time participating in the AtoZChallenge too, and looks like the exact same post by Shailaja got us both introduced to the challenge. Looking forward to reading your posts in April.
