Best of 2019

2019 is coming to an end and thankfully so. To be frank, 2019 was an extremely horrible year in my life and I’m glad it’s coming to end! As expected, I didn’t write many posts this year or rather neglected blogging to a great extent.

I’m not too sure if 2020 will be a better year and hence won’t make any resolutions on the blogging front.

But then, in some corner of my mind there is hope that things will workout for me. I can only hope; only time will tell what’s in store for me and my blog!



In spite of all this, I did pen a few posts and as is the custom, I present to you the best posts of the year 2019. Do take a look.
