It has been more than 6 years since blogging happened to me. Even after all these years, someone appreciating my writing, saying a few nice words, liking or sharing a post on Facebook, or getting me published always thrills me. Hence this post.
I have always taken my writing seriously. That is one of the few things I enjoy doing. In my professional life, I do one of the two- I either run statistical analysis, or write. Someone told me the other day, “You don’t feel stats, you just do it. But you feel writing.”, I was taken aback by the honesty in what my friend had said. True, I do stat because I need to earn my living, I need to finish my Ph.D. on time, get published, find a job, and accomplish. That doesn’t mean stat thrills me. Writing does.
I have often ranted about my alienating experiences in the US, and more so, in India. Recently, I wrote an article about the same, that was published by Amreekan Desi. Hence wanted to share the news. This article was somewhat influenced by my thoughts expressed here and here. Hope you enjoy reading it.
Thank you Amreekan Desi for the honor.

Read the article just now and could relate to every word you said. Had had about the same experience having spent 4 years in Canada. I visited Kolkata twice in between though, so the shock came in steps.
Read your post on Amreekan Desi...so well written! and so TRUE!!! :)
Stat doesn't thrill anyone. I feel for the pollsters who earn a living by drowning on statistical data.
keep writing.. :)
