Hello & Welcome: My first blog post!

👉 👈

It's happening.  I am writing my first blog post after so long. The last time I wrote something like this was in college for a project I was doing during my bachelor's studies. 

Thinking back, it was an overwhelming experience being occupied with so many other tasks and finding time to blog about the progress was definitely not easy, let's say that!

What is this blog about? 

Well, for a long time, I wanted a space to write about different aspects of life. I had been contemplating creating a blog of my own. But it never came to be as social media apps started appearing. 

I wanted a space to post not just about a single niche but everything and anything that comes across in our lives. We do have social media for various media content, photography on Instagram, and tweets on Twitter  X and Facebook but I find there is so much in the apps than what they were originally created for that it's difficult to manage plus the distraction. 

Of course, I will be using these apps to post updates on things like photographs and videos (things that can be kept away from the blog and without stressing the servers here :D) the blog will mainly be about updates and stories that I find are hard to post on apps. 

So I will be using this for stories, news, travel, updates, tech and other updates in life. 

I will add links to Instagram and YouTube for photos and videos of any sort. 


Straight from the gallery: Recent Trip to Amsterdam

Take a look at this majestic model of a ship in Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This was in a special collection ... it's a huge museum and I underestimated it 😅 

Tip: YOU NEED A WHOLE DAY!!

How Weather Dictates the Game of Cricket

Image
Ah, yes, cricket — the so-called “gentleman’s game.” A noble, civilised pursuit played in whites, with tea breaks and polite applause. That is, until Mother Nature shows up in Dublin like, “Oh, you thought this was going to be a proper game, did you?” If you’ve ever tried to play cricket in Ireland, you know it’s basically a high-stakes weather gamble with a side of existential dread. One minute you’re basking in the sun, thinking you’re Virat Kohli in Mumbai, the next minute you’re wondering if your toes still exist because the wind just slapped you across the pitch like an unpaid bouncer. But fear not — I’ve done the reading (yes, actual science), sweated in the sun, froze in the drizzle, and misfielded in every possible weather condition to bring you this comprehensive, somewhat bitterly amused guide to how Dublin’s weather ruins—or "enhances"—your cricket game. ☀️ Hot & Humid: Paradise for Batters, Purgatory for Bowlers We’re starting with a unicorn: a genuinely ...

Irish Summer Heats Up: What's Behind the Warm Spell?

Image
Ireland is experiencing a period of notably warm weather for late June and early July, with temperatures in some areas, particularly the east, potentially reaching up to 26°C. While this isn't a full-blown heatwave across the entire island by Met Éireann's definition (5 consecutive days over 25°C), it's certainly a departure from the typical Irish summer, leaving many wondering what's causing the mercury to rise. According to Met Éireann and other meteorological experts, the current warmer conditions are largely influenced by a "heat dome" affecting much of Europe. This phenomenon involves a high-pressure system that traps hot air beneath it, leading to prolonged periods of warm, settled weather. While countries like Spain, Portugal, and France are currently enduring a severe heat blast with temperatures well over 40°C, Ireland is catching the edge of this system. Another significant contributing factor is the elevated sea surface temperatures in r...

Babar Azam: Turning the Page on Greatness

Image
In cricket, as in life, greatness is not defined by never falling—but by the ability to rise, reframe, and rewrite your path. Babar Azam, Pakistan’s poster boy of elegance and consistency, now finds himself at one of the most critical junctures of his career. And it might just be the making of a greater legend. From Crown Jewel to Crossroads Babar Azam’s journey has always mirrored poetry in motion. His cover drives, wristy elegance, and calm under pressure drew comparisons with modern-day greats. For years, he was the mainstay of Pakistan’s batting, the captain in all three formats , and the beacon of a team often engulfed in transition. But 2025 hasn’t been kind. A string of underwhelming performances in the Pakistan Super League raised eyebrows. With just 117 runs in 6 matches , Babar, once Mr. Reliable, was labeled out of rhythm— slow , even “unsuited” for modern T20 aggression. The verdict? Dropped from the national T20 side as selectors leaned into a new, attacking vi...
