The Premise : Why Am I even Starting a Second Blog

Hey Reader,

Welcome to the first read of this blog!

So now when you have read this title and still reading the article it is important that I introduce you to my first blog. My first blog, initially popular as "The Gossip Lover" was later changed to " The Backyard Lawn" due to some SEO issues. That one is closer to me. I wrote a lot of stuff over years across different platforms and finally gathered the courage to be okay with low visibility yet trustworthy google platform blogger.

A quick background, I am a proud individual, a woman, a daughter, a sister, and a close friend to many. a lot of these very complex roles decide every step that I take in my life. Bla, bla, bla...I am currently a Data Scientist from a non-computer science profile and hence a very fancy LinkedIn profile, probably that's where you found me from. I am going to keep this blog very educational. Talking about what I did to be here and what can help you keep the right attitude towards your career.

Anyway, a lot to learn and talk about in upcoming blogs. Please subscribe to this one and meanwhile check out the other blog I mentioned above. And let me know your views on comments.

See you on the next one!

Take Care.

Cheers
