Another successful A2Z blog festival. I am very proud of myself. Is that very vain? Maybe! But I am going to revel in it. Here is my shiny new completion badge!
This year’s A2Z is my third outing. I had completed one on 2018 and 2019. So this is a hatrick for me! YAY!
Every year, I look forward to this blogging challenge. I start my preparations way before April. I select my theme, decide the titles of my posts and sometimes even finish writing them. So, I would be ready by mid-March itself. But this year has been quite the opposite. It has been a very hectic month this year. With the corona lockdown, and other related issues, I was not able to get my posts ready ahead of time.
I actually wanted to try my hand at fiction this time. This required a lot of thinking and time too. I did not have time for this. Not this time, so may be next. Fingers crossed.
I had chosen my theme to be the Char Dham yatra that I went to along with my family in 2019. It was a special and most memorable trip of my life and I wanted to capture this in all details for a lifetime to be enjoyed again and again. I had to write it all down before my memories became more and more diluted.
I would write each post just the day before it had to be posted. So it was a bit hectic for me. But with the grace of God I was able to complete it. I enjoyed every bit of it.
To make my posts better, I decided to post the photos in the form of videos. For this I created my own videos and uploaded them on my YouTube channel. So you can say I am now a Youtuber. 😀 I did have a big help from my daughter. She helped me create these videos, added music and all the rest. So big thanks to her.
I have only one regret with this year’s edition. I was not able to make time to read a lot of other bloggers. I was able to read only a few. I will try and catch up with all the posts in this month.
Once again a big thank you to all the people who very kindly read, liked and commented on all my posts.
I will definitely be back next year with another theme and 26 posts to go with it.
It was so much fun reading and reliving every part of the trip this last month! You literally burnt the midnight oil to get them all done! Bravo! 😀😀

Wow! I’m amazed that you didn’t prepare in advance for the challenge. And congratulations again on completing it and wowing us with your wonderful descriptions. A hat-trick – that’s amazing. Thank you for taking us on a virtual tour and for all those tips. I missed out on the challenge in 2019, otherwise that would have been a hat-trick for me. I’m looking forward to your posts. ♥️
