1 year anniversary!

 Hey reader!

So you must be wondering, "What in the world is Diya doing here?. She is active on her word press blog.". Well the answer to that is that...It has officially been a year since I started blogging :))). (Btw, I was terribly busy the past few days so we may have missed it..by 2 months)


 So at the time of writing (May 20th 2021), it's a year since my first ever post on blogger and I want to thank everyone who has been a part off my life during this time. You all motivated me to start a new hobby and here I am 😁

And to celebrate this occasion, I'll share the blog analytics and also answer a few mingling questions

So...why did I start blogging?

Even after a year of blogging, I still haven't explained why. So it was April 29th 2020, a week after my school closed down due to the pandemic. It was my vacation so I there was double the boredom.

And then my dad suggested blogging. Now, I was not much of a writer so I was slightly hesitant at the time. I decided to start writing my first blog.

 

How many blogs did you have to make before you actually got views.

So I did write a few blogs and they did get some views but I'm pretty sure that was me 😅. At that time I used to play this game called "Temple Run" (Who am I kidding I still do). So there was this character that you could purchase. Now I really wanted that character. My dad made an offer. He said that every paragraph of blog I made, I would get some money. And that's how I wrote about one of my longest trips, my beach trip from 2018. Turns out, travel blogs are popular and I got views everyday. I don't really care much about views these days but at the time, it motivated me to do more.

 

Which post is your most popular one?

  I know I said that travel blogs are popular but that's not my most popular blog. That award goes to my cycle review post with more than 650 views! (Who would have thought that one was going to blow up :P).

 

And now onto the fun part...

Views and Analytics

So unfortunately, blogger doesn't show reader the amount of reads (Come on, we need an update). So it's now time to share my views and who's watching from where :)

Now admittedly, I only saw this yesterday and fell out of my chair because of the views (Seriously, thank you so much for the support!) and am going to share it with you

For now, my blog has about 2.4K views and 110 comments (Half of which are mine). With many different countries which are-

India
1.68K
 
United States

Singapore

Don't ask me what "unknown region"or "Other" means because I don't know either.

Now onto my post views.. 

So as I said earlier, my cycle review post has the most views but there are are obviously a lot more views. Let's see the other posts

The best trip ever?

This really was amazing!!! Hi reader, Hope you're doing good ;)   So if you have read most of my blogs (If you haven't please check all of them out), you probably know that I travel a lot. I love travel and take every opportunity to go on at least a 30 minute tour. Many of you must be wondering "Hey Diya, of all the places you've gone, which was your most favorite? Maybe it was that beach trip you blogged about earlier or maybe you had a trip abroad that you haven't blogged about yet".   Don't worry, there is an answer to that burning question. For starters I haven't been abroad before so no, it wasn't in Japan or Canada (But I may be able to go when Covid-19 ends). It was actually my trip to Kalimpong, West Bengal that was my favorite.(It was 2 years ago)   Oh, I didn't write about the Kalimpong trip? No problem, let me write about it now.   It went a bit like this… Day - 1 ...

My first ever pets

They are so cute :) Cats are popular pets. They are very playful and energetic. Playing with these animals provides loads of entertainment. Yes, today I will share a story on how I got some unexpected pets. It all started (2 years ago) when my mom found my pram (that I used as a baby) and decided to put it out in our terrace. The next day, I decided to go to the terrace to get my school uniform. I glanced at the pram for a moment and was surprised to see two small kittens in the pram. I told my parents and I fed them some milk. After I came from school, I saw that their mom had come and just gave some and left the terrace. I decided to name one Oscar and the other Oreo (unfortunately they look exactly the same in photos so it's hard to differentiate) I enjoyed a lot with Oscar and Oreo. Oscar was a mischievous kitten, who kept walking about the terrace garden. Oreo was a scaredy-cat (no pun intended) and never got out of the pram. Even with their differences, they got along well an...

You really should try it! Hi reader, Nice to see you again :) Pickling is normally used to preserve food so that it stays fresh for a long time. But pickling particular veggies can make a delicious and healthy snack. Normally a lot of restaurants serve this delicious snack for a hefty price. But why spend so much money for it when you can just make them them at home? Yes, this blog is about how you can make your own pickles. Ingredients:- Some cucumber, carrot and green chilies (add how much ever you like) 2-3 cloves of garlic White vinegar (you can also use apple-cider vinegar) 1 tbs salt 1 tbs sugar Spices (anything not too strong-smelling) Container (heatproof glass jar recommended)  Instructions:- Cut all your veggies (you can cut them length-wise, breadth-wise or leave them whole) and put them in your chosen container Add 1 tbs of salt and sugar to the veggies and garlic Take some water (enough to fill 3/4 of the container) and boil it. Add your preferred spices into the water...
