Today marks the 50th post in the “Answer Me Everything” challenge that I undertook about two months ago.

Although I would love to continue this little endeavour of mine further, I think I will face some hurdles (also I am facing some now) in the near future. The most important one is I’ll have to focus more on my studies and research to keep up with my career prospects. I’ve been struggling since some time to write the posts, mostly because it takes a lot of time and understanding to come up with a question and then research and find out it’s answer. Trust me, it’s not that easy (Ah! the constant bombardment of irrelevant stuff or false answers).

A part of me also thinks, it is time to move on to something different. I have grown a lot since this undertaking and it has certainly enhanced my writing and researching skills. It has also increased my articulation. I think it is a journey that everyone should take part it. You will get to know yourself and better your skills as a writer and blogger.

Although initially I declared that I will be answering anything, I never did answer questions that I thought would spark debates or let people think that I am just preaching stuff. I always tried to answer questions that could be scientifically answered or for which I had an unambiguous rational explanation (and steered clear of religious/political debates).

After saying all this, I don’t want to discontinue with this wonderful habit that I have cultured. At the same time I want to reduce the burden on myself. I have come up with some ideas for the same:

  • I will post questions that I don’t have to research furiously. Probably some funny and other questions based on my beliefs. Then, I’ll review that after 50 more days.
  • I will post at a lower frequency but the same kind of questions.
  • I will post weekly about any given experiment - detailing it and then explaining the consequences of that given experiment in a simple language (but without dumbing things down!).

Help me choose which one to do! Also,
Best of luck if you are undertaking or have decided to undertake such a journey. If not, then DO!
