Blogging Resources

Even I get by with a little bit of help . . .

A lot goes on behind the scenes to keep this blog running smoothly. If you plan to start or run a blog or website of your own then you know how overwhelming it must be to find the right tool for you that you can trust.

This selection of tools are like my best buddies in keeping everything from crashing down.

I’ve picked these out from an ocean of options and personally use and trust them to save you (and me) the trouble of decision fatigue.

web hosting

True to it’s name, it’s one of the best places to get cheap domains. And what’s more they add tools like privacy protection for free.

Find Your Perfect Domain

Professional blogging requires dedicated web-hosting. Think of this as your space that you own and can build anything on. I have hosted with Rovity for over a year now and my website has rarely run into issues since. When it does, I take the opportunity to trouble them for the smallest of my queries, which they resolve patiently. Their shared web-hosting plans are extremely economical and beginner friendly at less than a dollar.

Get Hosting

wordpress themes & plugins

Divi is one best premium WordPress themes that I've personally used in the past. And it’s not just a theme but a theme builder. That means you can customise every aspect of the theme. With their drag-and-drop builder, it is easier than ever for non-coders to create responsive pixel-perfect websites in a fraction of the time.

Build Beautiful Websites

Elementor is what this website is built with, and a personal favourite of mine. Its simplicity is something I fell in love with and the powerful ability to customise every aspect of my blog the way I want it. Investing in buying their pro version is worth every penny.

Go Elementor !

email marketing

A reliable Email Marketing service is a must if you want to start any business or blog. Kit is made specifically for Creators like you and me to connect to their Audience more intimately and reach them directly.

Use Kit

ITS Bulletin

I send personally customised monthly letters filled with raw thoughts on life and exclusive travel tips delivered right to your inbox. No spam ever.

And the best part, It’s free!

Day 4: Psychedelic

For the prompt Psychedelic, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, Rishikesh just fit right in.

A holy town by the river Ganga that emerges from the Himalayas, it is known as the Yoga Capital of the World. People come here to learn and practice different Yoga styles and it is filled with Pilgrims, the Spiritually Curious and Adventurous.

Here I decided to illustrate the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram or better known as Beatles Ashram.

Day 3: Ligature

For the prompt Ligature, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I had my mind on Diu and this one facade that I found really pretty there.

Diu is a small island joined to the state of Gujarat with a bridge. With its Portuguese Architecture and influence in the town it seemed only apt to bring that out for this piece.

After a lot of experimentation and wondering why I decided to paint such an elaborate background, I completed this postcard. The initial style of my lettering didn’t work and I had to re-do it to match the background once it was done. Finally simplicity won and something emerged that I was happy to look at. But I’m glad I didn’t abandon it halfway and saw it through.

Day 2: Ribbon

For the prompt Ribbon of @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I wanted my piece to be delicate and light. Coastal city of Kochi seemed perfect for it. With its history welcoming many cultures and many types of buildings I was at a loss about what I would pick to represent it. And ocean and the unique chinese fishing nets seemed to be the answer to my vision.

Day 1: Bevel

A bit late to the party but here’s my addition to the first prompt of @letteringstylechallenge Style Challenge by @aureliemaron.

Since travel is a huge part of who I am,I decided to letter some postcards of my Favourite Places in India.

Agra is the first thing that comes to mind whenever anyone wants to travel here. Seeped in Mughal Architecture, I remember reading as a child that true beauty of Taj Mahal is witnessed on a Full Moon Night…

Still can’t believe that it’s almost two years since we first danced to this …

Never missing an opportunity to use a beautiful space next to the beach and under the sunny afternoon sky to do what we love : DANCE 💃🏻 🕺🏾
