A to Z Challenge - Reflections

The month of April just flew by. I am sure one of the reasons was the one-post-a-day routine.

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of posting 26 articles on "chemicals in our everyday life". 

I chose the topic because of my interest in chemistry in particular and science in general.

If you want to go over them, they are all here

I knew that science and chemicals are a part of our lives. But what I discovered in April, during the course of research for the posts, was its extent.

The A to Z Blogging Challenge, in a way, rekindled my interest in science which was sort of lying dormant all these years.

It wasn't easy putting up those posts. Time was a big challenge. But somehow, I managed to do it.

On the flip side, unlike the previous years, I couldn't visit as many fellow participants' posts as I wished to. Even if I managed to read, I didn't find enough time to key in a comment.

That can be made up in the coming days, and I hope to make up for what I missed.

I hope the April Challenge is just the beginning and we continue to read other posts as we share and learn new facets of everyday life.

  2. Yeah, that's the part that gets me every year. The visiting. Which is why when I saw there was an option to opt out and say I'd visit those that visited me, I took it. (And I did visit everyone who visited me if I could find their blog.) Congrats on making it to the end. Now, enjoy the rest after a job well done.

  6. I really enjoyed your facts this last month. Too bad there's not more time for reading other blogs.

  7. I am so sorry to have been absent. April was weird and frustrating. :( But no matter, it's May now and I'm really glad your interest in science has been piqued. :D

  9. Hi Pradeep - after doing a few AtoZ Challenges I know the amount of time that goes into them! The preparation and publishing of 26 posts in 30 days, the reading of other people's posts, reading the comments, writing comments....it's huge! I gave up, but you've ticked off another year - congrats on the achievement. :)

    Bravo ! Pour tout ce que tu as accompli : mener le challenge jusqu'au bout, traiter un sujet qui te passionne, et nous en faire profiter !
    Visiting other blogs is always the most difficult part of the Challenge... I hope that you found new bloggers friends to follow. Enjoy to rest now ;)

  11. Your series was very informative. I didn't read all of them because I'm not particularly interested in sodium & zinc. But for those who are interested, the posts must have made marvelous reading.

  13. Congrats, Pradeep! Fascinating but tough topic. I too struggled with time, and didn't manage to get to your blog during the Challenge. Hoping to visit over the next few weeks.

  15. Hi Pradeep - I'm sure all the posts were very informative - even as I wasn't participating I never got round to them all. I've been thinking about 'The Elements' by Tom Lehrer ... which makes me laugh every time and is so snappy ... I wish I could remember it! - so your posts mentally sent me off to his song. Congratulations - cheers Hilary
