A to Z Challenge - Theme Reveal


My engagement with the blogosphere has slowed down significantly due to pressing work and personal commitments. So much so, I thought I will have to give this year's A to Z Challenge next month a miss.

But, fortunately, things are easing up, and I’m confident I can participate again, just as I have for the past seven years.

The challenge involves publishing a post each day of April — except four Sundays — on a word corresponding to each letter of the English alphabet.  So, that is a total of 26 posts for the month.  

Now, it’s time for the "theme reveal", where participants, if they choose to, can share the subject they plan to blog about.

In previous years, I’ve sometimes chosen a specific theme, while at other times, I’ve written about random topics.

I thought this time I would pick one.   

Lately, everyone has been talking about the heat — it already feels like summer. So this year, I’ve decided to focus on ‘environment and ecology.’ That will be my theme.

Now, I just need to come up with 26 related topics. Hopefully, I’ll manage!

  1. That is a great theme! Very important topics, especially now, and especially in view of what is happening in the US in regards to the environment and safeguards.

    1. Hi Lisa - Thank you. Here in India too weather patterns have gone crazy, and have become more unpredictable than what they once used to be!

    1. Hi Nicole - Thank you. World over it's the same problem. Unless something is immediately done on a big scale, it will be really hard days ahead.

  3. I am following your blog and have it posted on one of my blogrolls. I like your theme and am looking forward to learning more. My theme is me, this year and I am doing an A to Z dive on what makes me tick. I have nothing written yet but many ideas.

  4. A very relevant theme. All the best. I hope to be there too on A2Z though I'm yet to decide a theme. I generally go with something related to literature, my forte.

  5. Hi Pradeep - well done on tackling another A-Z Challenge - I'm so minimal in my blogging these days, I can't imagine putting out a post every day like I did back when I was doing the challenge. I'll pop in now and then to catch up where I can. Good luck!

    1. Hi Leanne - Thank you. I had no plans to do it this year, since over the past few months, I have hardly got time to look into blogs or post one myself. But, now looks like I will get some time in the coming months. So, I thought why not? Let me see how far it goes!

    1. Hi Tarkabarka Hölgy:
      Thank you for dropping by my blog.
      It'll be a challenge to figure out 26 words linked to environment. I hope to figure out in the days to come.
      Not just Hungary, the whole world seems to be becoming a desert!

  7. This is a very topical theme. I hope the posts will deal with issues like how individuals, governments, and society can prevent, minimise, or control the adverse effects of changes in the environment related to the chosen theme. Thank you.
