PeaShooter's Posts & Paradoxically Peculiar

So I got a new job as a Digital Marketing and CRM specialist in the city dubbed as “Momma’s nightmare”. I had another job offer from Bangalore, but the monthly salary offered in Bangalore is not sufficient, especially considering that Bangalore is an expensive place to live in. But the same amount is a good amount in New Delhi. You see, Delhi is an affordable place to live in…if you know where…

After disappearing for like 365 days, I have shamelessly appeared back into my pregnant Peashooter’s Posts. So in this post, I’ll tell you what happened to me after the pandemic pounced on me. March 2020 Towards the end of the month, the Indore government called upon a week-long curfew in the wake of rising Coronavirus cases. I was in office at that time, and there had already been talks doing…

Gaslighting flashbacks- I feel like doing nothing. I hate myself because I have no discipline.

I don’t feel like doing anything. If the mobile phone is in front of me, I keep scrolling Instagram. Though I see repetitive posts, I keep scrolling.

I feel like doing nothing. I hate myself because I have no discipline.

I went to the hospital today. I got a stomach infection. Which means I won’t be getting to eat fish fry until my stomach gets back on track.

Mummy took me to the hospital in the…

I think I should start taking my anti-depressants again.

Yesterday night at dinner, Father was asking me about my tattoo, asking if cancer happens due to that. I shot back saying, “I’m not dead yet”. And he still poked around fervently, asking if there is any statistic around that and I said I don’t know. Then he poked about what did me and my sister promise to each other this Rakhi, and I…

And at that minute, I chuckled and shook my head in a rather defeated-disapproving manner, and I said with a dry smile - "You know me too well."Yup. That's why I stayed.

Heya. I know its been 192 days since I last showed my face up here – and if I remember rightly – it was my rant about why I feel so conflicted about either staying or leaving my first job and boss.

So today’s blog post is about why I decided to stay.

Right. So.

Let’s start with a list of reasons why I wanted to leave in the first place.

I wanted to leave because I felt everything was becoming…

This is why great people quit good jobs.

Since this is a rant, no images or gifs will be used. It interrupts the anger flow.

I absolutely hate writing guest posts! Especially for clients who have absolutely no regard for the hard work you do to bring her page ranking for more than 100 keywords in her own country! Oh, with no paid advertising, did I mention that?

I hate writing guest posts because I put my heart and soul into writing…

Lord, you have any idea how long it took me to decide to leave my current boss and company??

Did you ever have a dilemma which intricately intertwines between personal and professional life that you feel absolutely no sense of direction can scrape the existential crisis clean?

I remember the last time my personal and social life intricately knotted together to give rise to..? Depression, of course. What did you guys expect?

I am not looking forward to having another depressive episode in…

The thing about creativity is that you find some makeup the other way to infiltrate the enemy camp.

The thing about creativity is that you find some makeup the other way to infiltrate the enemy camp. The thing about creativity starts with the delight in finding loopholes within some existing rules, or the lack of therein.

Take, for example, my smoking behavior.

Back in my hometown, I used to smoke with only one guy – let’s call him Kaa – and he used to live in another…

Romance, passion and consent

And the confident personality of a person who willfully understands if the partner refuses and doesn’t push about it is even more desirable.

I have never felt so empowered and powerful, getting my geography changed on my own will, and my own money.

I just got inked with my own money, and I am so happy that I can now show it off to my mother.

Well, I already had two tattooes … both inked on the occasion of my 18th birthday. This January, I wanted one as a gift as well, but that contradicted with my lust for getting one from the money I earned … so I grumbled a lot and let it go.

After eying one design after another, one that struck…

Running a small business is like owning a bunch of school children with just the Principal as the sole staff member.

I just discovered that being the owner of a small business is one hell of a roller coaster ride.  I was researching about the difficulties a direct mail marketer faces, and while I got my answers, I also found out the problem marketers and businesses face.

Hiring talent. Finding the platform which best suits your business. Proving ROI. Hell, calculating ROI itself is a huge task. And then comes…

We got the deal. We’ll be going his SEO, social media and content. As time passes by, we’ll start Google ads as well.”

We have no freaking clue where this Canadian start-up dude came to know about our business, but he did, and he liked us.

So, after a couple of Skype calls, my boss looked at me and said – “I am pretty sure I will convert him. He doesn’t have a huge marketing budget, but this is the first product we’ll be working on, and we’ll get to learn a lot.”

A moment’s silence.

“Find some of our good blog…

But again, you have to drag to be consciously conscious.

Dear future employer,

Today, I will tell you about my experiences (both personal and professional) in digital marketing.

Though I have been in this industry for only 9 months, I feel my knowledge has expanded its territories, both professionally and personally speaking.

But today, I want to talk about the similarities between SEO and Depression.

SEO

SEO is painful. Since I work in a start-up – a…

Now, I am both excited and worried about this new twist of events.

Please read “First Client – PART 1” to get a better grip of this blog post.

Recap:

“…. We got the deal. We’ll be doing his SEO, social media and content. As time passes by, we’ll start Google ads as well”, says the enthusiastic boss.

“And who’s gonna write the content?”, I ask half-grumpily and half-not-so-hopefully.

“You, who else. You wanna become a creative director, right? Writing is the way…

Landscapes of the mind

“Sometimes, the dark journeys through the cave systems of our mind are necessary. The Dark Night of the Soul is a spiritual experience. Sometimes we have to break down to break through.” ❤ ❤ 😥

Work, depression and self esteem

Nimue, I always follow your blog posts passionately just because we both love nature and think a lot and lot about every experience. Sometimes when I feel stuck, I go through your posts and feel slightly less confiscated. Thank you and don’t stop being large at Druid Life!!
