I am aware that I have been very irregular on my posts recently but let me assure that my passion towards blogging has not faded or please do not feel, I am not serious about the blogging. Well! The truth is I am revamping, redesigning and resetting my blog and website. The fresh look of my blog will be launched very soon.

The Year 2016 was full of mixed events for me, filled with joy and pain, the year saw me establishing my blog site, launched androidApp of my blog with the help of my friend Aniruddha Pathak. I bought the domain rdhsir.com for my website and created a branded identity under the name BookLysis for my book reviews. But unexpectedly my laptop was attacked by any .cerber3 ransomware and I had left with no other option but formatting and lose all my important data stored in my laptop as it was encrypted with the .cerber3 ransomware. This attack was more harmful to my efforts put in by me in all these years; than mere to a laptop. I thank my friends Rahul Girhepunje and Manoj Raut for helping me during that painful period.

Later I had to face another blow from MyWapBlog - the old hosting provider of my blog as they closed their service, hence once again I was forced to migrate my blog from MyWapBlog to Blogger. However, I would like to thank Mr. Arvind Gupta (Founder of MyWapBlog) for his assistance and full support in backup and migration process of my blog. Though the migration work is done, my website www.rdhsir.com is under reconstruction now. I am going to change the current template and adopt a new and beautiful template very soon. I am thinking to create separate niche blogs with unique subdomain under my own domain rdhsir.com instead of the one multi-niche blog. So this is what I think about blogging.

While celebrating my birthday, today; I would like to share with you that I have decided to get a permanent job at my first priority. Hopefully, I would get a job in next couple of months.
