Why The Desi Writer?
Hi, my name is Immad Uddin Khan – an ever-curious being, always asking why, digging deeper, & ever-discovering more about life, reality, the universe we have within ourselves, and the universe we live inside. I’m at my best when I am researching and learning about new things. When I am pushed to think and look at things from a different perspective - I flourish.
What was The Desi Writer about?
My passion lay in technology, and I had a special interest in living an optimal life, focusing on improving my health, overall mindset, and happiness. I was always on a quest to seek truth: I questioned, I learned, I researched, I delved deep into everything, and I was perpetually curious to find the hidden meaning. I wasn’t afraid of walking between black and white. This site felt like a home to me— a place to collect thoughts, notes, reviews, and expressions, and at the same time, a place for me to share ideas for the world to look back on and reflect upon.
Throughout my life, I craved a place where I could speak the truth, allow myself to evolve, and speak the truth the next day, and the day after that, and so on… even if it was all different from yesterday.
For me, The Desi Writer (or WebSpace) was that sacred place.
It was my place to Evolve. Smile. Share. Learn. Rant. Rejoice.
I shared whatever I learned from life. I believed that everything we learned taught us something new for living a better life tomorrow. If I learned something new that I thought was helpful, I would share it with everyone. The next day, I might have learned something that contradicted what I knew yesterday, but it became part of my life—so I shared it.
And I kept doing it.
So what happened Now?
One of the best lessons I learned over the past year of rediscovering myself was that I was the happiest person alive when I lived in the present. I learned to do so through trial and error, and I shared that with everyone. I liked speaking my truth as it was at the time, without worrying about being proven “wrong” the next day.
I felt empowered. I felt great. I felt free, because I allowed myself to accept and appreciate where I was at that moment—right then, at that stage of my life. It was the kind of smile I didn’t want to wipe off my face. I truly enjoyed the process; it was a real joy to live in the present. I was glad I realized how much damage I had been doing to myself by living in an imaginary future and running away from a past that was long buried.
I didn’t know exactly when I started living in the present, nor did I recall what triggered it. What I did know was that it felt like a new awakening, and I was in a pure, joyous mood.
I was able to make amends with other people and experience relationships from a healthier perspective. Most importantly, I began to build a relationship with myself—something I had been missing before.
I allowed myself to be a bit “chaotic” in front of the world. I was troublesome at times and caused a lot of trouble for the people I attached myself to. I might have continued to be vulnerable—after all, we were all vulnerable.
After years of struggle and path seeking, I have finally come down to this. I am combining my efforts and putting them all in one place. I know it is hard to manage separate domains. However, it is not impossible, specially if you are able to find a great hosting provider like Hostinger.
However, it is not so hard to combine them together and bring them to one place. I am doing just that. Startups.Blog was a venture that I began a few months ago. I did get a response, but not of the kind I would have liked. So now, I have decided to incorporate my two separate ventures into one single platform - Immad Uddin Khan. Would I have been able to combine them on The Desi Writer? Yes. But I prefer to use my own name. No more hiding behind my own identity.
