Journal of My Journey

After slacking on a weekly post, I'm back on the track with new content! This time's topic is a history that's not completely part of the past yet. You've got the spoiler in the title already; it's the hot topic of the beginning of last decade- the Arab Spring. There's much to get into regarding this topic and so I intend to make two (or more if needed) parts of today's post. Here's the part one where I'll be covering what Arab Spring is, how it began and a glimpse of what it led to.  It all started from a small country in North Africa- Tunisia; a country having a long history of corruption and oppression from the government. In the cover of farce-like democracy, the country actually ran by dictatorship under the power of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's second president starting from 1987. People didn't have the freedom of speech and government corruption, unemployment, social inequality were distressing their life. Ben Ali's...

Ramadan Mubarak! Hope you're spending the blessed month the way you should! So far, I have been learning the front-end part which is- building the structure of the website using HTML and making it look good using CSS . And I have been enjoying the learning a lot. So, this is how it's going- I started by learning the basics of HTML and CSS. I learned the basics from YouTube and from one channel. Based on a few more experiences, I can recommend you to learn the 'basics' from one resource for whatever you are learning. That keeps the process from turning overwhelming.

Here's what my programming journey taught me last year: you can never learn ALL of it and you shouldn't even try to do so. If you want to learn everything before starting to create something, chances are that you will ...

For a while, I've been trying to learn about stock market, why it crashes, inflation and stuffs. I would choose one such topic to study about but every time I would feel like- "there's something I don't quite understand but I don't know what it is". However, YouTube algorithm was quick enough to understand what it was since it recommended me this video one day. Turns out I needed to know how the economic system works in general.                       Let me take a moment to appreciate this video. Not only does the narrator explain well but the awesome animation makes it fun and easy to understand as well. Gives basic knowledge of how the conventional economic system works. I found this video really useful cuz the overall picture of the economy itself gave answer to some of my previously inquired questions. Also made me realize- having knowledge about economy helps to understand history better too. Today's post can be consi...
