Why Anicca?

by on

Welcome to this little space on the blogosphere that I am going to call home from today!

Some of you may know me as DD from Bookish Indulgences Book Blog and for most of you I am a stranger. So, let me tell you a bit about myself before I tell you about this blog.



My name is Debdatta Dasgupta, which is quite a mouthful, I know! So, I usually go by DD. I have been blogging exclusively about books since 2012, so no longer a greenie here. Aside, from blogging (which I think is a full time engagement) I also work as a Digital Publicist for Books and as a Virtual Assistant to Authors. I am also studying Psychology at the moment. So, you can say that my life is all about reading, studying and promoting books. But believe it or not, I have other hobbies and interests too. I love food (am a Bong so it’s kinda in my DNA), I love to travel and I love to dabble in the Occult.

I have wanted to branch out and blog about my other interests, but I just did not have the confidence. I still do not, but I decided to throw caution to the wind and jump in anyway. I hope to be able to share my varied interests with you all and improve my language skills at the same time. And that is where I need YOUR help – feel free to unleash your inner grammar nazi every time you read one of MY posts.

Now on to the name of the blog – Anicca, stands for impermanence in Pali. It is one of the three basic characteristics of existence in Buddhism. I love the sound of the word as well as what it stands for. Unless and until one realizes the fact that everything in our lives are ‘impermanent’ and prepare ourselves for it, we can never improve upon our quality of life. But choosing Anicca as the name of my blog felt right since everything is prone to change – including my interests and my view of life.

I hope that this helps you get a glimpse of the person I am for now, and that we will get to know each other through posts and comments on this blog in the coming days.

Please do follow me on social media not only to get blog updates but to continue supporting and encouraging me as I take on this new journey. Also, I am feeling kind of lonely at all these accounts at the moment!





QOTD: Do you remember what your initial goal/purpose was when you started your blog?




I am taking my blog to the next level with Blogchatter’s #MyFriendAlexa.

    Yes. I started my blog because I just wanted to write and wanted people to read me as well. I haven't ever looked for too many goody points but I do enjoy a good discussion about things and connecting to people and letting them know my side of the story of life. So I guess blogging fitted well in all the parameters. Anicca is perfect because permanence is a myth. So you sum life well with your blog. Good luck!

      Hey Pooja!
      I was too when I came across the 3 aspects of existence in Buddhism. But, when I think about it, change is something we are all mostly accustomed to in life, aren't we?

    I like the ring of the name in my ears. And yes, I do remember why I started blogging. It was to went off my emotions and insecurities. But it has completely transformed now and now I want to bring in content to the fore that is supportive of mothers and women in general.

    Beautiful explanation of Annica - guess everything in the world is 'impermanent'- so perfectly apt!

    When I first read your blog name, I thought it was very close to the Tamil word, "anithham", which also means impermanence.. It's great to know that I've associated it right..

    Wish your new home is filled with lots of love, visit, like, comments and share..

    All the best for your new blog. Liked the name and explanation for it. The initial goal of my blog was to just write and vent on things in general. Slowly, it evolved into a medium where I give wings to my storytelling skills.
