Becoming: real stories and practical guides about change

Want straightforward reads about change? The "becoming" tag collects short, useful pieces that show how people shift careers, tastes, places, and ideas. You'll find real examples — a writer winning a prize, a person adjusting to life in Canada, quick kitchen tricks, and everyday cultural moments that shape who we are.

Each post under this tag is practical. Expect tips, plain observations, and short personal accounts you can use right away. If you’re thinking about moving, learning to cook, trying a new hobby, or just wondering how others adapt, this page points you to quick, relevant reads.

What you’ll find here

Short how-tos and quick recipes: fast Indian breakfasts and easy bachelor meals that help you eat better without stress. Travel and migration snapshots: honest takes on life in Canada, whether Indians in America miss home, and what people from Uttar Pradesh take pride in. Culture and opinion pieces: plain talk on politics, beer habits, and why some everyday situations become big life lessons.

School and career help appears too. There’s a clear guide to the IB extended essay that breaks down the 4,000-word task into manageable steps. That post is useful if you need a simple plan: pick a topic, build a timeline, and keep your references tidy. No fluff — just do-able steps.

How to use this tag

Skim the titles to find what fits your stage of change. Want food ideas? Start with quick breakfast or cooking-for-friends posts. Thinking of moving? Read the personal stories about living abroad. Need a short opinion piece or social take? Browse the culture and politics posts for perspectives that spark thought or debate.

If you like hands-on tips, look for posts that offer lists, step-by-step advice, or meal ideas you can try tonight. If you want perspective, read the personal essays — they’re short, honest, and often surprising. Many posts include clear suggestions you can test right away, like a simple breakfast recipe or a practical way to approach a school project.

We keep things readable and immediate. No long theory, no heavy jargon. Each story or guide aims to help you make a small change now — cook a new dish, plan a move, or finish an essay. That’s the point of "becoming": turning small steps into something new.
