I believe and I have seen that Change is the only constant and we humans need to adapt to those changes. The world is constantly changing and keeping people informed and updated about the happenings in the simplest way possible is my goal; Afterall we live in a world where the attention span of an adult human is merely 8 seconds. If someone chooses to read an article beyond 8 seconds it sure is an achievement meaning the article has quality. I want to be that person. I want to produce quality and informative content to the reader, keep them engaged.
