Subject: A Milestone Together: Reflecting on Our Journey and Shaping Our Future
Dear Readers,
As dawn breaks over the horizon, marking yet another fresh beginning, we find ourselves at a remarkable milestone—our thousandth article on "The KBS Chronicle". It feels like just yesterday when this journey began, without any set frequency or expectation, driven purely by a passion for sharing insights and fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate tapestry of global events through an Indian lens.
Our commitment has grown, just like our family of readers. What started as an occasional sharing of thoughts evolved into a daily rendezvous at 4 AM IST, where we connected over the latest happenings, guided by the principle of not just reporting but analyzing, providing context, and adding a nuanced perspective that respects our rich heritage and the diverse viewpoints within our community.
I am deeply moved by your engagement and the loyalty you've shown. It is your eagerness for immediate updates and in-depth analysis that has fueled this endeavor, pushing me to meet the rigorous demands of daily publishing. However, I am equally aware that for some, the pace of our content delivery may seem overwhelming.
This is not a commercial venture; every word penned down is a token of our shared quest for knowledge and improvement, free for every curious mind. Yet, even in non-commercial pursuits, balance is key—between the creator's drive and the reader's capacity to engage.
As we stand at this crossroad, I turn to you, my fellow sojourners in this intellectual odyssey. Your feedback is invaluable as we contemplate the path ahead. Should we continue at our current pace, making articles available on our substack website for those who seek them out without a daily or a real-time email prompt? Or should we consider a weekly digest, a curated newsletter sent via email every Friday evening IST, summarizing the week's publications with direct links to articles that you may choose to explore at your leisure?
This newsletter is yours as much as it is mine. It is a canvas where our thoughts, our concerns, and our dreams for a better understanding of the world find expression. How we move forward from this milestone is a decision I wish us to make together. Please share your thoughts, either by replying to this email or by leaving a comment on the website. Each voice matters, as it has always been in our shared journey.
Thank you for being a part of "The KBS Chronicle". Here's to a thousand articles, and many more to come, each one a step towards greater understanding and harmony.
With deepest gratitude and respect,
KBS Sidhu
