About This Site

Before I share the focus of this space, I want to share how it came to be.

Previously, I maintained both a Substack page and a Google Blogger page. However, I found that hosting nearly identical content on both platforms created technical complications. Because the detailed posts on Blogger were being flagged as duplicate content, they were not being properly indexed by search engines. To resolve this, I have withdrawn the content from the previous blog and paused my Substack schedule to consolidate my efforts here.

This site, writtenbybabu.blogspot.com, is now my primary home for writing. I chose this name to be generic and representative of my work, and it aligns with my Substack presence at writtenbybabu.substack.com.

What you will find here: This site is dedicated to the retelling of stories from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and various other Indian scriptures. This includes the Puranas, folk tales, and stories with moral themes.

A One-Man Effort: This is a singular effort. I do not have a team; I manage the research, writing, and technical maintenance myself, alongside my responsibilities outside the cyber world. While I am not committing to a rigid schedule at this time, I plan to post as frequently as possible.
