Conquering the blogging world, entered the podcasting world recently and now it’s time to experiment with something new, the success of which relies on your feedback. Welcome to the first edition of my newsletter, The Weekly Zazz.
There is definitely some pressure when it comes to creating a newsletter and I’m definitely feeling it now. Hopefully what I’ve planned with the content delivers some value to you and your time is worth it.
Since its a Sunday, shall we start with everyone’s favorite series, for which I’ve received some amazing feedback and hope that continues in the future as well?
Here’s the twenty-fourth edition of my weekly series, The Last 7 Days.
What’s it about?
It’s a weekly series where I talk about what I read, what I listened to, and what I saw in the last seven days.
Since the number 24 is so special to me and since this is the twenty-fourth edition of ‘The Last 7 Days’, I decided to give this week’s edition a twist and make it different than the usual.
In this edition, instead of sharing my list of the last 7 days, what I’ll be doing is sharing those things that I regularly consume in the format of text, audio, and video, instead of the selected content I share every week.
What To Read:
Sharing the list of sites/ companies whose content I regularly read
For all news and updates about business and entrepreneurship, my go-to accounts are Business Insider, YourStory, Inc42 Media, and Bloomberg.
For all pop-culture news and updates, I follow Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, and IMDb.
To know what’s trending in the tech world, TechCrunch, Mashable, and Engadget are the go-to accounts.
VICE Media requires a special pointer altogether – their content, at times, is too interesting to read and I’ve shared their content quite often too. As they define themselves, the definitive guide to enlightening information.
Honorary mentions to Harvard Business Review, Medium.com and LinkedIn where you get to read a lot of interesting content.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. But those reactions mean you’ve given in to the situation and you’re not in control anymore. When you’re able to hold your cool and analyze the situation before reacting means you’ve evolved and now your response will be better than before, you’ll be in control and technically, no situation would have risen.
Before I end this newsletter, it doesn’t take much of your time or your efforts, but I’d love to hear your feedback. What did you think? What can I add? What felt too much?
I know I’m asking too much, but if you feel someone else would love this newsletter as well, please forward it ahead. Thank you very much!
