Welcome to Looking Inwards: My New Newsletter on Substack
Migrating my Friday Newsletter "What's On My Mind" to Substack. Looking Inwards is a behind-the-scenes.
Hi,
Welcome to Looking Inwards.
You may have found me on Substack or saw my social media message about starting the Looking Inwards publication. Or you were an existing subscriber to my “What’s On My Mind” Friday letter and decided to read this post after getting the Looking Inwards newsletter (instead).
Thank you for being here with me.
I'm Priyanka Gupta. I’m a former investment banker turned itinerant writer. On my blog On My Canvas, I write about alternative ways of living and exploring.
My aim is to live by asking why rather than blindly following others. And while I’m out challenging the norms, or, looking at things more with curiosity rather than habit and tradition, I share and write what I experience, learn, and read.
Personal growth ideas, cruising through the choppy waters of our emotional selves, writing tips, cultural biases, meditations from individual books, and travel narratives — you will find them all on my blog.
I had started my weekly newsletter in pretty early days of the blog. Over the years, the newsletter evolved from a few quotes and questions. It is now a narrative with my newest writings, readings, useful videos and audios from the web, pictures, and travel updates and tips.
I have enjoyed sending the newsletters from my blog. But with time, ideas grow and the way of expressing them evolves as well. My perspective on the newsletter has changed too.
I’m starting Looking Inwards on Substack because I have always wanted an independent publication for newsletters. I still talk about growth, travel, and offbeat ideas. But now the letter is a standalone entity which wouldn’t be affected if I didn’t publish on the blog that week or I may share relevant stories I wrote elsewhere.
The newsletter is a behind-the-scenes, if we may call it so. The writings I edit for hours and hours end up on the blog or on different platforms on the internet. But in the newsletters you will find what I read, listen, or think while getting at the final words. And this process is as important as the result (if not more).
You can read more about Looking Inwards here.
I’m excited to give this newsletter its own platform and space it deserves. And I’m happy you have decided to come along on the journey.
I will send the newsletter once every week.
