In the past, I have discussed some of the practical challenges that I face while discussing songs in the blog on a regular basis. Some of the obvious challenges that one faces are official job, or personal works. For instance, if I am on journey or meetings or any other reasons that does not allow me to devote as much time on the blog then my output for those days become low.
