This is probably the most difficult section to write about. Isn’t it? Talk too little about myself and I don’t to justice to my work and efforts. Talk too much, and I end up looking like a pompous show-off. Torn between the two options, here’s what comes to my mind: “When in doubt, overdress”. So here I am, overdressing myself, only so you get to know the real me. Now while I write this, I have to keep reminding myself that this is supposed to be an intro of me as an author (or a blogger if you may), not a CV.<\/p>\n

I am Rashida<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The one and only person behind Rashida Blogs (formerly True To Taste). What have I done in life, a hell lot! What do I still have to do, a hell lot more! I like to think of myself as a predominantly left brained person, but with a strong affinity for listening to my right brain as well. Trying to perfect the balance between linear thinking and creativity, all my work – right from written articles, blogs to photos and videos – aim at reflecting an artful side of me, but with a strong sense of logicality.<\/p>\n

I started blogging because of three things which I like to call my passion trio (totally just made that up):<\/p>\n

My love for writing:<\/strong> Expression of thoughts matters a lot to me and words often seem like the best way to get those thoughts out there. I\u2019m also great at varied writing – sarcastic, sweet, humorous, romantic, you name it and I will write that way in that tone. But I\u2019m really bad at being boring, so don\u2019t ask me to write anything that doesn’t involve being expressive.<\/p>\n

My love for experiences: <\/strong>I won\u2019t say I have been there and done that, \u2019cause no one can really do it all, but I definitely am on my way to going everywhere and doing everything. And I guess, by the time I die, I will manage to have checked off a fair share of my bucket list. Although my list is pretty long, and I’m often tempted to run through it as fast as I can, I constantly convince myself that I will complete the list, but it will happen at the pace it is supposed to happen. Tortoise or hare, how does that even matter?<\/p>\n

My love for photography:<\/strong> Just like words, photos are an amazing way of capturing memories, emotions, and experiences into a tangible piece, so that you can live it over and over, just by looking at it. Learning photography techniques and upgrading my equipment regularly has helped me a lot on the path to being able to capture details in a way that it matters and appeals to the eye of the viewer.<\/p>\n

So I decided to combine these three into a passion trio and create something that will be my legacy. And next thing I know, I\u2019m buying a domain address for my very own blog!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While my initial project was focused mainly on food, my growth as a person made me realize that food writing is just one aspect of the unlimited possibilities I am capable of. To put it in simple terms, the various life experiences I had, like changing my job, meeting and interacting with colleagues from different backgrounds, making new friends, moving out of my family house into my own, and travelling to new cities – opened up new avenues of observational skills, travel writing, life anecdotes, contemporary issues and so much more for me. This is why I decided I shouldn’t waste my talent just writing about food when I can write about so much more.<\/p>\n

For now, I have started with penning down all my travel experiences into guides, and soon enough I plan to start writing on everyday topics like tips, advice, work, city and more.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To bring the cream and the crowds together \u2013 on one single page.<\/p>\n

Mission<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Having my own blog is a dream to do something of my own yet make sure it does something in some way for everyone else.
\nIt is a dream to be someone that the world looks up to, yet have a special someone whom I draw inspiration from.
\nIt is a dream to be famous yet stay humble and grounded.
\nAnd it is a dream to be a diva of style and a princess of taste, yet a simple girl-next-door who appreciates the little things in life.<\/p>\n

What I do<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you thought I am a rich, don’t need to work, have a lot of money kind of person – YOU ARE WRONG.<\/p>\n

I come from a rather humble background, with a dream to stand tall on my own feet and make a name for myself that cuts through the clutter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
