The Blissful Pursuit Magazine turns 1 today! We’ve grown from 1 person to a team of 7, sponsored scholarships to 2 deserving students for intensive writing classes in collaboration with Scholastic Awards, published 4 issues amongst the pandemic (2 more coming soon), grown our audience from regional to international, received support from local partners & , & made it to our First BookFair !

All credits of inception of our online literary platform goes to my grandma! I had called her on March 3rd last year to wish her Happy Birthday (Happy Birthday Grandma!!). While speaking to her, conversation reverted to how young writers can take advantage of more free opportunities to get their voices heard around social issues and get published, & how a young deserving artist or writer could find an opportunity to advance their skills by attending creative programs. The first donation check to Blissful Pursuit that we paid forward for the SAS Scholastic scholarship 2020 came as a gift from her. Thank you for inspiring us Grandma.

My grandma has an interesting story. As an Immigrant, she came to the US for betterment of her children (my parents) 27 years ago. She left her well established position as a High School Superintendant and a teacher of Math & Sanskrit behind. At the age of 55, she was determined to not settle for herself. She went back to school to get certified as a mathematics teacher in the US, got up at 3:30am every morning to take public transportation to teach 2 hours away in a school in Philly. Like this wasn’t enough, she got her PhD at the age of 64. Now, at 80 years young (God Bless), she loves to write poems and volunteers time to teach mathematics to local kids. She still gives the strongest math student a run for their money! A strong proponent of education, she continues to inspire people around her to value education, and help others achieve their goals.

Our salute to many more women like my grandma, who are working hard to provide a better future to their children and themselves. To us, Happy 100th post, Happy 1st Birthday, Happy Women’s Month and a very Happy Birthday to my lovely Grandma.

The Blissful Pursuit

Hi everyone! I'm Anusha Bansal, and I'm the editor of The Blissful Pursuit, the online literary magazine for middle school and high school students. I created this non-profit magazine under my 501(c)(3), Blissful Us, that revolves around food insecurity and poverty.

The idea behind this magazine is to give a voice to teenagers, with their young adult words, thoughts and artwork, to pursue a better society.

Personally, I've been involved with writing for many years now, reaching a national medal in Scholastic Art and Writing Awards as well as a few Gold Keys and publications. I always found that young writer publications could be hard to find... Over the years I’ve realized that there needs to be a forum for us teenagers where our thoughts can be heard, our strengths are treasured, and we are cherished for who we are. So came The Blissful Pursuit in early January, 2020!

I invite you all to submit your art and creative writing pieces to connect this concern for our Summer 2020 issue (Food and Culture). My goal is to reach many writers from diverse backgrounds and get inspired.
