About Me
Hello!
My name is Deepungsu Pandit, and I am a travel enthusiast who loves to write. Or a writer who loves to travel. I have a lot of experience in both, as well as with thinking, which is how The Thinking Me was born.
This is not your generic travel blog. This is a place where I write about things that move me, make me sad, make me happy, delight me, disgust me, or depress me. Perhaps even make me cry.
I started off as a writer years ago, added travel to my hobbies and recently upgraded from a phone camera to a DSLR. Hopefully, there is plenty for you to explore on The Thinking Me and you'll come back here again and again.
Happy reading!
How It Started
I started writing during my school days. While the hundreds and hundreds of meaningless verses I poured my heart into have been lost in the tides of time, the satisfaction I got from penning words together stayed with me. It led me to Distinctiveness - Travel and Lifestyle Blog, my first blog.
Over the years, I forayed into content writing, first diverging into sports and then completely immersing myself in football writing. I have written close to 10,000 articles for Deepungsu Pandit | 9725 Posts | Sportskeeda.
I currently write exclusively about Manchester United for Deepungsu Pandit, Author at Man United News And Transfer News | The Peoples Person.
However, I also wanted to have a place where I could write for myself, about myself, without the pressures of timelines. And I also wanted more freedom than my previous blog provided.
This was where The Thinking Me was born.
How It's Going
After months of contemplating and planning, I finally decided to take a leap of faith in September 2024. The Thinking Me came into existence.
For the name, I did a lot of research and struggled to find something suitable. I wanted something that reflected my persona, someone who was more comfortable with the pen than with the microphone.
I realised that over the years, I had developed into someone who thought more than he spoke and then wrote less than he thought. Voila! The Thinking Me!
For now, this blog covers my exploits, my interests and my travel experiences. One day, I hope to make it a full-fledged travel blog, curated to the needs of those immersed in wanderlust.
I want people to find happiness in my words. I want them to discover peace and hope. And perhaps, most importantly, I want my pieces to inspire them to become better human beings.
What will you find here?
Hopefully, a little bit of everything!
✈️Stories from places I've visited — and occasionally the things that happened along the way.
📝Thoughts, memories, observations and the occasional attempt to make sense of getting older.
⚽Perhaps a little shot of Manchester United as well! Because apparently I couldn't have a blog without talking about United!
💭 Everything else: The things that don't fit neatly into a category — which is probably where some of the most interesting stuff lives.

Things you might not know about me
I've been writing for years, although I still occasionally wonder whether I know what I'm doing.
I love travelling, but I don't necessarily love planning travel.
Bhutan has a rather special place in my story.
I support Manchester United, which has occasionally tested my patience. I am crazy about Lionel Messi and Argentina.
I prefer a pen and keyboard to a microphone.
I can spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about a blog title.
I believe some journeys are more memorable because of what happened between the destinations.
I like stories more than statistics.
I have a soft spot for memories.
I'm still figuring out what The Thinking Me will eventually become.
So, that's me.
I don't have a grand five-year plan for this little corner of the internet. I just want to keep writing, keep travelling, keep thinking and, hopefully, occasionally make someone laugh, think or see something a little differently.
If you've made it this far, you might as well have a look around.
