I have been wanting to write for as long as i can remember.
It all started about 12 years back, when writing meant scribbling details of my day in a closely guarded diary. A diary that would change with each academic session and add to my woes of hiding yet another one from my mother. Few years down the line i figured i had been highly unsuccessful at keeping my big secret a secret and was a hundred per cent sure my mother had read some if not all of them! Thankfully for me, she never brought it up. And neither did I!
Those diaries are a treasure. Till date. My eyes well up when i read my take on my first crush, my first "love", my first kiss and so much more! I wish i hadn't given up on them! I wish i had a record for every day of my life which i could read and re-read when i was 60.
The next thought was to write a book! Pacts with multiple aspiring writer friends have not yielded any results so far and i wonder when they will! Its a dream nonetheless which i continue to hold on to and hopefully will have something to show for in the next 10 years (i'm a realist you see!)
Writing took a new turn when i got introduced to blogs about 6-7 years back. I was scared of who might read what i wrote and thus only a handful of people knew i had a blog. I wasn't sure what to write about.. was it okay to share your feelings in a blog post? Did a blog need a theme? Plagued with these questions and the fact that i was getting uncomfortable putting my life out there for everyone to read, i stopped posting there as well.
So then how am i here?
Coz like i said.. I really wanted to write! And a lot has changed in these 7 years! For one, i've grown up! I'm a lot more accepting of who i am and don't care to be judged anymore. I know now that i can't have a theme.. coz i'm equally passionate about love, travel, food, politics, sports and and a lot more! I may or may not realize what my true passion is but till such time i will pursue, whole heartedly, each of those things and everything else that interests me on the way! Puruse them and write about them!
So here we are! This blog is going to be about me! About all things that interest me, all things that i might have an opinion on, all things that i might want to share and some things that i might not want to share.
I believe its going to be a fun journey, this new one! And i would love for you to join me. Welcome aboard!
