Finally... the first one!!!
Yup, finally i sat down to blog!! But wat?? No idea yet. I remember my blogging inspiration ‘Amith’ telling me "don’t think too much... Jus sit down n write whatever comes to
It was the same me 1 year back who didn’t know the meaning of 'blog' and when Saurabh said he reads blog everyday in office to kill time, i innocently asked -blog?? wats dat? i don even know such a thing, hw can i implement this idea to kill time in office?? Of course at that time every1 was jobless in office.. Just joined n no work... Later the same Saurabh became the ‘sab se busiest person’ in office while i still remain jobless!! N dats hw i started reading blogs.. Thanks to Amit he gave me
a few good pages to read!! Even then, our company doesn’t allow me to indulge in the true fun of blogging, as it doesn’t allow me to put comments!! But ofcos yaar, its paying u 25k every month, so no issues i can sacrifice tat much!!
N there is yet another guy whose blogs i read.. Name confidential: cos my roomie has a hi-fi crush on him n she recommended... :) His blogs start 4m the year 2006, i.e., i have around 40+ blogs to read!! Dats a good pastime indeed..
But then sometimes i wonder wats the point?? Am reading some
philosophy/senti/humour some unknown guy wrote, abt his life, his views... will the same thing happen wit my blogs? Y shud ppl b interested in reading some crap which i have in my mind!! Neither do i know gr8 things to impart knowledge nor I have amazing writing skills. Bt i don’t want my writing habit to die off. Dats the only reason am starting to blog.. I remember hw much i enjoyed writing my personal diary every nite b4 going to sleep. I had proudly expressed that in my resume as a hobby!! N the interviewer asked me a hell lot of questions reg this hobby of mine n haan, it really helped me to crack my first interview in life!! See life is so easy, got a job as simple as dat!! ;) He had even recommended "The Diary of Anne Frank" and was sure i ll love reading it, but till now I haven had a chance to read it.
Its another weekend and am idling at home.. 30 days aft the New Year began, still am not working on my resolution much!! I decided I will start reading, after I attended a training on “Improving Communication Skills.” It seems all great ppl who succeed in life got all their knowledge thru reading!! I tried a hand at the Harvard business, Mckinsey Quarter n stuff.. Obviously I didn’t get a word out of them!! ;( The other recommendations by the trainer were very expensive, so I still remain illiterate about how great ppl were made!! Am optimistic thou, its not late, 11 months to go, I can even start now.. Extrapolating my life, where I see myself as one of the topmost officers in a leading company, I ought to do so. Unfortunately, only am able to extrapolate my life this much...Watever!!! Ending my first blog with a dream/hallucination/fantasy!! As my key chain says – Aim for the moon, even if u miss, you’ll land among the starts!! Scientifically incorrect thou!! ;)

ReplyDelete- Sowmya
@ All : Thank you so much.. Really an encouragement..
ReplyDelete@ Anon : i still didn get the diary!! :(
Gr8 Ranjitha! Phew! I went through all your musings and found your efforts quite good. You should continue writing forever. At least please do not stop as abruptly as I did. Mine was a violent reaction to a chain of unpleasant events. Yours in a chain of events, both pleasant and sad.
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me I wish I could also reverse that time machine and go back to hostel. The best memories I have are of college mates, the worst memories I shall ever have are those of my working mates...i hate pretentious peeps (yours seems to be a reverse case and there seem to be genuine friends amongst yours...). My college batch still has a very strong bonding and we have our own space on the net.
When I was a student I used to be surprised about the views of those elder to me. Now when I am an elder I am equally surprised about the views of those who are of my 'then' age. I think it is called 'amnesia'? convenient term. we shall all grow old as time passes and then one day we might look back at all that we penned and smile and laugh, sometimes in wonderment, sometimes in shyness and sometimes in humour.
i used to pen my thoughts. I was a great diary writer. My wife was my greatest fan since she used to dig out all my secrets and laugh and tease. Till one day in a reactive mode I destroyed all my diaries when she wasn't at home. But then...i regret my actions now. They were good stories to read, good experiences to reminiscent. Hope you continue to record every event in your life, every happiness and achievement and life's turns and twists so that one day you might have a great treasure to fall back on.
There is something going on in the lawns below: i believe it is parents day or mothers day or childrens day or fathers day or our own day. dunno what.
One day you and your family might take great pleasure and pride in sitting there in the lawns through one such event sharing space, blood and breath with mosquitos but oblivious to all except what your child is doing on stage. i went through all that innumerable times and captured every rapturous moment of my daughter and son shining like super stars on stage.
Phew! Long one' this one but it is natural of me to be commited to non-verbal diarrhoea!
Bye! and hey! U r a late night bird aren't you?(posting at 4:29 AM? Hah!).Kinky are those exposed to the fun of the net. I too am one such, if u don't mind!
Maybe out of place here but...A line from the book I recommended you to buy: 'You Can Heal Yourself' by Louise L. Hay:
" I Find That Resentment, Criticism, Guilt and Fear Cause Most Problems Than Anything Else "
Cheers!
