Lots of people have been telling me to write my own blog…. I had nothing against it…. But somehow didn’t take it very seriously. I always had a habit of having a one to one conversation in letters and mails where I almost imagined the other person to be in front of me. There were some more things that were holding me back, I was a little uncomfortable about expressing myself to a general audience who doesn’t know me and whom I don’t know. And also this whole hype that has been attached to blogging was something that put me off big time….!!
I must admit, for sometime now I have been missing my old habit of writing my random thoughts in a small notebook…. Even if it was a small note written in 5 minutes it was a very personal time with my thoughts and I enjoyed that harmony within myself. Probably that was another reason for not writing a blog… as that personal thought in the notebook would become a public thing in a blog. But I guess now I have reached a stage where I would want to have different perspectives on my thoughts, on work and a general sharing of our mind space…..
Everyone has things in their head running all day… whether they are mundane thoughts of everyday life or thoughts on socio political issues…. or just plain simple reaction to something that has occurred in their life moments ago…… some times conscious and sometimes unconscious thoughts…. The times are changing and the changes are confusing. Well I have always wanted to express and question….question myself and others….. Many times I wanted to share a small moment or expression, conscious or unconscious ….sometimes beautiful and simple, what everyday people see and sometimes complicated but meaningful which needs to be analyzed. So when ambika suddenly called me a couple of days back and said ‘post a blog!’ something clicked and I said yes!!!! There have been loads of things that have been keeping my mind occupied….and therefore, I thought I will just go with the flow, travel and enjoy with the thoughts that wander….
