Something within, urges me to write today. Something that I can’t interpret for once because it is a churn of feelings, leaving me satisfied with every passing moment. It’s becoming difficult for me to bring out that contentment in my words, all the more the reason for a contradiction between my feeling and my urge to display the same in my writings somehow.
I have an exam tomorrow. Had one this morning too. And shall continue to sit for these damn sessions my whole life it seems! There is however no trace of urgency to study for the damn thingi for tomorrow. It is but a subject sitting there, eating up a date on a calendar by listing in the schedule and wasting the valuable hours of my life having to mug up things that were simple enough to form only one chapter of another subject.
So, instead of resting my eminent hours on this pseudo subject I wish to revive my work-my Blog. This is something I’ am made for, and which is made for me in turn-Writing. As I have always been. Started sometime in my ninth or 10th standard, I discovered(to my self-for the ease of critics! ) this concept called a B L O G. I still remember vividly, describing my discovery to some of my close friends then, describing in all wisdom my great utilization of the time I sat in front of the new technology called-The Internet. So BLOGGING was a concept I chanced upon, and that was the time the word was not known to be what it is today. This decade has seen, unlike the one that preceded it, a new version of blogging-extending widely in its reach and scope. The new variant of font, size, colour, templates and grandeur that exits now was not the thing of the past. There sure were some efforts at creating a user friendly space for the viewer, but that was it. Scripting was tough for non- engineers. Pictures took ages to upload and hence making the entire process very time consuming. Here, I must confess, that amidst these difficulties I started blogging for I knew that this was the future of free sharing of experiences and opinions, to a larger audience.
While I pursued my interest I was also active on a lot of forums, and I’am a proud owner of two publications (my poems) in a forums (The name of which skips me!!) first Online E-Book called-‘Celebrating Creativity’. My poems featured along with some great works of people from all across the globe-mostly Indians, settled across cultures, ethnicities and geographies. What a feeling it was when I first saw the online version of the e-Book and impulsively called up my best friend to share my happiness, there after running to my Dadi and hugging her, followed by dragging her by the arm to the study to have a look at my achievement. What a marvel! OHk…In case you are wondering at my humbleness, I was extremely happy then, and every time I think of it-I leave a happier person!
That followed long long long hours of sitting glued up to the net, searching online poetry competitions, online magazines and the like, until to my huge disappointment finding none which were free of costs. All required some sort of PayPal facility, something I was not eligible for then. This, entwined with the heavy load of my Engineering subjects led me to fade away from one of the most cherished words of my then literary side-blog. Gradually as my grades sore high and I gained interest in my IT subjects, I was left with no time to sit and write something substantial for the world to read. I did not, however leave writing completely. For it was and is the very essence of ME being ME! Then followed a series of events with my PC crashing twice in a row, exams which never seemed to end, emotions a laggard adolescent is supposed to live with, FRIENDZ and the commencement of my MBA preparation all spread through period of about a year and two left me tired and exhausted and interested in a lot of other new things that my conscious mind forgot all about me blogging, including my user ID and password!! For as they say that all good things come to an end- for me the end was not to come so soon. There were and are good things remaining-says my heart and soul. So, as I joined SIMS, and saw the world blogging to glory, a sense of shame engulfed me as to why-why on this Earth did I ever cede to blog??!! Also it reiterated my self-belief which was constructed when I was still in school that BLOG’s are the future of knowledge sharing. This feeling of my envisioning a thing which would happen and had happened in the future did somehow reduce the propensity of shame and instead moved me to revive my LOST AND FOUND BLOG. My deep felt gratitude to GOOGLE, which has come up with such a beautiful integration of all structures and processes via technology driven innovation, that I found a way to my old blog again. Also, at this ‘thank you’ moment I wish to thank all those people who egged on for me to revive my blog. They all know who they are and I thank them from the core of my writing heart!
Right then, this post, marks the new life of my-Keep Life Simple!
Leaving a glad ME :)
