A new beginning...


Writing blog has been in my mind for a long time. But being a private person that I am, the thought was more nerve-wracking rather than comforting. It took me sometime to accept the fact that people will read what I post here. The downside of being private is more than usual you won’t find an outlet to your inner thoughts and opinions. So I had to make my decision. Although I have tried my hand at keeping a diary, I couldn’t be regular. Hence, if I open a blog of my own, where I am committed to people who visit and read my posts, I would be able to maintain the frequency. At least that’s the hope.
                       I aim not only at being frequent and this is not just a space for my emotional outbursts. This would be a place to express my opinions with a goal of improving my writing. Through this blog I am about to test myself whether will I ever be able to reach the same mastery, that I have over my mother tongue, over the language which is a gift of our “colonial masters”. I have heard from many, being a bilingual is not an easy task.
                    So, this is my venture, to pen down everything that brings joy and bliss as well as a sense of emptiness and loss of meaning of life that we all share at one point or another in our own individual lives. I hope to give them equal space in this experiment of mine.

         Basically, we are all human beings presented with similar things, but the experience of it makes the difference. And this blog comprises of my experiences and encounters with the world around me.
