The Story of My Blog

It was 29^th of December, a usual monotonous day, leaving me emotionally drained, comfortably numb; when I registered myself again with BlogSpot. I had already tried blogging before at “Beyond the Bounds” and failed. In a moment of boredom when I had absolutely nothing to do, I thought to try again. At that time, I had no idea where would it take me; this; the writing thing. Fascinated by my favorite biscuit and its taste, in a jiffy I named it “Life is Krack-Jack, 50-50”.

I never ever hoped to get readers, especially not the regular ones, like you Shilpa Dutta. Neither do you miss any post, nor forget telling me what you liked in it.

A “biscuit” has brought me here. One of the blog posts, “An Untitled Real Story”, conveying the story of a girl, helped me bag my first proper internship as a Content Writer. I have to admit I wasn’t serious at all about this writing thing, but now the habit is such that I am typing today, with an injury in my right palm.

It’s hard to describe myself in words. Talkative, who can talk sense; give people useful advice or a simple girl who can go on talking nonsense for hours. Perhaps that is what I am doing right now; I have no idea where this post is heading to!! An optimist, positive about life; brave enough to face the challenges; or a pessimist who prefers to give up, sit in a corner and lament at times. I have but both the sides; the good and the bad one. The circumstances, the people around, and above all it’s we who decide which side to nurture and let grow. Like every year, I choose the positive side. The popular saying holds true for me too, I am a bundle of contradictions; a chemical reaction maintained at equilibrium by the people in my life. For this, I must thank you girls, Shivee Saurya, Sneha Sinha, Toshima Singh, Shayoni Mukherjee, Shagufta Parwin, Shikha Sinha for maintaining that balance.

Sneha Srivastva, I would suggest your name to anyone who doesn’t have access to grammarly.com. Ankur Anand you are the best co-blogger one can have. Soumyajit Paul, you are the best source of encouragement. Anshumaan Singh, I always dream to achieve the level you have; long way to go though!!

Today, I know what I expect of this blog. In the one next year, it is going to be the sole evidence of my journey I have chosen to travel with my people. This page must depict which direction I head towards and where life leads me to. What I have learnt in this one year is what has been told long before, “To write well, you need to write what you know, write what you feel”.
In the New Year, I will bring to you the stories, I have lived buddy. Cheers, and a very Happy New Year.
