It’s A Century!!
This is it! Finally! After so many planning and preparations, MY 100TH POST IS HERE!! YAYIEE!! I can’t believe that I actually did write 100 posts! When a friend had suggested me blogging I had randomly created an account but dismissed the idea very soon after posting just intial 2-3 posts. At that time I would have never thought that I would make a century!!
More than a year ago when I revived my lost passion and my friends bacame aware of my hidden hobby, none of us would have thought of this. Before this, the only reader of my thoughts was my Diary with the exception of my closest friends who read my poetry occasionally when i wrote. My first piece that reached beyond my friends was my Science Fiction in Science Reporter Magazine when I was 17. It felt great but that was it. My writing went back to my pages of diary. And then this blog happened last year.
Words after words and thoughts after thoughts, I gradually started sharing with the world. I thought I wasn’t good enough but support and love from fellow bloggers taught me to go with the flow! I began to see Writing in new light. There were more dimensions to it than i had known before. There were prompts and challenges which kept me hooked to writing, I couldn’t leave it and before I knew it, it was my addiction! I wrote my first love story meanwhile in response when challenged by a friend. Then I set out to explore new horizons and I’m still on the journey to it! It gave me new reasons to write.
I still write because it gives me peace.
I write to create new worlds.
I write to share a part of myself with others.
I write to tell what I can’t say.
I write to free my mind.
I write to feel.
I write to give my thoughts a place to reside.
I write to let go of things which hold me back.
I write to let others know that they are not alone.
I write because nothing else feels so right!
I don’t write because I want to be read or understood but I write to understand myself and others too!
And today I write to Celebrate! Celebrate my first ever 100th post! As this is the 100th one, then the first ever post deserves a mention too! Here’s my my first ever post- a poem: Ignorance!
As I said before a lot of planning went into before hitting the publish button, so why was that? Simple! I wanted it to be special. And making somethig special does take time. My dear friend Swathi came up with a brilliant idea when I was totally clueless about what to do. She’s an angel and drags me out of such clueless situations. (Do read her poetries and stories here). She asked me to guest post the same day when I published my 100th post. I loved the idea and grabbed it without hesitation. Being my first guest post I didn’t know what to write about. I felt blank like a kid who wanted to make an impression on the first of school but didn’t know how! Days passed (Literally!) Then I decided to write fiction, because that was what I loved to write the most. I tried a different genre (hope you will like it!) Here’s the glimpse:
She looked gorgeous in her red knee-length dress. Red was definitely her color. Red complimented her innocence. She danced so gracefully to the rhythm that anyone who saw her would fall in love with her. Amidst the music I heard someone confessing his love for her. She too was enchanted by his persona. She took no thought to say yes. It was as if her lifelong wish has come true. It broke my heart…………. Read whole story here
