Why I started blogging
I'm sure it's not all that often that when one is nicknamed, one actually fits it PERFECTLY. For example- I have this friend named Max, who in NO WAY WHATSOEVER lives life to the max, or works to the max, or sleeps to the max even! Sheesh! *serious* So, it's no wonder that when my friends named me "Rolling stone", I was shocked(sound effects please)- and it was not cos I was NOT a Rolling Stones' fan. It was out of realization- realization of how true my friends were! *serious*
What else would you call a person who has already made 8 shifts in the past 12 months, and is on the verge of a 9th? Since last May, I've moved from 1) Calicut to home, 2) home to Chennai, 3) Chennai to home, 4) home to Pune, 5) Pune to Bombay, 6) Bombay to home, 7) home to Bangalore, 8) Bangalore to home. Now I'm all set to move to God knows where! Back to the name now. One good thing about the name is- "Rolling Stone" does sound a lot more cool than "wanderer", or "nomad", or "gypsy"! :P Then again, this just wasn't enough to make me happy!:| And what was the reason for that? Because when I asked myself as to what I had- after a year of moving from one place to another- that would help me to remember the wonderful times I had at all those places, the only answer I had was: my memories. And I know how reliable my memory is- relying on it almost helped me make my 4 year course a 5 year struggle! Thus, I realised I had a problem to be solved: How would I henceforth make sure that I would have my experiences with me forever, so I could cherish or treasure(or whatever) them, without relying on my memory too much? (I do maintain a personal daily diary, but let's not play spoilsport here, shall we?!) Who knows? I might end up in your town next, and it might be an experience that we all share together!
With a problem of such proportions running through my head, I was under heavy mental stress. And I was sure that this heavy stress working through mental torture, agony, etc would result in mental depletion. Thus I had to work quickly to figure out a solution to the problem at hand. And I did, easily identifying the solution to be blogging! The answer to all my problems(I know there's only ONE problem, wise guy!)- my panacea! Hence, this new chapter in my life begins. With blogging, I've found a way to immoralise my experiences, and more importantly- share them with you(YOU LUCKY GUYS!:D). New experiences, new blogs, new victims!
From this point of time, I will make it a point to share all of my WONDERFUL experiences with you. Please do have the patience to read through my blogs as each and every blog of mine will be the outcome of months of planning, weeks of typing, and days of editing. I personally assure you of a satisfaction that u have never felt before from reading a blog(JUST ABOUT the way you feel now:D) My sincere advice to all of you would be: GET BACK TO WORK, you sick jobless people!
Happy blogging!
ALL the views as stated by me MIGHT be a little exaggerated. This is no rule, and so don't take things for granted. The reason for the exaggeration is that I choose to do so, and yes- I am jobless enough! And no, I'm not mentally depleted. Comments are welcome.
