BLOGGING




This word defined my life, defined the person I am today – a person I always wanted to be.

Just like a caterpillar in the cocoon, I too was wrapped up in the comfort of my domestic life as a homemaker. There was turmoil deep within my heart, which I always ignored till a point that it was bursting out as frustration. Life was good, but lacked excitement or that bit of extra ‘oomph’!

When a friend casually asked me the purpose of my life – the feeling buried in my heart started to make more noise, it wanted to break free. I thought...”this is it! This was THE message from the universe I was waiting for. It’s now or never.” If my blogs were not well received, I can stop. That’s what I thought. But, then again, why would I? Writing was what I was born for!



Blogging has liberated me. I finally grew wings, broke the shell of the cocoon, became a beautiful butterfly and took flight. A decision I never regret. Today, I am more confident as a person. I am ready for challenges, and I have creative satisfaction. More than anything else, I have some immensely talented and amazing friends who are also great human beings.
