What brought me here!




It is a pretty weird thing that in today's world where we don't even remember a thing someone told us yesterday, there are some things that make a lasting impression, some things affect us more than we could imagine.

 
Now I am an outgoing person, at least that’s what I think I am. I say I think, because we don’t know ourselves completely, we simply claim that we do. How can we anyway? There are so many shades still hidden, so many areas still unexplored. I am only 21 and I have a lot more to learn, about my own self.

I have many friends. Wow! It sounds good to hear. Not many of them have a Blog. Where’s the time they may say? I thought that too. To write something daily, to write something and let others read it, with a constant fear of not revealing too much. My biggest fear of writing is this same thing. What if people get to know a lot? But now I know this fear should not stop me from doing what I always wished to do. To write. To write a lot. But this realization did not come over night.

 

A lot of factors contributed. Many pushes, time and again. We are a weird group of people. We always seek for approval from others. I don’t really understand why, but its there. But sometimes this approval has to take a back seat, and we simply know we should go for it. But when did I know it? Only recently actually.

 

I have had many Professors, having different styles of teaching, different ideologies. Only a few stand out though. And when one of them asked me what have I really done in life till date, do I have an opinion of my own, an opinion on anything and everything. It triggered the thought process; it made an impression, and allowed the approval to take a back seat.

When you have an opinion, why keep it to yourselves? Why not vent it out. Why not let others know. And what if they tend to disagree, that’s absolutely cool. No two beings are the same. Haa!

 

I may not be a brilliant writer, but I know this is what I like doing. When the whole concept of Blogs is for everyone, that too for free, let me try it too.

And about no time! Haha! That’s just an excuse.
