The Beginning

I had been toying with the idea of starting my blog since quite a while to document my random musings, to bestow life to those evanescent thoughts that flit through my head all day and partially (I admit with utmost humility :-)  ) because I had been previously conferred with generous praise about my writing on numerous occasions which naturally kindled the spark. However, there is an inherent inertia that needs to be overcome to plunge from the realm of thought into the sea of action.

How many times have you thought about doing something but never actually got down to doing it? Whether it’s pursuing a forgotten hobby, reconnecting with a distant friend or trying out that new workout regime, our mind has a tendency to give us daily feeds that, if actually implemented, would perhaps present us with a more fulfilling experience of going about our mundane daily routines. BUT...here's the catch! We only go as far as thinking. Some of the more determined souls might go as far as overcoming that initial inertia and actually kick start with a bang. But there are only those select few who can actually put thought into practice and weave it into their daily routines. 

It is my firm belief that every individual in existence inherently possesses the potential to live the life of their dreams every single day. Then why is it that only a few of us actually  get to live that 'dream life'? A simple answer to this seemingly deep question could be that those few people whom the world terms as 'successful individuals' not only take the leap of faith to pursue and act what they think, but they also integrate it as part of their lives so that it's no longer an effort and comes to them naturally. It is this sustenance I believe, that differentiates the ideator from the innovator.

Picking the thread where I began, the initial inertia inhibited my blog writing activity for over a month in the guise of a never ending wait for a defining moment in the hope that inspiration would strike like a bolt of lightening and ignite this online space, capturing the fancy of my readers. But alas! Much to my building restlessness, that moment remained elusive. I ended up losing out on a whole month's worth of precious thoughts, only waiting for that perfect one! A lost opportunity in the beginning of my work week and then a simple conversation with a well-wisher finally put things into perspective.

My moment of realization had come. It struck me like a bolt of lightning! There's no perfect moment. The only perfect moment is now- when you have hold of that thread of thought that flitted through your head. Grab it and pen it down before it leaves you just as fast as it came. And just like that, caught up in my whirlwind of inspiration, I finally started this blog!

In my humble attempt to articulate my feelings, observations and perceptions of the world around me, I embark upon this fascinating voyage in the hope that my journey as a blogger will grow with my readers.
