It was out of sheer boredom that late on a Sunday night, after I had exhausted all my sources of browsing through social media, twitter, pinterest .. even a bit of reddit .. when it suddenly came to me - I had a blog set up - lets go to blogger.com and refresh memories. Yayy!
Then when I do come on to the site, I see that my last post was over one and a half years ago. And the posts before that even more sporadic. Only the first few months of blogging I would religiously put up a post every now and then. This from a person who thought she was going to publish an awesome book by the time she reached THIRTY. Yes, I have wanted to write a book - a love story mainly, because I realise that love is what has always, and will continue to be what has always given me the most enthusiasm.
Well, that's not even the point - not what I wanted to do and what I wanted to write. The point is I am thirty one and I have not even put down a single word. Yes, I have always had a rough story line etched out in my mind, I have also discussed it in detail with my buddy Sarat - we have thought of names for the book, and discussed the editing and the publishing.
Yet here I am, story-less and even draft-less, only shocked at my laziness, I have not even updated my blog regularly. Should I blame it on my job, my schedule, my timings, the fact that the last year had seen a lot of ups and downs in my family life, the fact that I was too busy attending a BFF's wedding, or that I was looking for the perfect pets to adopt. What should I blame it on, it cant be apathy after all! (we are all living in denial, aren't we - so why should I be the exception after all)
Friends, encourage me, I know so many of you had thought of things you wanted to do before you reached a certain age. Things you wanted to 'accomplish' besides milestones in the career you chose...or the career that chose you. I am setting myself a new deadline, thirty three - and I am announcing it publicly (well at-least to the 15/20 people who will bother to read my post :P ) So if in 2 years' time you see my name on your Amazon deal list, then give me a call and tell me how proud you are of me, otherwise give me a call and laugh at me to my face (ear).
Meanwhile Deba be working hard, in office, at life and at her new book.. and oh yes this blog too! Signing off.
