Reviving my blog…
In last three days, three different people have asked about my blog… What was its address? Why am I not writing these days? They all told me that my blog had always been a wonderful read, and they look forward to see more of it. So naturally, I owe an answer and the onus to revive my blog…
The few months have been hectic and difficult… adjusting in India had been difficult… more number of working hours, travel time of more than a couple of hours, two kids who deserve all my time, a burning ambition… all have taken a toll. All these worries were not very much present in Cairo… and therefore I was a more carefree person… and could pursue this blog with a penchant.
Back in India… things changed. And therefore my blog became more and more conspicuous by its lack of activity than the other way round.
However… by now my blog had became a habit… an act of catharsis… by which I could spell out my inner emotions… could say things which did not find a vent… and the lack of activity had its price…
There were a lot of times, when I wanted to say something… when I rode a bus… when I saw people fighting… when I saw a cobbler talking about postpaid and prepaid mobile connection… there were a lot of impressions that went unexpressed… I cannot express them now…. Because somewhere I stopped observing them in a way, I should have…
Did I travel… well yes and no… I went to a few places in Uttaranchal… nothing very great… I went to a place called Chunar, by the banks of river Ganges… the entire experience was magical… going to Chunar… seeing a British cemetery… going to Shakteshgad… all these were far flung places in India. I needed to write about them all… but just couldn’t.
A couple of days ago, I went with my son for a jungle hike… it was again a marvelous experience… he saw a few birds, animals and plants for the first time in life…. I need to write about that…
In short I need to write about a lot of things… I need to revive my blog… and that I will.
