After months of dwelling over what to write about and when to start, and how and whole lot of question marks, today, I finally venture back into the blogosphere. And as always, re-entry is far from smooth.
It took me over 3 minutes to formulate that first paragraph. 180 long, nerve-wrecking, and very tense seconds! Actually, 3 minutes and a few months... It is tough getting back on the saddle. It is tough picking up from where you left off. It is tough to start all over. Often becuase one has to do it alone. More often, becuase you have to do it alone. Ten months ago, I moved from Delhi to Mumbai. Slowly, as time passed, I realized that I had given up writing. I had given up gymming. I had given up reading, playing the guitar. This didn't happen consciously. Well, all except the gymming bit :). But to be fair, I did try... Perhaps not hard enough... And I always found a zillion to blame it on. Bad Namit !
Many a times we turn our focus to one thing, just that one thing that matters more to us than anything else in the world. And just sometimes, some people, end up getting it. That's when the sane one's go "Oh Crap. What next?"
That's when you realize that the rest of your life had been taking a backseat for the longest time. But, as I realized, it actually never is too late to start, or even start over. I mean, if you actually get what you want, then could there be a better to inspiration to get everything else? It's a gift. I was blessed with that gift. And I don't plan to let it go to waste. So watch out world. I'm back. Fortunately, I hadn't completely given up guitaring, and it won't take me a lot of time to get back into shape once I start gymming. The writing has already begun, and the reading isn't too far.
So here we go... It's time to reboot...
CTRL+ALT+DEL
Yeah, yeah, I know... but good 'ol DOS used to obey that command and much reluctantly... it used to reboot...
