Too late to add an 'about me' column, you say? Well, I say, its never too late and better late than never..:-)
I have been thinking of what I can write here. I am not very good at writing or talking about myself. This is the very question that I dread at the job interviews. When it comes to the blogosphere, every point that one voice in my head comes up with is dismissed by the other as either insignificant or seemingly vain. Having said that, the posts that I write do come from my heart (or head) and pretty much, I think, showcases an image of me which I do believe is a true image.
So, what is that you might like to know about me? I am your average girl who is trying to do justice to all the designations life has bestowed on her, namely, being a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother and above all, a good person in herself. I do like to give my best in whatever I do although I might crib and whine along the way. I have come a long way from being a total introvert in my childhood to discarding the many layers of inhibitions and fears. A late-bloomer in life, I am still trying to discover myself. I wish to get to a point someday where I no longer worry about what others think of me and refrain from trying too hard to make a good impression. I have varied interests ranging from listening to old Hindi film songs, to singing ( have had a formal training in both Carnatic and Hindustani forms of music), to reading fiction-novels, to watching movies, to travelling and the latest being writing.
My posts do not follow a particular theme or topic, so I cannot really classify my blog as a pure mommy blog or that which addresses social issues or as a complete humour blog, but it sure has all of these elements in it in varying proportions. I write to unleash my thoughts on anything that is currently on my mind, something I feel strongly about and to create a memoir of sorts for my son's childhood that is replete with his antics, sweet babbling, small and big feats and milestones achieved. I do enjoy writing and I hope that you, as a reader are able to feel in the same vein as I write.
An acknowledgement that I am being read and appreciated is best conveyed through a comment, however small it is. If you do not agree with what I say, it is even more reason to let me know :-) So, please do not hesitate to drop in a line of what you think.
A word of disclaimer: What I write here is completely my opinion and while I love debates over the topic, I would appreciate if the commenter uses a polite tone and avoids being nasty/rude/hitting below the belt.
