First Post

After much apprehension (read procrastination), I finally decided that the time was right to pen my first blog post. I have wanted to do this for a while now. I have had many fleeting bouts of inspirations and ideas for this first post. I would just muse about them for a while, but I would think that I am just daydreaming and should get on with work.

I have surfed through many blogs online mostly via Pinterest and have come across different types of bloggers: many successful bloggers who take up blogging as a full time job and even make money out of it; others who actively write about travel, photography, fashion, beauty, etc., or whatever their topic of interest is; some who were active once but not so active in recent times for whatever reasons; and lastly the not so successful ones-  those who never got back after the first couple of blog posts. I just hope I don't fall into the last category of bloggers. I would be very happy if I managed to post 25 blogs this year, which means roughly 2 blogs a month. That doesn't seem very daunting at the beginning of the year now , does it? Only time will tell.

This is for sure not a fashion blog or beauty blog as I am a mere consumer and no expert. I would rather use $60 for movies and food than buy a serum or even a fashionable skirt (if I can identify one). As much as I love looking up to blogs and pins for inspiration and reviews about these things, they are just not my forte, at least not in the foreseeable future. I neither travel a lot, nor follow any sporting activity avidly to write about it. I am tired of taking photographs as well as posing for one (if you are my friend on Facebook, you would be aware that I upload pictures once in a year, at the most). I used to read a lot, but now work is taking priority over many things in my life.

However, I do like to catch up with my friends and chat up about very random things that have happened/ are happening in our lives- love, relationships, work, weddings, marriages,  and the world in general. That is precisely what I intend to do in this blog. I am simply going to look for inspiration from regular things in life that we so often ignore or consider unimportant.

These normal things make up most of our lives. There are serious matters that we take for granted and don't talk about, small and mundane matters that we don't pay attention to, and some important matters that we forget about in our pursuit for a better life.

I know. I understand, it just happens- because life is like that!

But I am here to make some noise about them..
