Most of my blogger friends are celebrating their blog's 10th anniversary and I see many blogging marathons happening in the blogosphere. For me, my blogger profile says I've been on Blogger since December 2004, so technically it's my 12th anniversary as a
blogger. But since most of my previous
blogging trials were short-lived I can claim only the last ten years ;)
Oct 7th 2006 was
when I started this blog
and it
took me a couple of months to gather the courage to
make this public .
When I started I
thought it's going to be my private diary, just me and my thoughts, and no one
will read it. But over a period of time, I got so many friends here and even
though the blogging frequency reduced, the friends remained. So I just
wanted to acknowledge the space and the support I got from here.
Ten years!!
We keep saying "time flies" but I
really can't believe it's been ten years.
An entire decade has whizzed by!!
This chapter of my life has been...everything -
wonderful,
exciting, scary, insecure, confusing, fuzzy and heartwarming. It's
certainly been the most intense decade of my life. And I am grateful for all of it - the buzzing highs, shattering
lows and everything in between.
So many things changed - my environment, my life, my outlook, my job, even places I lived.
Along with all these changes even my blog, the frequency in
which I write, my tone of writing all changed. But I also realized that beyond
all these superficial changes, there is me that doesn’t change. Come
to think of it, our blog is our virtual home right? At some point in the
chaotic life, you have had enough and you choose to leave it behind to explore
other things that lies beyond. And after some time you miss the home and
want to come back. But sometimes when you have packed your bags and said your
goodbyes it gets difficult to do that...
Anyways I am so grateful for the connections I have made through this little space in the internet. Without this blog, I wouldn't have had a way
into your home and life and you wouldn't have had a way into mine. You are
all part of my extended family and I am touched that you have ventured over
to this space, read what I wrote, and connected with me.
And I appreciate YOU!
Your comments help me to know you more. I know there are many
anonymous readers. Tell me who you are and why you are here. Even why you like reading my blog and what do you want to read about will be an icing on the
cake. If not just say a HiWon't you?
