Why should we blog

-
I was getting introduced to the world of blogging with numerous threads shared by some lovely friends and friends who were themselves bloggers..

I was wondering rather why do everyone look forward to blogging. I created one, just thinking even I can blog, whats the big deal..but when I created the blog, I was rather baffled wondering what to post, forget about posting- wondering even what to name my blog as well..So yes, I did quit..

I happened to have a wonderful conversation with a friend of mine during the solid 1.5 hours journey to work (mind it, its one way and would rather take a meager 20 min..thanks to the Bengaluru traffic). We were discussing/talking/intriguing on different topics under the sky, or even over the sky..And we came to Blogging. When I happened to mention to my friend about how I rather lost interest the very minute I created a page for myself, he came up with this explanation which really pushed me into thinking about writing. Or rather something to start with...here is how the conversation went by..

"So, how old are you?"

"ME? Wrong question to ask a girl..but yes,I am 25"

"Really? can you recollect 25 incidences in your life which were worth remembering and 25 incidences that you can completely picture end to end? Start writing that..It's not about what you would want to blog about..it should be something that you would want to cherish, remember..A blog is more like record of incidences to start with plus it lets your creative wing live longer. And if you are not too sure what the crowd (my friends of course) will think..keep it to yourself"

Wow..25 incidences! now that's something..so here I am with something to start with...

Vive!!
ME,MYSELF :)

Adolescence

-
 Yet another Netflix series that caught my attention recently- Adolescence. It is based on the horrendous stabbing incidents in UK, that left a lasting impression on Stephen Graham who co-created the show with Jack Thorne. Stephen himself is part of the show playing the role of the father to the lead/ accused in this case- Jamie Miller. While there has been a lot of uproar that the show simply refused to truly represent the race of the individual behind the stabbing, I would rather want us to focus on what the show is all about.  This is a mini series of 4 episodes which are an hour long each. Each episode is beyond brilliant and every single character amazingly well put together. It talks about a lot of things that today's generation goes through in their adolescence. I had to read about what the Andrew Tate, 80-20 rules are. Asides the evident generation gap to understand the language of Gen Z, Gen Alpha there is more to it.  As parents, many live in a world of delusion...

Adulting, Motherhood and the many roles

-
 I was a studious kid, brought up with a lot of moral values akin to a typical middle class family & I carry forward the values with pride. Adulting in the books of a millennial is very different from what we see now. The first time I stepped out of my comfort zone of being with my family was when I was 19 years old for my Masters degree. Not very far away or in a strange land- I ended up in Kerala where I could converse fluently in the local dialect. Can't really call this an uprooting but this was my first experience away from my family. Those two years did give me a lot of life experiences which I otherwise would never have had. I was also blessed with a wonderful circle of friends who literally took care of me. I was one of the very few lucky ones who was campus recruited right after my course and I landed in Bangalore. I had no idea of the place but my only condition to move to Bangalore was that my parents should join me. Fast forward to few years, my parents had to move ...

To the Future Husband!

-
Ok! I never thought I would write one on this ever. I have least interest in becoming like the now infamous Indian Author who gave an official entry into his bedroom (and what not) in his book '2 states'. I reserve further comments on that for now. Alas, after 5 years of meeting some 'prospective' grooms and having tried to find a guy on my own, I thought it was best to write down my experience. I guess I am way too qualified to not write one being 28 years and 4 month old. So here it is.. I knew from the time beginning that finding a guy, falling in love is not my cup of tea for two simple reasons. One, I always ended up being the youngest in my class and hence was always treated like a kid (things just didn't change when I went for my MBA either!); Two, I did not feel like I had the patience to devote time with someone and psst, I wanted to play it safe than taking it on myself. So having said that, like any Indian family, it became the responsibility of my par...
