My Bold Step! My Friendship!

A positive idea can bring a big change in one’s life. I, too, was influenced by one such idea four years before, that brought a big change in my life.

It was a busy evening, when couple of my friends, spoke about blogging, its benefits and its addiction. I was a passive participant in the conversation till I questioned my friend, “What is a blog?” Her answer drew me into the conversation and we spoke nonstop for an hour. Almost shouted in the mid of a park, where kids were playing innocently without bothering about the dreadful word “Tomorrow”. The outcome of the conversation was the birth of much confusion inside my head: “Should I start blogging or ignore the idea and concentrate on studies?” “Should I speak to my Dad?” “Will blogging be a spoilsport?” “Will I lose my marks if I start blogging and get addicted to it?”

There were many more questions that added the fuel to the fire, but finding out the answers became a headache. I thought, “I was not ready to take such a big step, blogging and studies, might not work out.”

That night I had my dinner at around 8’o clock and slept at nine. I slept peacefully. (Did I?)

The very first thing I did in the morning was to switch on my laptop, logged on blogger.com, and created my first blog, the first big bold step I took in my life. I named the blog “My Friendship”, as it denotes my friendship with everyone and anyone I meet in the virtual world. I was the happiest girl alive in the world that day.

I started blogging to express myself in terms of poetry. It was something I inherited from my Grandma, an unknown poet to this world. Whenever my poetry was appreciated, I used to be very happy. I used to fly to Cloud Nine.

It’s been four years now. I’ve made many good friends and won a few blogging contests. And from blogging I entered into the world of publishing. I got my poems published in online magazines at first, and now, I’ve contributed in a few anthologies and novels that are currently available in book store. I also excel in my studies. I have a good grade in all my exams. I have a perfect balance between my personal life, blogging life and social life. That’s what make everyone awe. More than that my family members and friends are happy and proud of me. I am the happiest girl in the world. My bold step brought a big change in my life and helped me start a new life.

Everything was dull and dry. On such a searing day nobody could imagine even a blow of wind for split second  but Shanaya, a strong instinct believer already predicted , there would be rains shortly.  No one cared! She quickly went into her kitchen to prepare a mug of coffee and some cookies for herself. Her younger brother started teasing her for her dippy act. Hot coffee on a hot day! Didi, have you got crazy?  She wasn't paying attention towards him. She was calm,lost in the other world. Busy in blending cocoa and sugar. Again her brother in a teasing...

Jia, with her earnest brown eyes, was watching outside through a window glass. She was mesmerized to spot a peacock dancing beautifully on the terrace of a distant building. She saw a crowd standing outside under the cafe roof, waiting for the rain to stop and so that they could continue to walk toward their respective destinations. Jia was a sensitive child and mature beyond an eight year old. There were two kinds of people she found standing under the roof. Some of them were silent and calm enjoying the pleasant rains, like her. Whereas, others were despite being strangers were friendly enough to start a conversation for a while. Jia could see them smiling, exchanging numbers. Maybe they ...
