Here goes!

Rainy weather; it is not conducive for any sort of activity. Other than sleeping or drinking a hot cup of coffee. I am lying on my stomach staring at my laptop; I can feel the frustration build up in me. What on earth should I write about? I have no idea.
I cannot say I am here (blogging) because I choose to be heard, or that I plan and hope that this venture will take me to new heights. Frankly speaking I have no idea what am I doing here. I feel like a 7 year old standing in center stage with the spotlight glaring down on me. I feel unprepared. It’s not that I have forgotten the words. No those I know all too well. Writing is a profoundly beautiful way of self expression. Ever since I started to dip my toes in this vast art, I fell in love (although I know next to nothing about it). Then why is it that I can’t find my words?
I made a decision a decision to start blogging. And here I find myself, three days after registering this domain with nothing up on the site. Why you ask? This is me. Over thinking is my specialty and this new venture has not escaped my overworking mind (what shall I write about, do I sound obnoxious and will make a mockery out of blogging). I can over think to an extent that I inhibit myself from doing what I set out to do in the first place.
I can ponder on things to no end. That is why I write, to put a stop to the thinking, I start writing in confusion and when I end I somehow gain some clarity. In my opinion writing is not just a form of self expression but also a form of self discovery.
You could say that what I might be referring is something more like a diary; I cannot argue with that. It is true to an extent.  My diary is a compilation of articles; it always ends up being an open secret. But so far the secrets were just open to my close friends. Now, am I ready to take put it up for the eyes of everyone and anyone? The answer is a flat out No!
But tell me truthfully can you ever be entirely ready? Opportunities arise at unexpected times, and sometimes you have time to prepare and sometimes you don’t. You just gather all the courage you have left (wherever it may be hiding) and give your best shot with all you have at that time and who knows you might just surprise yourself.
Do I aim to be a notable blogger? No. All I know is that I feel I should start blogging. So here I am. I have no genre in mind; I might blog about ice cream one day and about spiritual enlightenment the next. So you if you are asking what this blog about? My answer is who knows, I am just going to make it up as I go along. I just hope I can give you a good read and do not leave you feeling that it was just an utter waste of your time.
