This blog will never die

This was a promise I made to myself while I was starting this blog.

One advice that my father gave me when I was about to change my stream in 12th was “If you take a step towards something, never EVER think about going back again. Do or die in the process”. Even though these words came out of a very casual scolding, which was extremely usual at that time, It struck me hard. I never thought about the importance of always going ahead in life until then.

Even though I consider myself a great planning/organizing person, I must admit that I really don’t look towards the future. I set goals which gives me some sort of gratification and always makes it a point to work towards it staying “in the present”.
So, coming back to the point. This blog. I repeat, I’ll do everything I can to keep this blog alive. I may be anywhere, doing anything, I’ll put up something in it which I find interesting; even if the entire world doesn’t remember that such a blog existed. 🙂

Okay. So that was me saying apologies for not writing for so long. Actually I had a lot to share through the blog. My life traversed through some sine waves in the meanwhile and so many things were going around. That is good in a way: you have more and more things to write about. Indeed there is. And I had written some 5-6 drafts. Don’t know where I left it.

Enough of the introduction. Leaving a timestamp here. I am 22 years, 4 months and 4 days old as of today.

See, now that I sat down to write, I am seriously falling short of stuff to write. That’s why I’m randomly BS’ing.

But I’ve to confess. I’m stressed-to-the-core. It’s been quite long since I had some proper rest. Since the day 1 of my final year engineering, I’ve been stressing my brains out. I didn’t have a day’s rest after my engineering exams were over. Packed my bags and started to Bangalore the very next day after my exams. The pressure of my life has been waiting here for me. Then my world became filled with PPTs, CIAs, Activities, Exams, Trimesters and a serious overload of MBA jargons.

And I was bored as hell. Some change was required. Then, it was then I started reading. I thought reading was a long lost habit, but it was coming back to me. I seriously believe that a city like Bangalore has pretty much nothing to offer to an MBA student. Since the city failed, I found refuge in books. But all those teenage fictions, love stories and detective fictions; their time had ended. I found that there are enough interesting genres apart from those mentioned above. I’ve never realized the importance of reading as I’ve now.

Actually I want to write more. But the fact that It’s 1:20am and the realization that I’ve to attend classes tomorrow is making me consider bed.  So I repeat what I have to say: Start reading seriously. Be selective when you are reading. A Tip: you can even skip my blog if you find it uninteresting. But read. Read more. Knowledge is the biggest treasure.

PS: You might have got an impression that, I sound very negative in some part of this post. It’s only because I’m bored and stressed but at the same time wanting to desperately add some value to anyone who happens to read this blog. Ciao.
