I’ve been meaning to write a post summarising my blog-writing journey for a while. But I couldn’t find a better occasion than today to do that. My blog turns one year old today! Yes, I am definitely excited like a new mum whose child turns one. It is a time for her to reminisce about the past one year when she was busy nurturing the baby.

I wrote my first blog post on this same day, exactly 1 year ago. If you read that post, you’ll realise my blog has changed directions somewhat from its original plan. YouTube was the starting inspiration but once I plunged into the deep abyss of knowledge (via books, films, internet and more) I found too many interesting ideas that attracted my attention and made me think. Like a little baby enriches the mum with experiences of motherhood, this blog has enriched me with fascinating knowledge and ideas, putting a thinking cap on my head and introducing me to many wonderful human beings.

When I started this blog, I was going through a transformation in my personal life. Traumatic experiences can make your life take a dramatic turn, for better or for worse. In my case, it was definitely for better. As I was trying to understand myself and the inside better, my blog gave me an opportunity to marvel at the outside, the wonders of nature and also of humankind. With time, I came across films and books and people that showed the direction to connection between the inside and the outside. With my thinking the blog posts changed too. While still sharing the wondrous and fascinating feats of nature and of mankind with my readers, I looked for a connection between the past and the future, between us and the nature.

I do not know if this blog will grow to a ripe old age along with me or will it die prematurely. Like any mum, I would hope and pray for its long and healthy life, for it to flourish. And more importantly, to be the driving force which would make me think out of the box and let me express those thoughts to others.
