Expressions

As a kid, I had often wondered how sometimes it is difficult to communicate not just with oneself but also with your dear ones. Words would falter only at the most critical of times, even to the most articulate of them all. This could be more prevalent in stages of adolescence where teens tend to become more reclusive. Deep down somewhere, I was probably one such person who found greater solace in expressing to the inner self – Have believed in this part of it, till date.


Thus, began my quest for writing. Initially, it seemed like a Face 2 Book conversation which was more a monologue. But then, as years pass by, its amazing to read through stuff which I have myself written say, 10 or 12 years back, with the mindset and maturity levels I had at that time. When I had gone home (native place) recently, I spent a decent amount of time flipping through my old school/college time Diaries, scrap-books, all the farewell autograph notes from my friends, etc. – in a way, it was more like re-visiting the past.


Blogging, really, is only a more contemporary variant of the same. You document stuff based on your real time experiences in life, the people you interact with, or thoughts that strike you at a particular point in time. As days, and you, evolve, its nice to recall what you were going through during that phase of life. In a way, its like an expression of your ideologies and principles on various things that you experience in your day to day routine – A fabulous medium to express your views and thoughts to people whom you wish to. And So I thought, So here I am.

Hi great to see that you are experimenting with blogging.

While I was reading ur comments on 'use of words for communication' recalled Neale Donald Walsch in his book 'Conversations with God' wherein it is nicely stated that God communicates mainly throguh "feelings", "thoughts" and "experiences" and only if these fail "words" are used. This is so as "words" are the least effective communicator.. most open to mis-interpretation and mis-understanding. So the limitations of words must also be kept in mind.
