I, Me, Myself

A really funny story behind the title When a stone goes miles - So a few days ago, it was my 25th birthday :) Some call it the quarter-life crisis; but lets not stray. Life has enough crises without adding a new one! ... So my sister says to me during our phone conversation, "That's a milestone!". "Yes," I think, "I like milestone. Definitely not crisis!" And that's when my father interjects from behind her... "Yes. Milestone. The stone has gone miles!". Hilarious :) My sis and I were completely thrown off. I liked it so much, that I've shared it with my best of friends - and they appreciated the joke too (knowing me!) - and so here it is. The title of my blog!


Disclaimer: Read at your own risk. Its I, Me, Myself here on ;)


Why the hell am I blogging? I am thinking to myself even as I compose this. I have thought this and munched over it for long (that's what I tend to do as I make any decision!); and I have come up with three excellent reasons

• I love to express myself
• This would be my sweet life documented - and I'd love to have that when I'm gaga and can't remember my own name
• It promotes self-introspection and self-improvement - for those that are skeptically raising their eyebrows or pooh-poohing this, well, go right ahead! You'll see :)

What's in it for me? Everything! I plan it to be my diary, a written account of my experiences, my thoughts, my opinions - in short, my life from my own viewpoint. Modern technology has released us from the necessity of a fountain pen and a notebook; and though I don't question the romance of a hand-written diary, I definitely opt for the digital. Its fast (life's fast now-a-days, no?), less cumbersome (laziness is ingrained in me ;)) and of course more convenient (think of backspace versus crossing out words when you think of better ones!). 

What's in it for you, the reader? Again, everything! Since a reader is interested in reading interesting stories, you won't be disappointed. I believe everyone of us has a story to tell (such a platitude! Nevertheless... true :)). I also believe I have the gift of expression. Put the two together, and what the astute reader will conclude is that I'll tell interesting stories about my experiences. Interesting is a promise - as I myself will be reading these.

Which brings me to my (speedy) conclusion of this post - I plan this blog to be a dialogue. A conversation. I have many personalities living inside of me. Each has its own feelings and attitudes. Each has its merits and its fallacies. Let the dialogue ensue and inform my growth as an individual :) 

To you, the reader, welcome to my world! I hope you accompany me on this wonderful journey as it unfolds, and enrich my life with your presence and participation. May the force of Love be with you always :)
