An Icing on the cake......

“You stood up tall, amidst all the circumstances” - That's what my conscience said with confidence when I laid my pen down after finishing this post!

A journey of passion,
A journey of pride, 

A journey of sustainability, 
A journey of emotions, 
A journey of words, & 
A journey of my beginning :) 

                               

I feel humbled and proud to welcome a decade into my world of blogging. This post is so special as it takes me down the memory lane. Ever since I started blogging in 2012, I have striven hard to keep my website active with my best contemplation and  contents. The sense of pride of being a blogger and nourishing every day with positivism is infectious. Grateful to this being spread across a decade and many more years to come!

Every post is like my child. It wasn’t an easy tenure all through these years,  I had bittersweet experiences, challenging days, tough contents etc, but all that has striven to tap the potential in me as a writer. There were days when my heart wanted to post something but situations restricted it. However I made efforts to grab my pen and complete it. My blog gave me space to improve myself, manifest my words to the next level and gave me confidence to continue my passion amidst all situations. I made a point that every layman enjoys the essence of my thoughts through a public forum. Have always meant to keep it simple and sweet, however not short, as many of my posts were way lengthy :) 

This medium has given me confidence and strength to race over time. My words have opened many doors for my problems. There was always a sense of bliss when I wrapped up my post. I had short term goals to put my views on the table with consistency. My aim was to give quality posts rather than counting ones. I make sure to take that time and effort to give the best post which even a layman could taste. All these have bundled up to an immeasurable joy which would last forever. It's my cup of coffee with that little extra sugar of optimism! This made me resilient ! 

My education was my backbone, my work was my second family. I was blessed to have both of them as it gave me a lot of exposure and experience around my world. Every word I pen down has an emotion which has built a bonding all through to give birth to a post. All my homework has paved the way to nourish a post as my child. My post knows my pain and pleasure, which has always stood behind my thoughts and emotions. 

On this "World book day 3rd Mar 2022" week, I am pleased to put forth a "close to heart" post which is all about music and books. What else one could wish for in the 10th year of blogging!

I was amazed when my daughter took my notes and started singing her own chords! That moment I felt I had given some justice to my gurus (teachers) who introduced Music to me.

My inclination towards the swarms of music started right from childhood. I always felt music and writings go in parallel. Every time my keyboard hits a key on my screen, my foot taps with a beat. Every post travels all along with some rhythm in them, with some emotions which connect my audience. There is never a day without my headset and diary! I grew up listening to incredible tunes and voices. They made my day !

My sister's companion was my biggest strength in my journey. Our fascination doubled as we started feeling our emotions towards music together. I had more of a stand on divine classical music and my teachers have been my biggest inspiration. Our interest became our passion, we started rejoicing in the chords for instruments, we learnt from our mentors and inferred music is all our life. We performed at religious events which made us proud as siblings. The 8 swarms (S R G M P D N S) became our best pals. Can't forget our childhood days singing together, learning together and performing together. Also, we have been blessed with such parents whose double Es (encouragement and enthusiasm) never ends  towards us and that always keep us going!!

With several years of learning the classical genre, I have now started mentoring kids. I believe happiness is always sharing rather than gaining. The more you put your notes on the table, the best you get in return. This year, in my decade of blogging I have started nourishing my knowledge with the kids. 

There started my journey, the chords became my bliss and soul of life. It started spreading love and joy all over. Be it either classical or western or any genre of tunes, I loved it. I could feel the bonding towards it. My passion doubled with satisfaction. My foot started tapping for more tunes, more rhythms as I started to learn and explore more. I haven't performed on big stages or became a popular singer, but I have always been a quality singer for my conscience. 

Music is a pure Magic, 

Magic is having soulful Rhythms, 

Rhythm is an Art,

Art is my Phrases,

Phrases are thoughts, 

Thoughts are my writings! 

This Journey will stand beside me forever. The tunes gave me a meaning, they blossomed as beautiful flowers in my world of writing and singing. I will cherish my learning and keep spreading the joy of music!

I always dreamt of writing something on music and I couldn’t find a better occasion to celebrate it than posting it on my 10th year. Let the musical journey begin!

I always felt - "You need not be a superstar chef/baker to make a great cake, but a person who can squeeze the essence of it and recreate it with an icing on top :)"

Sending all the Love !

Let your day sparkle !

Let the good times begin musically!

I am thankful to all my followers and well wishers who stood behind me for every word that I pen down. 

My Pen, My Sword ! 

Being grateful for this Decade !
