4 years of blogging! A walk down the memory Lane…..


It all started one day while I was sitting in my hostel and thinking….. about Life, Love, friends, Family etc. Thoughts were flooding in my mind like anything, after a while I felt that m getting over ridden by it, suddenly felt an urge to jot it down somewhere, switched on my computer, and started writing something or everything on MS word, when I stopped and looked at the watch it was almost 16:00 pm, a sign of ‘wow factor’ astonished me as in that ‘yeah, I too can write’.

I was aware of blogging world but never took it seriously, but the other day I didn’t give a single thought also and searched google for a nice blog website and template, I stumbled upon Blogspot.com and a nice travel template. So here I was sitting in front of my PC with Blogpot.com displayed on it. Now there came a big question about the ‘Hyperlink’s name’ and my Blog name….

I was quite puzzled about it, nothing came to my mind for about 1 hour, reason being the name of blog matters a lot for avid readers. I decided to go for Tea and then think about it. While was enjoying my evening tea a beautiful idea about the name hit my mind, i.e. Reading is my passion, Travelling is my hobby and my blog would consist of my real life experiences. So, I combined everything into one single blog,
Let’s see how it is:

Link: www.thereader07.blogspot.com (The Reader tells how passionate I'm about reading)
Name of Blog: The Time Traveller (the spelling consists of “LL” instead of “L” , Traveller is a series of Role-Playing games so I took it from there as my blog would contain every post with my Role Play in one way or the other.)
Tagline: Welcome to a Beautiful Journey called Life…. (it’s because I consider Life very, very Beautiful)

So, this is how I came into the world of blogging and a Regular blogger was born.

Writing was my hobby since Childhood, earlier I used to write my daily routine/schedule, later when I grew up and started understanding the Nature, Life, Relations etc. it turned into different way but still , daily diary was maintained, at times I used to get surprised by the thoughts generated by my mind. There were sleepless night also where I kept thinking and writing everything down on a paper.
But now things have changed, I know how to control my thought, keep it in an order and finally “Blog” it down.

4 awesome years of blogging! Thanks a million to everyone who reads it and the kind words of encouragement you have been giving me all these years.

Random Philosophy.....

I am not religious. I was, for a couple of years, but not anymore. If forced to mention my religion, I would say I am a Hindu. I am not ritualistic but rituals fascinate me.

Now the tricky question...do I believe in God? I am not sure as of now but I know that somewhere in heart I hardly/don’t believe.

I don't believe in the bait of heaven and the threat of hell. I don't believe that there are rewards in store if you do good and punishments if you do evil. I believe that we don't need a reason to do well and there is absolutely no excuse to hurt someone.

I do not believe that we suffer for a reason. Everyone goes through the cycles of happiness and sorrow, success and failure. Experiencing failure and sorrow is an opportunity to become a stronger person and be a better fit in our personal world. More importantly, it teaches me how to deal with it when I meet it the next time.

According to me, every problem either has a solution or a work around. It is up to me to discover it. There are no dead ends in life (except for death itself).

I believe in leading a life where I am true to myself, and don't add negative energy to the word. There is just one life we get to live, and I try my best to live it to the fullest. Keeping the 'self' alive is important. I feel it is fine to make mistakes as long as I learn my lessons and I have the courage to face the consequences of my actions. I don't have too much of respect for the rules of the society, and feel following my heart is more important. I like living on the edge and, as a rule, I take all the major decisions in my life on an impulse. I believe in having absolute clarity about what my priorities in my life are, and they are just 4: my Family, my Career, my Friends and my Life. Leading my life my way is the most important thing for me.

This is how I would ideally like to live but I am human, and can't stick to everything all the time but this philosophy is my guiding light.

Recovering From Operation......

Few days back I noticed pain in my lower abdomen, that too unbearable (den i wondered that at times few pains are stronger dan a heart break... :D ), i was diagnosed with swelling in my Large Intestine. Worst part was Doctor suggested an Operation. I felt a bit nervous about the operation part but later on made up my mind to go for it, doctor told me that it's a minor Laser treatment. 
So, it happened on 27/08/2012 @ 11:00 a.m.

After that 2 weeks of bed rest and now m back to my office, slowly coping up with normal life because doc. has advised me to strictly stay away from Cigarette/Drinks/Tobacco permanently and 2 months from Oily and Spicy food.

So, finally I can say "I QUIT............................... Cigarette" because it's been already 15 days and now I dun even feel urge for it. It feels gr8 without it.

Statutory Warning: Cigarette Smoking is Injurious to Health, (trust me... I felt it, stay away)
