Amidst the premiers of Game of Thrones and amidst nail biting IPL
matches, amidst all kinds of excitements around the world and zillions of zeal and intensity to experience, have
you ever known someone who decides to cut off from all of that and, well, start
a blog?
Well, there you go!
Meet me, Meghana Lanka.
The first words of my own blog, the initial excitement of a new name
and my musings. What's more to celebrate an amazing beginning and a perfect
day's ending.
Beating the inhibitions of creating a blog for over two years,
today I decided to make it happen. Today I decided to do what I have always
wanted to, and today I have decided to make my musings meaningful. The
idea of creating an own blog has always been on my mind, however, on the back-seat. A constant visit to countless other blog sites and a regular write up
on papers has always been a part of my daily routine, until a month ago, when I
realized the thrill of writing for the digital media and having a strong web
presence.
Like any other Mass Communication student, the language of English
has forever been my panorama of interest, and writing, the only outlet for my
ruminations. For all I remember, I have
been an obsessed fan of literature and poetry and of course with the wonderful
teachers I had, I wasn't given an option but to love the language. Who knew that Robert Frost’s Road Not Taken
would give me a different perspective for life altogether, and who knew that
even today, after 4 years of leaving school, Julius Ceaser would still remain
my all-time favourite classics.
Today, although being quite a strenuous day, I decided to give up
on an early sleep. Sitting all alone in my room with a bottle of chilled water,
I chose to bridge the gap residing in my head, the gap between a new blog and
my mind. We often miss opportunity
because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.
After a thoughtful twenty
minutes and a search through the various search engines of my mind, I decided
to pay heed to my interior monologue and write upon the most clichéd first time
writings – “the excitement of writing for the first time.”
Pondering at the last stage of this write up, I wonder why I didn't take this up earlier. I realize that this could have been a wonderful platform
for all my lost thoughts. Today, nothing beats the excitement of this new found
passion and all that I can hear is the voice of my inner soul, a voice that
says, “Keep writing before it’s gone
because weaving words should never be forgotten magic.”
