The First One

BLOGGING..It has been a long time I have been thinking to blog..This feeling all the more strengthened when I read someone's blog and I used to start wondering how do some people express themselves so well ..I felt an urge to write..

I recently put up status message on facebook that I ll blog soon , I told many ppl about this thing ;the reaction was same from everywhere 'WHAT ??'. ' What will u write about? '.' What will u describe ? 'Frankly telling I myself did nt know what will I write..I did nt have an list of topics nor did I have any particular situation to describe..But this time I made up my mind not to let this obstacle stop me from doing this.. So here I am ,trying my luck with an all new extravaganza ..

Here I am in Kolkata , a part of IBM..For those who know me they know how did I exactly land up here and for those who don't it is not very significant..The significant part is how I am able to adjust here , with no familiar soul when I came here.. The things I had to back me up was my own belief  "New places are LUCKY for me" ,the confidence of my loved ones in me , and most importantly the way I have moulded myself in the past 4 years. I can sense an expression of surprise in the readers when I talk about Kolkata so much ..The first time I came out of the protective shell was when I came to Pune .Then how come I am so apprehensive about coming to Kolkata..

PUNE..It was a dream destination for me..Something I had always wanted..To be away from home,to make my own independent decisions, to explore a plethora of opportunities , to live my life as I wanted ..Life, to me was a simple journey where you just experience your own decisions.Little did I know how other's decisions affected your life , how other's routine affected your own style of living and how other's choices present you with a choice . Pune , brought me , taught me , presented me a new face of life , an actual LIFE.. Trust me , it was not an overnight thing..I have made mistakes , I have made wrong decisions , I have made wrong choices , I have hurt people ..I have learnt , I have grown , I have evolved .. I guess people around me know that better..   

So Kolkata for me was again a new beginning and I was afraid.I did nt want to commit those mistakes again .I did nt want to mess myself up with some silly stuff again ..I have some memories to cherish ,some moments to live and some dreams to look forward to .I have some relations which I have to carry forward , some new relations to build , some relations to work for..With all this in my kitty , I have a lot to lose and a lot to gain ..And I am presented with the choice TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!
