Trying to do something I always wanted to...!! Thank You Preeti Shenoy... :)

So, here I am on a sleepless night when my mind is full of random thoughts, trying to channelize them through writing. ... which is what I always wanted to do.
When I was young I read a book named the diary of a little girl by Anne Frank and decided that I should also document my days, my feelings,  my life... And so I started writing diary... I even named my diary Anne... (she used to call her's Kitty). I loved the feeling of penning the day's events as I used to feel them again while writing. ..
Not just that I could give a second thought on it too... Thus many a times I could see things from a very different perspective which was exhilarating... Writing my diary helped me find many answers to a lot of questions and problems...
I wrote for almost 3-4 years and then I quit... Though writing gave me immense pleasure helped me unwind it made me sad when I turned pages and read about a bad day a fight with a friend or a stupid day of lots of misunderstandings....! It reminded me all the things that happened that day and I would feel why did I even write that..? Was it necessary  to mention it? I was young I was opinionated and sometimes I wrote bad about a very good frnd if we had a fight and reading it after 6 months I used to feel that I am so bad that I wrote such things about my own friends... or how could my friends say such bad things to me... :(
Anyways after many such sad incidents later i thought I should Quit... And I did that...
All these years I missed doing what I love the most but somewhere i was scared to start it again... Sometimes I just scribbled something and threw it away as I did not want to read it again... And today m daring to write again maybe because today is a special day... For the first time in my life I met an Author "Preeti Shenoy" She had come down to Pune for her new book "The Secret Wish List". I got a book signed by her... I don't know it's her impact or what but i felt like writing and what better way to do so by writing a blog... I don't know I should mention her here or not without her permission, I have read all her books and I love the way she writes, and meeting her today has surely inspired my subconscious otherwise I would not have done it... So Thank you Preeti Shenoy for coming to Pune...!!
A few pics of the event, I got it signed on my and my friend Tejaswini's name... :)























Till Later,
Keep Writing
