Blog Marathon post no. 1 - An ode to my writing inspiration and celebrated author Ms. Preeti Shenoy

-
So... this place has been ignored for quite a while and I have been trying hard to get over the 'writers' block' which has gripped me quite badly for a while now. So in order to challenge my self to get over this so called 'block' and also to do more frequently what I love doing.. writing that is... (apart from reading ofcourse) I am starting this Blog Marathon and hope to stick by it and complete this without fail and any gaps in between by July 27th... so all the best to me and here I am with my first post...
 
I have to admit here that I am hugely inspired by Preeti Shenoy, the best selling author of books like 'The one you can not have', ' The secret wishlist' etc.,  hats off to her, she has been blogging also  for almost 10 years and I have been her reader almost the same number of years, I saw her transforming into a brilliant and celebrated writer, I have read her books and loved it to bits, her books are simple, sincere and has a quality to win you over with it's absolute charm. 

So  as I was saying Ms. Shenoy, inspite of being a busy and celebrated writer who has 7 absolutely beautiful pieces of literature under her belt, who is also a column writer and a Mom of two and a Yoga enthusiast takes out time out of her super busy schedule to keep her blog updated,  she challenges her self often to write a blog marathon on her blog and then she writes every single day,  where in I am sure she has enough assignments and novel (s) going on in  her head for her next successful venture, but nothing stops her from being deterred from her commitment everytime she does a blog Marathon, and I am awe inspired by that.

She is my inspiration for writing and I am going to try, even if I fail, I am going to try and fail , I am not going to give up  without trying every single day... though she needs no introduction here I am giving this link to her blog which is a suuper inspiring place... thanks Preeti for being an inspiration to people like me... who slog day in and day out in a Corporate corner and our hobbies and talent languish under the daily monotony and fatigue..
 
Also I am so honoured and happy to share here that long time back Preeti had graced by blog and commented on one of poems here, and her comment, I treasure till date...
 
So see you tomorrow, till then.. here is my first Marathon blogpost.....

    Hi! I am a huge fan of Preeti Shenoy and when I was going through the comments on her blog posts, I came across yours and thought I would check out your blog marathon post too. Thanks for sharing such a lovely post. Preeti is an inspiration for me as well. I love her books because I can relate to her writing. Such is an all rounder and nothing stops her from doing what she wants. All the best to you and your Blog Marathon. Shall drop by another day and read your posts! :-)

Nature - My childhood friend

-
This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
