Ready steady Go...... Nablopomo 2016

-

Let me start off this ‘nablopomo’ with a Thank you note to Swar who started it all off with an FB post.

 

 Like so many bloggers out there even I was looking for an excuse to write… I would like to write everyday but then someone needs to push me or I need to have a typical goal to achieve and that is exactly what Swar did. 

 

 The things that a blog marathon does to a blogger is unbelievable, it starts giving you an eye for a post in everything. You start lurking in a corner during conversations with your colleagues or your family.. you start looking for a topic in even something as mundane as your daily cup of coffee, also someone like me who usually sleeps through my 2 hour morning journey to office remains wide awake looking at the scenes on the road while our office bus zooms past…. lest I miss some very important topic to be converted into a post from the morning scenes and hustle and bustle on the roads…

 

 So apart from the funny things this blog marathon does to you... eventually it gets on to you and grows on you, making you sort of addicted to it.  You start looking forward to the moment when you actually zero in on a topic then start writing and then when you finally hit the publish button .. it gives a high and a sense of achievement.

 

 Then comes the part when it gets over... suddenly you are filled with an emptiness and you start feeling lost !! :)  I can etch out these feeling here so clearly because I just concluded a blog marathon in August which I started on my own to challenge myself into writing and I was so happy when I actually completed 30 posts. 

 

 There were days when I missed writing a post  but then I compensated the next day by writing  2 posts !!

 

 Yeah! This is really a madness but a creative one and I am glad I joined it…

    What you said is so true, Rekhu! Once you set out on a blog marathon, anything and everything begins to seem like a probable fodder for a post :D

    You managed a successful blogathon in august? WOW!!

    Good luck and have fun this time around too!

    Hi! It has been a while since I visited your blog, so was not aware of your Blog Marathon. I brought my blog back to life yesterday by writing a post after February! I think I will start a blog marathon once my posts get regularized! Congratulations on your marathon once again. Do drop by my page when you get a chance too. Thanks! https://princesspk35blog.wordpress.com/

    writing a comment here sounds redundant. nevertheless, let me wish you all the best for more blogathons that are as successful as this one.

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...
