My First Blog

Virtual Namaste to all. No Hi-Five or Handshakes thanks to Corona (Issued in Public Interest like almost every advertisement wanting to advertise their products are showcasing these days).

Pleasantries exchanged and now lets get down to business. 

As my first blog, I was struggling to think what I should write about. Then the idea shined onto me and I subconsciously started smiling to myself. My mom was, like ‘Chokra pagal hogaya hai’ and my maid gave me the look (yes guys maids have resumed and what a relief but now I think my mom pampers the maid more than me).

Anyways, just to be honest with you guys, what you will read isn’t the idea which came to me, its something which I started writing when I decided to put my idea into words. This was me writing ‘My Thoughts’ as they came to me when I started writing and I realised, that is what people do when they are blogging; just expressing themselves by putting words to their thoughts. Just think about it guys, we all loves to express ourselves, some by speaking or doing things or writing about things. Each one of us expresses ourselves in our own ways, just need that little push to showcase ourselves’ our hidden talents.

We think a lot of things which we want to do, but most of them remain as thoughts and do not translate into actions unfortunately. And so was the case with me too many thoughts and very less action. Obviously, in our busy schedule we do not get time as we are always on the go. Weekdays at work and Weekends either catching up on sleep and our favourite web series (which we binge watch on weekends) or doing household chores. Either ways we struggle to find time to do things we want to do. Being a CA working with a consultancy firm, weekdays are spent in office and weekends (if not working) are spent listening to my mom telling me how messy my room is and I need to clean it.

Thanks to Corona, now that I have sometime, I decided to finally write my first blog. 

Surprisingly, when you decide to do something and you have sometime on your hand and the power of Internet, you easily digress from your objective. I started reading blogs and seeing videos of how to write my own blog. Literally spend hours on this only to realise that it was the stupidest thing I could have done. Relying on someone else to create my blog, to write my thoughts!! Then when I realised the mistake I was doing and started writing, I made another mistake, I started seeing the thesaurus for big and glorified words to make this blog – Have to confess my vocabulary is not that great. Subconsciously, I relied on all resources to make this blog other than the biggest resource I had, my own mind.

Human mind is very tricky and it is only convinced with self-realisation. It dawned on me that if I continue to do all this, the blog that I would write would not be mine, it will just be posted by me but will not be mine. I believe that if you are fake, you will be able to connect with people for a very short span of time but then people would see through you and know that its all fake.

Why do we do this. Why do we not trust ourselves. Why do we not trust our own talents. I believe all of us have individual talents and we do not need any external resources to showcase ourselves, all we need is sometime from our busy lives. Food for thought, if each one of us realises this, creative thinking will be the new normal. Leaving you with this thought, will be back shortly with the next blog (hopefully I can apply the gyaan I have tried giving above to myself and write the next one soon).   

Cheers,

Azim.
