It is now three months that I started blogging and the initial fervour is not exactly starting to die down like I thought it
would. I have shifted cities once more and now finally getting into the mood to
get cracking on my studies again. My long vacation of four months is now both
fortunately and unfortunately at an end.
I had started this blog as a way to escape the boredom and
nothingness that is ‘vacation’ but after my third blog post, I realized that
this was going somewhere. This relationship would not just culminate with the
vacations but go on in the long run to be a steady affair. Now that I’m going
to resume my daily life with its share of workloads and projects, I have a
lingering feeling that I’m not going to be able to shrug it off and move on to
something else like I've been doing for the past three years. This is going to
be a lasting relation with its ups and downs and grief and joy and moments of
writer’s block!
And, in the field of study that I've chosen, my blog is one
of the factors that affords me as much learning and experience than I can
manage to glean out of a classroom or a lab. Communication, i.e. effective
communication is learnt only by dialogues, I believe and not just one way
traffic. Writing, being read and then answered by your readers, that’s the type
of learning I’m talking about and that is what, in effect, communication is all
about.
So I hope that the fire of this blog never goes out and even
if it comes close to doing so, I’ll just add a little of either Brandy or
Whiskey to rejuvenate it again. (wink, wink)
