Break Out The Band
Because it's that time of year again! :)
My baby turns three today. And what a long way we've come.
Yes, I feel the urge to introspect today. How my writing has changed
and how I have changed.
And more importantly, where we are headed from here.
Me and my baby, we started out as overly punctuated, in coherent,
strongly opinionated ramblings of a nineteen year old in college. I
was clueless about love and had no idea of how to be tactful. My fuse
was practically non existent and the slightest thing could set me off.
I was not very perceptive of my surroundings and the feelings of
people around me. Plus I was rude to boot.
This blog was a pain. It was filled with the hopes and fears of a
teenager about to step out into the world. Very silly sounding fear
and hopes. Things that now sound very juvenile. Very unimportant.
And the punctuation! I can't believe I wrote like that. What would
Mrs.Rabi (eighth grade English teacher) think?! Too many '.......'.
Reflects incoherence and lack of organization of thought, don't you
think?
And now? What has happened in three years you ask? Well the '...' are
gone for starters. The sentence construction is much better and my
thoughts are organized much more neatly. I still ramble. And rant. And
rave. But every now and then, a glimmer of intelligence shows through,
I hope. And a glint of humor, maybe?
Oh and the best part for you as readers! I've stopped posting
everyday! ;)
Yesterday and today are exceptions of course. After all, it's our
birthday and we are allowed to spoil ourselves.
Me the person has changed too. From times when the only weighty
decision I had to make was whether to eat in the mess or outside, I
have come a long way. I find myself making decisions about my
happiness.
Making decisions that are life changing.
That are scary.
I have become more sensitive to people and their feelings. And I have
become more confident.
Sure, the future scares me. I'm not sure everything will work out. But
I'm willing to take a chance. And I have the confidence that if I fall
I can pick myself up.
Likewise this blog. Maybe my baby will die a quiet death, with no one
the wiser. Maybe she will go out in a blaze of glory mourned by many.
Or maybe she will live on.
But why get morbid?
Happy birthday. Here's to happiness. Yours and mine :)

Wishing your baby a very happy birthday, and many happy returns
of the day and the moment :)
The ellipises seems to be a teenager's confusion grammmatically
expressed, I have a lot of them on my blog too. Have not
outgrown them, yet !!

@ Suchitra:
Danke :)
I hope the post doesn't make it sound like today's my birthday.
It's actually on the 13th of June. But I never say no to best
wishes ;)
Out-growing our fears? No, that's not possible.
They only change shape. We go from being scared of what's under
the bed to what's coming three years from now :)
