Today is the first day of Durga Puja.. a festival we Bengalis eagerly await every year.. clear blue skies and the feel of festivity in the air.. brings out the child in all of us..

Here's wishing you all a wonderful Sharodiya :-)

A million pages from my mind

A dormant dream of writing.. not just for the pleasure of it, but to speak my mind about issues closest to my heart. Words I've said only to myself. Thoughts swimming in my head during showers, mothering and typing away through official correspondence. Feelings swept under the carpet woven out of 'diplomacy' and 'tact'.

As a young girl, during some really dark hours, the wish to write was a dream born out of a this hidden desire to scream, albeit silently. Through the following years, however, the only thing that remained of that dream was resonance of those stifled screams. To be perfectly honest, I did not try hard enough. It's a relief to finally be able to say it.. I did not try. Is it ever too late to change that? I hope not.

Now that I want to say things, I can't seem to find the right words. I do hope that's going to change with successive posts.

More later? Mmmmmm.. maybe..

Blogging my mind ..

Stuck between 'should' and 'maybe' is not a good place to be. Thought I'd reach out beyond and venture into the more complex world of "What the hell !", after tip-toeing through "Might as well..". Brave of me.. although not sure how long the tranquilizers will help. I might actually have to write something decent.. scary thought !! (Big consolation: I can still just log off and forget KoelzBlog existed beyond the realms of my blogging dreams.)

As an inaugural blog, the best thing to do would be to write some really witty stuff about myself; facts, fears & fetishes for instance. But for the life of me, I don't know where to start.. HELP !!
