Dear Blog,
This
is the first time I’m writing a letter to you. Hope you receive it in time.
It’s been a while since I thought of writing a letter to you, to tell you how
important you are to me. We have been together since few years now but there
was hardly a time we spoke to each other. I believe there’s no better way than
a snail mail to fill up this gap.
Frankly
speaking I can’t recollect what motivated me to start a blog but I do remember
how the enthusiasm kicked in and we started writing our own history together. We
started the journey with youthful rhymes. Yeah! I remember why we decided it to
be named as “rhymes” & not poems. It was because we didn’t consider
ourselves to match the level of those celebrated poets. We considered ourselves
rookie in this field but I must say I enjoyed and still do the way we wrote
rhymes & were eager to publish it to the world. We were like a drop in the
sea but what encouraged us was that now we are the part of the sea! Year passed
and we came up with so many straight from heart rhymes that, it did touched few
readers. And that was our first impression in the sand!
There
was no stopping for us now. We started a journey whose destination was not
important. Coming year we introduced yet another aspect of our creativity. The
one which convey a thousand words through random lines and patches of colors. I
must say the Batman painting was my favorite. Do tell me your favorite one!
Time
went by and we met fellow bloggers on this voyage. They all were so creative
and inspirational in so many different ways. I must say they made us hold our
ground in the times when we were tired of our journey. A big thank you to all
of them.
And
a BIG thank you to you too :) Because of you I was able bring out those
emotions, open those closed boxes of surprise by which I was able to set myself
free. You have helped me not only realize my strengths but also highlighted my
weaknesses in ways I could not imagine. By putting those weaknesses under spotlight
you gave me an opportunity to improve myself, to carve myself into something
better than what I was. You thought me that the sea is made up of drops like me.
Small but of value!
I
know that you are out there busy 24/7/365 showcasing our work to the world on a
grand stage but I would want you to take some time and read this letter. Coz I
want you to know that I value you. Although our relationship is virtual but our
connection is heartfelt.
Yours
truly,
Author
PS,
Happy New Year

A Hundred Little Flames by Preeti Shenoy is story of 26-year-old Ayan who is sent to live
with his grumpy old grandfather Gopal Shanker, in a tiny village, in Kerala, he
is understandably devastated. What can a sleepy, idyllic village without even
Internet connectivity offer a young man?
Let the heartfelt relation grow further. Wishing you a great year ahead.
