Hi!

Last year, on 6th September, Ashenglow was born. Its kinda tough to believe that its been one year since i started blogging, though sporadically. But nevertheless... i kept coming back. Dint i.

Iv come a long way. Yeah. Learnt a lot. Unlearnt a lot. Did a few things. And undid some. Life has changed 360 degrees since then. There were some fantastic moments that i wont forget in my whole life. And some that i would want to tuck away in the farthest corner of my mind, so that they never raise their heads again. Ever. Some of them found place in my poems, stories, cribs, arbit posts, while some got blown away by the winds of time..


Am getting married next month. A new life awaits me. New city, new friends... But some things wont change. Life will move on. Il continue getting up too early in the morning unnecessarily... Delhi will continue being rainless and killing hot... Indian politics would continue being a comedy of errors (or horrors, whatever)... Inflation would continue to haunt everyone...Traffic jams in my city would continue being a nightmare... Bhai would continue living in his shabby room with cockroaches and other yet-to-be-deciphered lower forms of life... Ma would continue cribbing about her job and yet carry on.

Hmmm...

So before i get into too much of Blah, let me get to the point.

Thank God i found some place to vent out the Crab. Some place i could register all that the Crab tells me. And where Ashen could quietly listen to all the rantings without mixing me anywhere into it.

Thanks to those who ushered me to write. Its the best thing to have happened to me. And they know that i mean it.

Thanks to everyone who read and comment on my posts. I take pride in talking about you guys to my colleagues and friends. Look how wonderfully she writes. Read him, he is awesome. Look at that line yar, how can someone be so brilliant. I talk about each and everyone of you. You have inspired me to write more. To read more. To learn much much more. Thanks.

I have laughed here...Shed tears, sighed, giggled, cribbed, slept, woken up, gotten surprised, sometimes shocked... And, i have loved it. Each and every second of it.

And i shall continue writing.. blogging... The Crab and Ashen shall always be with me. And all three of us shall keep coming back. Here. Where There's no need to prove myself, and I smile at my face unveiled... Im Strong, Im Intelligent, Im Lovely. Here, where I am Me.


Love,
LW
