Inroduction.........

                 Being the first ever blog, I thought of keeping it simple, a bit introductory - to the whole concept and the substance to be added herein. The idea of giving those blank Blog pages some colours (of life) was constantly striking some innermost chord of my heart for quite some time now. Today, it really feels great and interesting to finally indulge in and get some stuff to pen down. 
         Initially I was a bit baffled as to how to start with and how a blog should exactly be. But, then I decided to make it as I want it to be, a mirror of myself - like a mother would want for her child. And am I wrong in thinking this blog page as my (Brain)-Child? 'I think I am not'. I will not give any particular direction to the readers as to what exactly they should expect from me; rather I would myself leave that to time, situation, my whims and fancies and request my readers to kindly bear with that uncertainty and accompany me in enjoying its excitement. It may seem like reading a personal diary to some but for me it is just a way to let my feelings and emotions reach to some inaccessible and unreachable corners in the world being wrapped in the attire of carefully selected lines and phrases sometimes in the form of a Poetry and sometimes just as a monologue. These write ups will surely hide the actual sensations burning inside while writing them but will carry a soulful breeze to them and it may sometimes hide or under-express the real meaning. My blogs would be a sweet remembrance of a few inspirations which came, made a permanent place, left a mark in my life and have actually driven me. So in every bit, my blogs are going to be a taste of ME, Myself shared with my readers wholeheartedly.   

                                   So, here comes the naming of the profile and the blog page: Stranger and Discovering Myself. ...... I wrote something and shared on a social networking site on April 5, 2014 ---- It is often true that even a lifetime is not enough to understand a person completely. Dedicated to those enigmatic souls of nature, is this:

!!! You are open, to the world around ..You
.........A friend, a companion........
But the world inside,
Your dreams, your thoughts.... are invisible (to it).
The doors are closed, no one can come in.
The box is tightly fastened for anyone to steal from within.
Hidden behind those closed eyes and the evergreen smile on your lips,
Are the real emotions......
Unread, unseen, and unheard of. 
Every portrait of you, speaks a thousand silent words.
You remain a stranger, even to the world which claims to be yours. !!!........

                                  And, we all are strangers not only to the outer world but to ourselves as well no matter how hard we try and claim to know the real self. Actually, we often misunderstand ourselves which leads us to nowhere but pain and loss in life. So, as it takes the entire life to decipher some other person, it holds true even for ourselves ---- we remain Strangers to ourselves. So, to me it's an ever lasting and unending process of unfolding the self each day in a way that is new and different from the earlier ones and rediscovering the self over and over again. This blogging would thus be a reflection, as I walk on this journey of Discovering Myself.........                                               
                                 Now, let me move on a little beyond the conceptualization of my blog; let me introduce myself. After completing a journey of more than 25 years, I found a single word to depict the contrast that I think I am : A contradiction within myself-----I am someone who craves for good company and fears to lose close ones but is never afraid of walking alone. I am a closed, hard to understand book for the world, who can let each and every page loose to someone very close. A complete mad and childish at times (or better say most of the times) but can endure certain blows from destiny with much prowess and strength. I am a person who tried hard to live just for myself, but ended up realizing that it is easier to live for others and more fulfilling to make others happy and see them smile. A person who late but finally realized that life is not just about looking for or living with anyone specific: it is a lonely journey wherein everything is the beginning of an end and we are to make most out of it. Meet people and just make the network bigger. Lastly, a simple word but true for myself----I am - an Extremist - the best friend and the worst enemy.

                              

         At this point I realize that I have reached the saturation level for the day. So, let the rest of this journey reveal itself with time. But one thing I would like to confess is that as I am starting out slowly here in this Blog Page, believe me, I realize that it is quite captivating and I can actually spend all those lazy hours here scribbling something, anything that peeps through my mind......

Now it is over to my readers......... :-) :-)
