Finally, it's one year of penning down, celebrating the joy of writing through ecstasies, afflictions, nostalgia, boredom...

My Best Friend always insisted me that I should have a blog but I was very apprehensive then. I would say, " Bah! Who'll read me?"

But then after having loads of discussions and losing the argument, I finally joined blogosphere.

When I started this blog the only thing that actually bothered me was the content. The regular post that had to be maintained. I was pretty tentative about posting the old poems, stories that were long pressed in the diaries. And when I started blogging there was no looking back. Muse Memoir lived up to its name, stimulating the blue flux everytime. I never really had to open my diaries just for the sake of hitting a post without that state of mind. I got all the inspiration from my right people.

There are loads of people who inspired me during the process. Abhishek aka SiM, is one blogger whom I look up to. The profound content on his blog was a reflection of the infinity of which he often wrote. His style of writing is like none other and so is/are his blog(s). The ambiguity of the former statement is because of hide seek that I often have to play with his blogs. Abhishek is another person who suggested me to start a blog and at that time I was sure, I'll make these two people read my blog if nobody turned up. And then I got immense encouragement from Anwesa di who's been reading me since my very first experience with a blog which was not here but a guest post on Sim's blog. She has been with me since the inception and continues to do so even now. I don't need to comment on her style of writing. She's a princess with the quill.

A lot of people can be called the plinth of this space; Priyala, who appreciated me giving her insight on things which was enlightening indeed. Thousif Raza who was there everytime I opened comments and praised me profusely. Anchit who critcized me at times and lauded me other times. And some who wrote mails to me appreciating the verse that touched them, writhed them, delighted them. I remember every single event vividly.

And then yes, the posts by some blogger buddies that took all my attention at that moment cannot go unmentioned. That lovely verse Ochre  by Aayushi Mehta swept me off totally. And the discussion string at "How deep is your Ecology?" at Anubhav's Realizing the future kept me glued to it for days.The fresh attempts by Thousif trying his hand in poetry was worth appreciating.

A year ago it started and celebrating the same. Dedicating it to NUMERO UNO this time..!!!
