The last couple of months were really hectic… busy by doing nothing. I have stopped working, and that made me busy in some other ways. I had made a list of things to do after I quit. But I realised that I had more time to read and write when I was working. Sitting at home all day means you are at the beck and call of everyone. I had planned to do more freelancing. I had a long list of to-do-things-at-home, longer than the supermarket bill. I had wanted MY time...
Do I regret quitting my job? No, I don’t think so. I had loved my job. I had a flexible job with an understanding boss close to my home. I had variety in my work. And I had enough money to buy those telephone cards which I need desperately. And I really had time for myself. But… sitting at home… I was doing NOTHING. Somebody gave a little kick on my back and asked me to start again. But still, I was lazing around. The excuse? I have no time. So where did those 24 hours disappear from my life? This lame excuse stopped me from discovering more opportunities.
My laptop was in the garage. I had made it an excuse for not writing. I have a desktop, but I wasn’t able to pen down even a sentence there. Something was tugging me back. Now that I got it back, still I am trying to find some excuse.
Today I have had enough of it. I am tired of being lazy. I am sick of playing solitude in the computer. And the kick I got today was a little harder. I jumped with a start, got on my toes, and started to move. The first step was to call back my muse who had been hiding among a pile of clusters. I cleaned the debris, and out came she with a smile. So now, I am back… Back to my old self… Back to my laptop.. Back with that long list in my hand…..

Welcome back to the world of blogging.. With the new found time and the motivation from fellow bloggers like me and your control on the language, you will do wonders..
My suggestion - pick a theme or two and write on it. It could be about your experiences as a working woman, or as a mother of growning up children or on the beauty of Kerala or on your hobbies... this list of choices is endless..
Happy BLogging.
