Idea for a series of posts!

I don't know what to call this phase in life. But it's very different from any of the ones I've been through before. Melancholic, ecstatic, boring, enthralling all at once, maybe oxymoronic would be a good word to describe it.

But one thing I can't deny is that it has been filled with defining moments - moments of awe, moments of gratitude, moments of extreme pain, moments of dreams coming true, moments of adrenaline rush, moments of fulfillment - what not. As they say, life's not measured by the number of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away. I've had quite a few of them I believe.


So inspired by this, (no I don't wanna attempt to copy it) http://1000awesomethings.com/ and this http://www.ted.com/talks/neil_pasricha_the_3_a_s_of_awesome.html I decided I would write super briefly (as if that would ever happen) about these moments, one by one. I have had the opportunity to experience things that many don't get to. I have yearned for things that not many want. I have tried to be someone that not many people would imagine themselves to be. But I think hailing from where I do, being the person I am, surrounded by the people I am with, traveling half the way across the globe when I was barely 21 gavage fed me with a million such moments worth remembering.

Yes, the flip side to it is that this blog would become a diary of sorts, but hey, isn't that the secret behind facebook's success? Everybody loves being in somebody else's shoes, peeping into somebody's windows. Here I throw the doors of my life open! Some posts might not be good for public reading, those shall sit in my drafts. Nevertheless, they need to be documented. Not just because I want to be a grandma with awesome stories for my grandchildren, but because they would bring a smile to my face and I personally value nostalgia a lot, probably more than I should.

Let's see how I fare.
