You must be wondering that since my life is already so open,what more can I have to showcase..Well the answer to this is - Even I don't know..In fact,this is an endeavour along the same lines only...So let's begin the chase..and formally begin to fill this space :-)
The idea of this blog came from..
Over the years I've got suggestions and encouragement to start my own blog from lots of people,ranging from my friends & seniors at various places to profs at IIM K. Every time, I was against the idea thinking that it's not my cup of tea,as probably I won't have enough content to justify such an effort.But just a day back,while I was celebrating my newly gained independence - the first valentine day after 7 long years,when I could officially claim to be single ,the thought of giving it a try flashed off my head,especially considering that,of late,I have tried to shift myself from a mere watcher to a person who wants to see himself trying out new things,though not always for success but primarily to put myself in various situations and see my response.
Everyone has limits...but we never know our limits,unless our skills have been put to test...The human nature is such that we need to be pushed to find our true potential.So,trying to overcome the two most universal human characteristics -Fear and laziness - today I am writing my first blog post.
Through this space,I aim at..
1) We all are blessed with good friends in this world,but due to the uneven requirements of our lives,we tend to get out of touch.I want to use this blog as a platform to revive all my relationships,relive those good old days and keep them afresh and intact,by sharing my experiences in this journey and requesting others to do the same...asking for their advices,criticisms in various fields I am foraying into,every other day-be it professional career,poetry,MANDYisms :-),photography,video making etc or the life in general.
2) I want to test my writing skills and the quality of content I can generate.Not only my own content, but sharing anything I find interesting (with full credit to the owner) and thus using this space for new learning.
3) Now a more selfish motive...Over the last few years,wherever I went,made friends & acquaintances and managed to gain popularity (or at least people said so)..in different ways..and was considered for special places in many lives & hearts...Today,I would like to see if this is indeed the case or have I been living in world-conceived delusions all these years.I would request all those people to come and show me the real picture so that i can know if i have been successful in marketing myself well or not {so that I can really go ahead with an MBA in Marketing ;-)}
First informal post would be posted soon..Watch this space !!
well mandy.....good job.fuget the language per se, but what matters is 'the idea' and as always ur ideas have depth. ppl think only serious ideas deserve to be termed philosophy but no, in ur case a humour filled thought carries a lot weight than a serious one. so just go on.....waiting for another masterpiece. :)
ReplyDeleteOne honest comment...It was like I was reading some professional writer in the first paragraph..where thinking comes from the heart...it was definitely out of the ordinary.:)
ReplyDeleteAs far as Marketing is concerned?...you are the best judge!!!

ReplyDeletegood start..by 'being mandy'...and i agree that when philosophy and humor combine..you actually move a lot towards sarcasm and satire(based on the tone) and it is one of the best forms of content. All the best!
