The story behind Here I Scribble — October Blogging Challenge Day 4

Writing has always been dear to me. It is my preferred way of communication— to other as well as myself. Whenever I am confused or overwhelmed, writing helps me. I love writing in my journal, and reading it at random times later. If I have to tell someone how much they mean to me, I'd prefer writing a letter. If I am to explain myself, I am able to put across my feelings and thoughts much better in writing. Even random scribbles in a notepad somehow help me relax.

When I first started blogging, it was because of a stay-at-home situation. All thanks to the reckless people on road! I met with an accident and had an ankle fracture, because of which I had to stay in bed for few months— which made it really hard to keep any private journal. A friend of mine suggested keeping an online journal, and I stumbled upon Blogger trying to find an escape. That's how I was introduced to the blogging world. Although once I joined, it wasn't so much of a journal. I took my scribbling on last pages of notebooks and journals to the blog, and now Here I Scribble.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked. Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from. We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different. What if I studied harder in school: I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job: I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
