And, It's A Goal!

~~~

Truth Be Told...

I'm Not An Ardent Fan...

Of Any Sport...

Followed Religiously...

By My Fellow Country'men'...

Or...

Even...

By My Fellow Country'women'...

~~~

So, What Brought Me...

Into Penning This?

~~~

Well, The Folks At P365, Of course! :)

~~~

With A Certain Prompt For May...

Saying...

'GOAL'.

~~~

So, after my hiatus from Blogging in May...

I tried to pen this prompt a few days back...

But...

The FIFA Nearing...

~~~

I found it fit...

To pair this prompt...

With The Soccer World Cup!

~~~

Having said that I don't follow the sport, even religiously or otherwise...

Here's substituting the Soccer 'Goal' with Blogging 'Goals'!!! :D

~~~

Because I'm penning this as a part of Project 365...

And for myself at large...

~~~

Very honestly...

The idea of blogging came to me as an idea of voicing my opinion.

Voicing My Opinion...

Against...

The Pitiable State Of Our Nation...

Against...

Corruption...

~~~

And The Hope Of A New Beginning...

For The Nation...

~~~

Blogging, An Year Back...

Was Not A New Avenue To Me...

~~~

Having An 'IT Professional' Husband At Home...

An avid blogger for the last 7 years...

Jaideep Khanduja.

That was the epicenter of all...

And...

The Rest Is History...

~~~

The Goals From Then...

Have Been Manifold...

First, To Express Self - Constructively, Yet Make A Point, On Matters Of Importance To Our Nation...

Second, To Expand My Reader's Circle - Far And Beyond My Husband And Daughter...

Though, They'll Remain My 'Cushions Of Criticism' & 'Pillars Of Praise'...

Third, To Expand The Horizons Of My 'Blog Genre' To Varied Interests...

~~~

Have They Changed?

No, And Will Never, Hopefully.

A Year...

And Still Going Strong...

~~~

Because...

After All...

It's A...

Gliding Across The Ground, Is Italian Buffon Gianluigi...
Opposing Him At The Opportune Is Germany's Kahn...
Alarmed At An Agile Attack Is Spain's Andres Iniesta...
Landscaping Logically Over Is Brazilian Fabiano Luis...

This is my Thirteenth Post as a guest author to Project 365 : We Post Daily!

The Blogger's Expressway...

~~~

This post marks my comeback after a month - long hiatus from the Blog-o-sphere.

You ask me, how I spent my May?

I was balancing professional commitments with personal responsibilities.

No more about a tiring May on the blog.

I'm back to relaxation, back to blogging!! :)

~~~

I already feel Richer...

 For, the fact that the next two months, are my 'Free' Months, lights up my mind and heart...

~~~

And yet, when I reflect on my year - long journey into Blogging...

I feel I've garnered a lot...

A Lot Of Experiences...

And Of Course...

There Are A 'Few - In - One'...

Keying In The Varied Pointers To The Activity, That Is Blogging...
Enhancing The Many Experiences, The Passion, That Is Blogging...
Yielding The Social Connect, A Circle Of Virtue, That Is Blogging...

To Know That It's Basic Human Nature, To Give And Take...
Acknowledging Another's Effort - Yet Not Only For Its Sake!
Knowing That Heartfelt Reciprocation Only Holds The Key...
Each Time, Rich, Richer, Richest - You Would, For Sure - Be!
And Then, See This Aspect Of 'Genres' To Blogging - Oh Yes!
Wealth Lies In Heartfelt Expression - It's No Work Of Guess!
Also, Criticism Is A Face, Of This Multifaceted, Vibrant Coin...
Yet, Take It In Stride - No Negativity - Dots You Mustn't Join!

~~~

See Blogging As An Adventure Of Its Own - And A Social One At That!

And, You'll Surely Turn Out Richer...

As A Person...

Improving On Various Facets Of Your Personality...

Not As Rich On The Materialistic Front As On The Intellectual One!

Or Maybe, Equally Rich On Both The Fronts?

This is my Eleventh Post as a guest author to Project 365 : We Post Daily!

~*Going Further To Step Closer...*~

Marriage Is One Of Those Relationships...

Which Is Based On Mutual Feelings...

Marriage Is One Of Those Relationships...

Which Never Holds Without A Balance...

~~~

On One Hand, Where Marriage Depends On  #MrAndMrs...

On The Other Hand, It Also Depends On The Family's Reminisces...

~~~

Familial Responsibilities Bind Both #MrAndMrs From The First Day Itself...

 And The Urge To Meet Each Family Member's Expectations Takes Precedence...

~~~

It Goes Unsaid...

Marriage Is A New & Unique Experience For Each Individual...

~~~

Such Is The Story Of Sumeet & Chetna...

A Heart Warming Story...

Where They...

Go Further To Get Closer!


~~~ A Touching Story... Of How... Sumeet realizes the presence of a void in their marital lives, to fill that void was a necessity... Sumeet realizes Chetna's silent aspirations... The ones she never proclaimed to him... But the ones which were always there in her heart... Sumeet listens to his heart and connects to Chetna's heart as well! :) ~~~ This Is Not One Of Your Mainstream Stories... Which Details A Longing For That Fairy  - Tale Ending... And Everything Goes Hunky - Dory In The End! ~~~ This Is One Of Those Unconventional Stories... Wherein Each One Of Us Pictures Ourselves As Sumeet Or Chetna... And Desire To Live This Story As A Reality... With Our Spouses As Chetna Or Sumeet... ~~~ It Is One Of Those Stories Which Invoke A Sense Of Mirroring Emotions... And Invoke A Sense Of Yearning For That Dream To Turn To Reality For Us Too... ~~~ It's All About... How Far Would You Go...
To Get The Closest To Your Loved One?
~~~ In my opinion, it's the heart - connect that works wonders... It's that realization of togetherness that works wonders... Be it a marital relationship... Or any other... ~~~

Fascinating Is The Bond Of Love, Culminating Into Matrimony... Unifying Two Souls As One, Seven Vows Stand As Testimony... Resonates That Necessity Of A Balance, It's Very Unavoidable... Tailoring One's Aspiration - To Match That Of Thy Life Partner... Heralding That Change In Life, Anew - That Itself's A Charmer... Echoing The Voice Of Hearts - All It Takes Is Patient Listening... Reverberates A Love, That Bond Is So Gradually Strengthening...
Transformation Is What It Brings With It - That Vivid Marital Bonding... Occupies The Mind - Care & Love For One Another - It's Enchanting...
Culminating In That Bond There - Is An Understanding - Mutual... Looking Beyond The Words - Listen To The Heart - It's Crucial! Occasional Acts Of Caring, They Touch The Heart - It Is Divine... Searching For Each Other's Joys - For 'Us' - Not 'Me' - We Shine! Echoes This Fact - Far And Wide - We've Taken A Step Farther... Remember, In Doing This, We Discover Ourselves & Come Closer! ~~~ This post is written as a part of 'Go Further To Get Closer' Contest organised by British Airways in association with IndiBlogger.
