I am a little embarrassed. It’s I don’t know which attempt to relaunch this blog. 3rd, 4th, 5th? I feel like this blog has become like Rahul Gandhi (due apologies to him for cheap shot). Where I keep launching and relaunching this blog every few years with new enthusiasm, but I fizzle out in a few days time.

I am trying to reboot myself, yet again. Who knows this time this attempt might be successful. Afterall, I don’t have anything else but to keep trying.

So why yet another attempt? For past many years, not writing consistently has left a void in my personal life. Writing regularly is really important for me to keep myself grounded. I think of myself as a someone who feels more comfortable expressing through written words than verbally. But life takes over again and again and I lose the flow.

And this causes a certain hollowness inside which I can’t fully express . It’s like some part of the life is incomplete. So, I keep coming back every few days, weeks, months or years trying to write hoping this time it will stick. Just this time.

Nobody likes to lose, especially again and again. I won’t make any grand promises this time. But I just hope I post at least one blog per week throughout the year. It would be a pretty grand year if that happens.

I strongly encourage you to read New Look New Style to know more about this blog’s revamp and motivation behind switching to new personal domain. This has been 2 years in the making with countless hours and days spent, migrating and polishing it ‘just the way I like’. As I said, I don’t know where I will take up this blog, but I am proud of the technical, behind the scene, efforts exerted.

And while you are at it, if you have some time you may also want to check out past few blogs which I wrote in last couple of years, but never made them public yet.

You could have done countless other things, but I am grateful that you chose to spare sometime to read my thoughts. I don’t know if I would ever be able to add anything good to your life through these blogposts. But I sure would like to repay this debt some day. For now God Bless us all.

“Jai Shiv”

PS: The ‘Reboot’ was deliberately scheduled today and not on 1st January as originally planned. Today is my son’s birthday! A Very Happy Birthday to him. More than him, I hope I am able to make him proud by being a great father. If he becomes stronger, smarter, kinder and more successful than me, then it will be worth all the efforts.
