Happy Birthday

Hellllloooo all….Hey….aren’t you asking me why such a loud and vigorous hello today? Is it something special?? Then, I really need to tell you…yes, there is!!!

Just last year, I had sat surfing through the net, read blogs but never commented and then suddenly, an idea popped into my head while scrolling down some blogs that why don’t I start one myself, huh? Frankly, at first I was reluctant and hesitant. My mind echoed with thoughts that, “It isn’t meant for you. You are too young…..blogging is for adults. The blogosphere is a “No Entry For Kids” and only an OLDIES ZONE (oldies is my creation and refers to adults….not being cheeky LOL!)

Then my optimistic and angelic side took a strong hold. It said, “Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. Someone has to do it….someone has to begin so why not you? And anyways, there are many other kids out there who blog about technology and stuff. Then the pessimistic one whispered, “But do you have any knowledge about technology and are you adroit enough?” Then I said, “Yes, I’ll post my writings and things that interest me! Poems, strange news, kids, creative writing, stories…….and what not! I’ll make it an interesting read and try it my best.”

And eventually, my blog- “Delve Into The Mind Of A Budding Blogger” was given birth in August 2007^t, with the help of my pillar of support- Dad. And once I got into it, there was no looking back. Every day I learnt and discovered something new. I intermingled with like-minded people and shared my thoughts through comments and it really helped to let others know, I am there!

It helped me take responsibilities, helped me utilize my time instead of whiling it away, helped me build the curiosity and enhance my courage to speak up, helped me improve in my writing skills and thought process, improved my inner self and told me to be a light that shines, helped me enlighten the creative streak in me and most of all, it gave me the valor to show up!

I know I’m in love with my blog….I’m obsessed with it. Obsessed with, thinking what to do next, with writing, reading and commenting. And more than that, I’m obsessed with my readers and their comments which help me understand myself better.

So I wish my blog, A Very Happy First Birthday!!! Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day dear, and may you have many more years like these to come :)

And I also take the opportunity to express my sincere regards towards all my reader, friends, supporters without whom, this blog would never have reached this height! Thanks a lot to all!

New Templates

Every birthday girl gets an intriguing gift on her birthday….so what’s it for me (or for my blog to be precise!) you ask! Time to reveal the show and pull up the curtains. As all girls adore a new dress, so my blog gets one too! Although I had a wonderful and one of the best template previously, I decided it was time to give my blog a fresh look. I’ve been working on it for a month now I believe. Searching for new templates, and discovered many fabulous three-column blogger templates. Finally, I decided on this one as it’s very simple, sober and easy to adapt! Now, it’s your duty to tell me how the new look looks like? I thought it was cool to have a template which related to my blog content as a diary!

Now, isn’t it natural for the younger sibling of my blog girl gets a new dress too? That’s the reason you will see a new look on my other blog ‘The Writing Pages’ too. The template is simple and relevant! Earlier I had zeroed in on nearly the same (diary-kind ) templates for both the blogs but unfortunately, it would not work well on Delve or on Writing Pages! Please open the site and tell me how it looks! All suggestions and greetings for the 1 year old Birthday baby is welcome….wow….guys, seriously…I cannot believe at all that I’ve been blogging for so long!
