Hello Readers,

I hope you all might be safe and sound during this quarantine phase against the spread of COVID-19, following all possible measures towards the prevention of propagation of this pandemic. As our PM has already declared a complete shutdown for 21 days; a revolutionary step towards battling against COVID-19, staying at home and giving quality time to family, passion, creativity and every other tasks which might have lost its importance in the fast paced life. It’s the time to stay indoor yet let your creative juices flow!

Amidst all moments of sheer panic and chaos created by COVID-19 to disrupt the normal functioning of life, my blog turns 7 years old. We are rejoicing this moment as its birthday and envision it as a 7 yr-old-child. It’s an absolutely great feeling to witness its development from the scratch.  I have shared many personal life experiences at this platform. Just like the blog, I evolved in every sphere by travelling different places and facing different circumstances of life; sometimes willingly and other time with resistance. My relationship with this blog reminds me of a movie which I watched recently, entitled ‘Her’ in which the lead character has relationship with OS; strange enough, yes, right! Somehow gadgets have proved to be better companions of us during the time of need.  

This month of March is a very remarkable month for me as it ended the phase of groom hunting for my parents successfully and found a friend for lifetime. While I got married to my soul mate in a typical Hindu arranged marriage set up to enter into a new relationship with responsibilities, my relationship with my blog has already completed 7 years. So, every moment I spent designing this blog, drafting various blog posts, coming up with a catchy title, sharing our achievements over years, inspiring readers whichever way possible has been just phenomenal and brilliant. It has also provided me certain long-term relationship insights like consistency, dedication, trust which I will definitely implement in my real life.  

We’ve thousand reasons to celebrate life even when we are locked down inside our homes. We have ample of time to reflect on ourselves, our strengths, weaknesses and work on them for improvement. 25th of this month marked as the beginning of the year in Hindu Calendar, in disguise of Gudi Padwa and Nav Ratra. This new-year 2020 has already gifted me so much; a set of new family members to take care of me and an understanding partner who is appreciative of my skills, qualities ,aspirations and visions of life.

It is said that any friendship of 7-years-old lasts for a life time, so I expect this bond through my passion of writing in form of this blog to reinforce with time. May our pens create something productive to render to readers.

With a prayer to visualize a Corona-free world, I again celebrate 7 year anniversary  as well as 400th post with this blog!
