Welcome, the 23rd of March !!
This day brings the wonderful moment,
Merry and gay, full of enjoyment,
When we, the A-to-Z-ers, join hands,
To brandish our beloved magic
wands…
Revealing the paths our pens
would take,
And the world of words we would make,
Of love, life, laughter and fun,
Twenty-six letters to get the job
done !
Four weeks in April will see us
paint,
Words so eloquent, pictures so
quaint,
Varying themes, and topics to
choose
I’m sure, it’s a challenge for
the muse !
We’re soon completing the first quarter of the Calendar year
2015, and in comes April, bringing with it the A to Z Challenge.
For those who are new to the idea, the A to Z is an Annual
Mega Event in the blogosphere, that brings together more than 2500 bloggers
across the globe. Through the month of April, we write for 26 days , each day’s
post signifying a letter of the English Alphabet , beginning with A on
April 1st, B on April 2nd and so on.
Oh yes, Sundays are off,(for good behaviour, as the wise say
:D ) so that all 26 letters get perfect and comfortable space on our blogs
:)
The bonus is, we can write about anything and everything.
You choose to have a theme ? Go ahead. Zero in on a theme
and write your heart out.
No ? Then be as random as random can get !
Just adhere to the letter of the day, and have fun :)
We’ll have to write our posts, and then catch up with our friends who are participating as well.
That’s the way we show the spirit of support and
encouragement :)
We get to write a lot, read a lot more, find like-minded
bloggers, get introduced to many new bloggers, forge friendships, form groups
and most importantly, grow !!
And guess what ? That’s double the fun guaranteed!
Win-Win :)
Last year, for my first A-to-Z, I had pitched in with 2
posts a day, 1 as a part of a series, and another on a random topic, mostly Drabbles.
So this year, for my second A-to-Z, what am I writing on, you ask me. I hear the question.
Here we go…
*Drum Rolls Please*
Here’s the Theme …..
A, B ,C, D, E ,F,
G, H
A story in series, I’m waiting to
sketch….
I, J, K, L, M, N, O,P
No easy job ,it’s going to be…..
Q,R, S, T, U, V
I’ll try my best , a promise from
me…..
W and X and Y and Z
Come April, and we’ll go ahead !!
Yes, it’s a story in series,
this time too.
Unlike last year, I am limiting myself to 1 post per day.
The main reason being, a short trip to India in April.
I shall be away for the second fortnight of the month, and
that means I’ll have to schedule the posts in advance so that I’m still in the
game :)
(And managing two posts a day will be like biting off more
than the chewable portion of my daily diet :D)
Come on, let’s put our brains to
work,
Allow our thoughts to run berserk
:D
With open hands, let’s welcome
April,
Looking forward to the days of thrill
!
Let’s pour our hearts out as
words,
Fly around the blogosphere like
birds,
Join hands to rock the A-to-Z,
And bask in the warmth of the joy
that is spread !!
I am excited.
Aren’t you ?

When wet with the raindrops of emotion
I shake myself off and on …..
And then…
Deep inside my mind’s ocean,
A poem is born !
Here, I end my silence on the blog , that has lasted for
more than five months.
I still can’t believe that I have kept quiet for so long a
time, because that’s quite unusual for me. I am a chirpy, talkative,
always-running-around kind of a person.
I really don’t know what caused the lull. I just know that I’m
not liking it.
But hey, I’m back !!
Thank you all, for supporting and for being with me !!
