 is the last letter in the alphabet. The one that states the conclusion. At the end of my first ever challenge of blogging the conclusion has been pretty good. While I embarked on the journey to learn and explore; it also made me realize how vast the universe of thoughts is. With every letter I wrote, I grew with my expression, my enthusiasm, and a sense of achievement. While every day pushed me to think more and observe around, it also taught me the following: Express honestly Appreciate abundantly Believe endlessly Work continuously Read ferociously I started as a novice, with a fear of being mediocre. I had my doubts and umpteen number of questions. Though I still believe that I have a huge task of exploration ahead, but I can confidently say my belief in myself has become stronger. I still fear, but I am not afraid to take the risk. I have grown as a writer and that what matters the most to me. This has been an experience that has give...

Recently, we all have been packed with loads of events. We celebrated women’s day, witnessed people power through election results and then completed it with bright and happy colors on Holi. I came across many words during this time period some of them being equality, empowerment, peace, togetherness, humanity, trustworthiness et cetera. The emotions portrayed were beautiful, the messages spread were a delight to grasp and read. But, what bugged me most was that no one talked in depth about the underlying factor of all…RESPECT. Many a times we come across people online, dissing each other, swearing, spreading negativity about people they might not even know in reality. Then there are people around us talking in a foul and disrespectful language with people they assume to be below them.

But, overall we all feel that it is a new start. The question is…is it really a new year, yes; the date changes, we throw our old calendars and replace them with new ones.

We as a human always strive to do our best in whatever we do; we dedicate ourselves to our goals, our aspirations and/or our relationships.
