Its ten years since I started
this blog - The Journal Journey. First blog published in Jan 2010 and then it became
a part-time interest..!!
Why it all started? Well it was
mix of reasons- an idea came in discussion with friends, along with a need to
record the contemporary issues in a place which can be munched sometime in
future. Off course I don’t have hesitation to accept there was long gap in the
continuing the posts and the actual momentum gained much later.
There are occasions when new
articles was posted on regular basis and there are years when I have posted sporadically,
nonetheless ensured the blog is alive till date. In this period was able to
cover many contemporary issues ranging from self-reflections to politics to environment
to travel and being nostalgia.
Thanks to all the encouragement
from readers. I still remember had shared my first blog link to some known
contacts through mail seeking feedback. I should acknowledge, for most of the
blogs till date have got reaction, either through comments directly in the blog
or in person connects. I also enjoyed
the moments when people asked for new one whenever there is delay, such query creates
motivation to write further.
In this ten years lot of changes
has happened in all of us including our connects, interests, hobbies and one
notable change is the reviewed interest in our “Indianness”.
With this background, from 2020
will be adding “Indology” series along with continuing the contemporary topics.
Under Indology (meaning - related
to Indian history, literature, philosophy, culture etc.) will be posting articles
on some unknown facts, lesser known mythological characters and stories, historical
topics, mystical subjects . Wish I will be able to give justice to this vast subject
called India and its unique history.
Eagerly looking for feedback and
suggestions, as always, expecting it to continue…!!
