The Birth of a Blog

What is the first step towards your dream, your goal ? Some will say, visualize the end. Or others would volunteer, think big.

Well, to me it is the Nike way.......Do It !

This blog is the witness of such "wisdom" (I know this is hardly qualify as wisdom). I have been wanting, dreaming, wishing, longing, yearning, to write. There were times in my youth when I envisaged myself on the podium accepting a literature award. I even had the words of acceptance composed in my head. That was a dream, and there is this reality. I have not in my entire 46 years, voluntarily, completed any finished product of writing. I work under external pressure.. so I have written papers, reports, letters, presentations, speeches........but not one complete "freehand" article. I mean, a writing that is done the way a painter paint his painting. Or a piece that is written the way a pianist composes his piece. Not one, ladies and gentlemen.

So, while having a blog is a mundane event for most, to me it is THE MILESTONE.

This day, 20th November 2008, sees the birth of a very potentially potent writer, Yana Arsyadi who will pour her heart out onto this blog , which is not so co-incidentally also born this very day.

Welcome to my blog.
