My Debut Blog


I have been thinking of writing my debut blog for a long time now.  Eventually, the day arrived and here I am presenting you my debut blog.  I should not forget to thank a dear friend who has been pushing me very hard to start and share my own blog.  Thanks Priyanka!!! For pushing me hard else this would not have been possible.

Alright, now that I am here, I must share with you all how hard it was for me to write a piece for my blog…oops my ‘debut’ blog.  I believe (personally) that there had been lots and lots of hindrances.  Although I am into writing for quite some time now but creating my own blog was ‘a task’ for me.  I had apprehensions how will I be able to create, how or most significantly WHAT am I going to write in my debut blog?  This of course took a long time to decide but as I said above thanks to my dear friend, Priyanka who invariably pushed me..wait a moment, I should say praised me of my writing skills to initiate a blog of my own.  (She has always been very kind and sweet to me.) 

The hindrances I was talking about were not actually hindrances.  It was ‘Time’ that I was not able to manage to write.  A woman has so many roles to play.  I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a daughter in law, a sister and an entrepreneur.  Gosh!!! I have so much in my mind and so much to cater to the roles I play that writing a piece for my own is downnnnnnnn there in my list.

Sometimes I think “Is it always had to be like this”???  I have no time; I mean no fixed time to do the things I want to do.  I am on my toes from morning till midnight.  I am taking care of the house, my kids, my office, my husband (another child, that makes the total number of children in my house three..hehe..)

Anyhow, one fine day I thought ok now today I will at least sign up on blogspot.  Thinking, “It will give me a boost to write once I sign up.”   There I go…got stuck to what name should be displayed?  I thought and thought, the days passed and I kept thinking.  See, its ‘Time’ again that I was not able to manage.

I messaged Priyanka, if she could suggest me a good name.  Instantly (as expected) I got a reply from her asking me what is the area I want to forte in after which the name should be decided. 

I wrote back, “I have no particular interest and that I want to write in general.  Immediately, I opened the sign up page and started filling my particulars.  I don’t know how but the title just came into my mind and I filled in there the title called ‘Sentiments’.  It then asked me about my display name.  I surely didn’t want to self praise and write such a name and thought why not give my call name, which is Coocha.  This name has been given to me by my dear hubby.  He calls me by this name from the day we met until today and forever.

So, the baby steps were almost over and then I decided to take a leap by writing my debut blog.   

This is all that came to my mind and is now right here in front of you.  It is a general piece of writing (Sentiments) and I hope you like it.
