Gracias Todos :)

Gracias Todos. Didn’t understand? Well…

‘Gracias Todos’ in Spanish means ‘Thanks to all’. Today I want to thank a few people who really encouraged me to write these articles and in the process of writing these articles I realized that they are not just articles, they are one’s thoughts that are put on these blogs.

Until now I had convinced myself that I cannot write, on a piece of paper or on blogs. In fact, blogs never really interested me, until Aakriti kept sending me everything she wrote. She writes everyday and she writes really well…what she writes spreads positive vibes. At first, I never really liked reading them (yes Aakriti…and please don’t be mad at me for this) but after a while, I kept looking forward to read more and more of what she wrote. Then one day it occurred to me, that why can’t I write something too? I knew, I cannot write as well as Aakriti, but I really wanted to give it a try…wanted to write a small article about something….about anything….but I was scared and unsure if others will like it or not.

One day I was chatting with her on-line, and I told her that I wanted to write too…and I also told her now scared I was. All she told was this “I want to live…CARELESS and free... I want to run through the jungle with wind in my hair and sand on my feet!!! Go write one...me offering u a million bucks!!!!!:)♥”.This she told me just 6 days back…and there I was, writing my first article. May be all I needed was a ‘little push’. Mil gracias Aakriti, for inspiring and motivating me.

There were others who encouraged me too. Thursday evening I started writing ‘About Saaya’, I could start well…but at the end of it, it seemed that I could just not come up with a good conclusion. I felt that this article was a ‘fail’ and I decided not to post it on the blog. I shared this article with some of my friends who were online. They read it; some seemed to like it a lot and others did not find the ending too convincing. That’s when Baban, Ashu(Ashutosh) and Sumit asked me to work on it a little more and I again started writing it, but this time I did not put forward my views (well…I had presented my ideas before posting it on the blog) ,I rather put myself in place of Saaya and viewed life through her eyes. And after that I somehow managed to end the article well. Gracias Ashu, Baban and Sumit for not letting me give up!

I need to thank Prasoon and Vikram too…Prasoon for correcting my silly grammatical errors (well…I don’t know how many errors this one has, as I am not going to take anyone’s help to thank everyone. Frankly, even if it does have any errors…I don’t really care) and helping me decided the title(s), Vikarm for asking me to write ‘not for others satisfaction, but for my own’. Gracias una vez más.(Thank you once again).

Lastly, I want to thank Bhaiya, Amit, Alok and everyone else (really sorry if I forgot to mention your name (es) here) for liking what I write. I don’t know when I’ll write my next article, but I hope you will all like what I keep writing and also keep giving me that ‘little push’ when I am close to giving up!

Mucho Gracias!!
