The
last few days saw a very irritable and dead side of me. As if life had become a
boring pendulum that oscillated between office and home. The mind went on an
auto mode with this mundane routine. I didnt feel any zing when I woke
up in the morning and the day didn’t offer anything to look forward to. Evenings too, became a routine affair. While my colleagues would be happy, calling
a day off and discussing their evening plans, I would simply sit back and immerse
myself in work.
Perhaps,
all this was to escape the horror of staying away from my passion – blogging.
Once a blogger, nothing gives you more joy than sharing your views with others
and nothing gives more pain than an inactive blog and dipping page views.
My
laptop, which was my window to the world of blogging, gave in to senile decay.
Often, in the middle of blogs, the laptop would heat up and black out, making
me pull my hair in frustration. I tried to blog through the tab, but old habits
die hard and my fingers yearned for the keyboard. Every day, I would read
blogs by fellow bloggers and wish when I would strike back. I almost stopped
looking at blogging contests and book review offers, for better to make
commitments when one can fulfill them. Movies and outings no longer seemed
enticing, for I could no longer blog about my experiences. After few days, the helpless mind too,
stopped buzzing with ideas.
While
I didn’t cry or crib, for I knew our busy schedules, Mr. Hubby noticed the frustration
in my silence and this weekend, decided to take things in his own stride. He
took the laptop to the service center and the technician gave it a fresh lease
of life. When he surprised me in the evening with the news, I was all elated
like a lover reunited with his lost love!
This
morning became so special…
I
woke up to a hyperactive mind, buzzing with ideas. It didn’t even wait for me
to finish the bed tea or catch up with newspaper. Finally, I had to jot down
the ideas which would fuel my blog for the days to come. When I saw my blog
after so many days, it welcomed me with open arms and surprisingly, there was
increase in page views too. They say it is separation that makes us realize the
value of something, and this separation has been tough for me. But, it feels so
good to be back since I can share my feelings, views and experiences once again
on my blog, and connect with the awesome friends blogging has gifted me!
