Being Myself..

Hello fellas.. I am another “she” in the zillions

I work as a freelance writer….I am passionate about writing as I love to write on a lot of topics from interesting ones like life to relation, love, humor and even technical topics like stuxnet virus, iPhone apps or social marketing and seo as well.

Why I Love To Write…

Along with being an avid writer, i am an avid reader as well. I had always dreamt of having my own blog and lo the dream turns true. I intend to keep updating the blog daily as and when I come across fresh topics.

Some random fun facts about me…

I love green eyes as I believe they have a charm of their own…

green eyes

I love to get drenched in the rain

I am a passionate poet who loves to wrap her feelings in verse..

memories-

Looking to know more people and explore their culture, tradition and way of living…

life

So, now that you are reading this page, i would request you to take out time from your busy schedule and visit a few blogs of mine and give me valuable inputs because I believe it is the inputs from random strangers that can help you refine who you are..

So, pour a cup of coffee and let’s go for a ride….

i will be waiting…:)

The blog celebrates my journey..!

    Hi Shruti… Liked your presentation; new to indiblogger. Interesting Themes and topics to ponder and exclaim at… Thinking it would be nice to get some tips from you to re-furbish my blog; Junkyard of Thoughts. Hope you get time to visit there too… seemingly you have a platefull I assume… anyways am from Kolkata and it’s always nice to meet someone with equal amount of interests in same subject; nicer even to meet a co-blogger. If you ain’t that busy…:-)

    I hope you are well. I enjoy your posts and reading your words. I am slowly trying to find my voice as a writer and I was playing with some flash fiction and I wrote a short story on my site “She knew he lied”. If I am not imposing and I respect your thoughts, would you take a look at it and share your thoughts? If I am asking too much, I understand.

        Thank you…I am just looking to see if the characters seem real and if the hook I used at the end of each chapter worked. I wrote it as flash fiction, just what came to my mind as I sat down and wrote, with no revision or editing. You will be able to tell I played with a few different genres and it is truly experimental for me. Thank you.

    My mother has green eyes, but unlike any I have seen before. Mine too would change to green as a child but in the end the blue of my father’s ancestors won the day. I will read your blogs and I will definitely give you my honest opinion. I beg a little time from you for I am new here and I too love to read. I feel as a child in a candy store with free reign to devour as much sugar as my willing belly will allow. The blogosphere has reignited my love for the internet. How rude of me, I am Jeff. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I look forward to reading your past posts, when reality permits as well as your future posts. -jm

I don’t know if I have come across ‘you’ or ‘your blog’ before… there is a strange magnetism that pulls me to read more and more.
