I am an impulsive person by nature, been working on curbing my enthusiasm, but hasn’t yet succeeded in it…But seriously what was I thinking when i was signing up for blog…oh i remember, my friend shafi’s blog, which by the way is still going strong…You know i felt i had things to say and finally i have a place to say them, but now after the first initial rush, my life is either running for boring and slow or I just don’t work well having things i think i want…I mean i think i know the purpose of me writing this piece, I am hoping by some miracle, I would inspire myself to come here daily and post things…Maybe the issue is that I don’t look at my life as analytically as much as when I was younger…Maybe life is zooming by me too fast and I can’t catch glimpses of things i used to notice before…Or is it that I am afraid if i reflect too much I might see things I don’t like about myself!…I have always been my harshest critic, many people are too, but i have always hoped I can improve myself at any give time if I have the desire…So hopefully i would change my lazy-writing attitude and utilize this blog i created for myself….Khadra

Khadra, I remember very well the day you started blogging. you were enthusiastic about it, and had a lot of things to say. But then it lessened. I thought life has taken it’s toll on you. lool
Don’t be a critic on yourself – instead you can post us the stories you used to write. I remember reading your fist story and being inspired by it, so much so that i started writing short stories myself. I even embellished your own stories to see if i can finish them…;)
Come on, give us someof those brilliant stories…
I understand life can eb a bit hectic, especially with your proffession – but aim for at least one post a week…how about that?

Najmooooooo first of all thank you for reading my blog and giving me a feedback…I am glad you enjoy my style at times I feel as if I am rambling on…And I do hope my blog doesn’t disappoint you later with it’s contents.
Shafi, loool those stories were romantic in nature and still suprised that as a guy you enjoyed them and encourged me to continue writing…I do appriciate your support and I can’t believe I have inspired you to begin writing your short stories, I couldn’t be happier about having an effect on someone…Maybe it is time for me to hit the lake and just sit and meditate and possibly be inspired to write another worthy short story…Keep your eyes open…Khadra
ps. one post of week wouldn’t be so bad right!!!!!

Lool Khadra, romantic or not, they were good. Maybe at the time, they have expressed how i felt and the emotions i couldn’t so eloquently express.
Yes, another story is well worthy… And yeah, i think you could manage one a week!
