My First Blog(!)

Finally! After ruminating over the idea of creating a blog, and procrastinating for a longer period, I succumbed to the pressures that come with boredom and created one! Little did I know that the biggest obstacle that I would face was naming my blog… I filled in name after name after name… I thought of names which according to me were unique, extremely different, something that nobody would have thought of… but alas! Too many people had similar thoughts… after consulting my erstwhile dictionary, I came with this not-so-unique name- Iconohclast…. Yes, it is a made up name…well… I wouldn’t really say that I defied well-established principles and/or customs by adding that “h” and NO, I did not consult any numerologist (!), but then, a slight modification was imperative in order for me to proceed with my blog!!! I know, I know, its not too great, but then….what the heck?

Am a novice of sorts though, so… yes, I would begin with unintelligent write-ups and hope to become as good as my fellow-bloggers gradually…

I heard of blogs for the first time two years ago… but back then, I wasn’t really interested in writing “pieces”. I’ve been more of a poet actually. So I was busy honing my skills in that sphere. However, off-late the blogger-bug has been paying me a visit repeatedly and has been egging me to move beyond the portals of poetry!! (Was that a bit too much??) And thus begins my journey… Was too eager to post my first input but I never really knew what to begin with, so kicked it off with my poem… don’t know if it’s a good start really…. But as they say, ‘something is better than nothing.’
