Why I Took The Plunge With A To Z Challenge


                                                 
                                                 

                         I signed up for the A to Z Challenge. Yes, I did. Then I wondered whatever made me do it when after many days of pondering and cajoling my messed up cranium, an apt theme seemed to elude me. Add to it, the challenge of a post each day according to the English alphabet. The A to Z Theme reveal day came and went. I was still silent, floundering in the deep waters not sure if I could do this. 

                  That's when I decided to pull up my socks and face it squarely. If I have signed up I shall take it to it's finishing line. Although delayed, I see a theme in the horizon. In the month of April I would blog on a list of places I have travelled to or spent some time pitching my tent. Places that have charmed me and continue to do so. April shall be a challenging month. A testing time for a procrastinator like me. Although my blog is not predominantly a travel blog but many of my travel stories have found their way here. I've tried to keep the travel destinations within India, the country I know best with my limited knowledge. I do hope to find many friends in this journey, discover some amazing blogs and learn from each of them.

                   This post is more of  DIY pep talk, invocation of the muses, seeking warm wishes from friends and strength to see me through it especially with a hectic schedule in the Real world too!

  2. Et tu Ilakshee :) I do not know if my eyes will stand the strain - I find them watering after an hour at the laptop and April would appear to be a month where I will need to spend 5-6 hours a day. I don't think I am up to it :(

  6. I had the same thing with A to Z. Only difference was the fact that it's an assignment for my Journalism class. :) mikaylinrocks@ A to Z challenge http://mypantherpride.edublogs.org/
