Two years of Moonlight Roadtrip

A lot can happen over a cup of coffee. And some incredible things did happen this day. A library became the place where I got 'out of the blue' idea about creating a blog being a passionate photographer. First time because of the hard push, an introvert opened her diary for the world. All those unseen poems which I wrote on Twitter in 140 characters and those bookmarked diary pages finally got their right place and I became famous with my #s_he writing! Moonlight Roadtrip is not just a place for me. It's a way towards my meditation. The blog which I started when I  completed teenage! And still going on and on with off the track obstacles!

Every damn time, final exams of engineering were responsible that I successfully delivered the blog without any deadline and page view got increased automatically. That D-Day before every engineering exams improved my writing and thoughts. Three hours in examination hall gave my imagination new wings that I end up creating "Date a girl who writes" being a single girl. (May be that was the reason I was able to write - no distraction ;) )

Without promoting my blog anywhere when I started getting a huge response I drove my confidence to cloud nine. And some racist and offended judgments about writing  broke my heart that I almost dropped writing for months. But there is this old saying that "whatever happens, happens for good". That black time of my life gave me push to fight with my Boggart (demons) and I produced the brightest Patronus of all time. And wrote the blog "Irrelative thoughts about relations" and "The Dementors". Inspiration doesn't just come to you every time. Sometime you have to go to public place so you can observe people, a terrace where thought process works at its best with some alone 'me-time' or just lock yourself in a room with some memories and voilà blog is done.

People says there's always writer's personal experience added in writing but I think other way around. You can know my writing based upon the life I'm living. But how can you know me because of what I write?

When I started blog I used to check the page view and comments continuously, waited long for reviews eagerly. Now I've passed across that stage with such maturity. Page counts don't excite me and if I'm saying this I'm lying.

There are memories connected to blog, thoughts about how I'll start and how I'll conclude, my OneNote password protected diary that no one is allowed to touch, where unfinished articles are waiting that someday I'll be inspired to complete them. Some poems are waiting for the rhyming. My #s_he is waiting for her he to complete the last line of two liners. And above all, the girl with the camera is happy about second anniversary of her blog, which is no more a secret from her parents now. Yayyy..!!
This blogspot is a story which never get started but still fighting the losing battle ! Thank You for inspiration, I write because there is You.
