What is it about writing which is so exhilarating but so intimidating at the same time? The art of writing stretches back to a few millennia when ancient Sumerians discovered the power of the written word. Fast forward a few thousand years and we have us, the 21st century tech-savvy generation. The written word has been digitalised and blogging has taken over from conventional pen and paper as a means of expression.
With so many thousands of bloggers already on the web-space, I felt intimidated to start my own one although writing has been my passion since primary school. With some encouragement from a very close friend and months of hesitation, I decided that it was time to break this barrier of insecurity and start writing. After all, is that not the point of blogging? To express yourself. To put your imagination and creativity into a written form.
Life has been quite the journey so far. Born in Mumbai during the torrential monsoon rains, brought up in the tranquility of New Zealand and now living in the big smoke of Sydney, life has shown me a fair bit of her ups and downs. Well here I am, in 2015, fully enjoying life and taking every opportunity that comes my way. I know it sounds cliched, but that's the policy I decided to live by. I will do what makes me happy.
As I start this second year of medical school, I will also take my passion for writing seriously. This year is going to be exciting. Big plans, big moves, big changes. Keep an eye on this space and tell me if you guys want to know about anything at all!
For now, it has been intimidating enough writing my first blog post. I will keep this introductory session short. What makes Nik tick? Well, a lot of things. Health, nutrition, medicine and fashion are just the tips of the proverbial ice-berg. Well, here goes nothing as I officially start my blogging adventure!
