My very first diary entry. Dated 13 Feb, 2008. I always noted the hour and minute. As a kid, I also used to sign each entry.

I made this blog as an extension of my diary-writing habit of over 16 years.

My diary entries tended to have content, as one would expect, personal in nature—my dreams, aspirations and challenges.

Growing up, I found that others shared the same dreams and challenges. That’s when I realized that it makes sense to put the diary entry contents in article format so that not only do my thoughts get more organized over time but are publicly available for anybody interested to benefit from.

I still maintain a handwritten diary. But the contribution to them is seldom and highly private in nature.
