Dear Blog,
This month marks your first anniversary. Exactly a year ago, you were launched and today you are an integral part of my life. I know I have become ignorant lately. Between the commitment towards my job, family, professional certifications and slightly serious guitar practice, I have completely ignored you for the past two months, for which I apologize to you. But I want to tell you that every single time I thought about you and felt bad that I have not been able to spend time on you.
This month marks your first anniversary. Exactly a year ago, you were launched and today you are an integral part of my life. I know I have become ignorant lately. Between the commitment towards my job, family, professional certifications and slightly serious guitar practice, I have completely ignored you for the past two months, for which I apologize to you. But I want to tell you that every single time I thought about you and felt bad that I have not been able to spend time on you.
A year ago I made a commitment to myself that I would update you every Friday. It seemed much easier then. I had a good pool of songs and thoughts to get started. I still have the great pool of songs that I composed over the past four years, but as you grew and I started making progress on adding soundtracks to the songs, it became more and more difficult for me to compile and publish the songs consistently.
Today, you are exactly one year old. Just like a baby, you’ve grown. As a baby would start walking and possibly even start blabbering in some cases, you’ve got yourself 12 dedicated followers and an average of 10 hits per day from across the world (visitor map is shared below). Given the fact that we haven’t marketed or promoted you enough in the past one year, the number of hits, seem satisfactory.
I congratulate you on making it through one full year and on this day I present you the same song that I had launched you with – Tere Bina – this time with the soundtrack.
I still look back on that day and wonder how it all happened. There was no planning, no deep thought; just a spontaneous reaction. I was finding ways to share my compositions with others and let everyone know of the hobby that I’d developed. I never thought I would see this day. As a kid, I was an artist – drawing, painting being the primary, then was acting and later it was singing. I always envisioned that my professional career would be that of a painter or an actor, having acted in few TV serials and a Marathi movie with the great Laxmikant Berde. But I never imagined I would compose music and write songs. When I had to take life seriously, I gave up my dream of becoming an artist and instead became a certified IBM consultant. After I got married, when my lovely wife noticed that I have the potential to compose songs, she inspired me to take music seriously and made me believe that I can relive my dream of becoming an artist. And that’s how you came along.
For the future, I have great plans for you, but more of that later. For now, enjoy this day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
- Jay
