A decision to grow as a freelance blogger

Better late than never. After five long years of hibernation I feel liberated today. Today is a day of realisation. I have been struggling with myself for long while now. A struggle to know myself; a struggle to  rediscover my lost goals. 

The year 2006 was a special one for me. I graduated in Masters of Computer Science. Also it was special because I was lucky enough to find a job immediately. I remember, our results were not out yet. In just a month after I finished my final semester exams I was absorbed as a lecturer. My students were just two years younger to me. Yes, I had already began giving lectures to under graduates in computer science. I was enjoying my work and slowly getting used to the new classrooms and lectures, was a student a month ago and now a lecturer.

The year 2007 brought in another turning point in my life. I found the love of my life, I got married. Then relocated to Bangalore. For all the obvious reasons I could not get back to work. Settled down happily for the role of homemaker. But, deep down some where I was unhappy of not doing anything worthwhile in life. 

My life continued to be a dilemma. 

The year 2009, I got the gift of my life. I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy. I started my new journey of life as a mother. This is such a wonderful phase of a woman's life. Motherhood has its own two faces to uncover to a new mother. I happened to see both the sides. The least I could do was thinking of what next?

The year 2010, I seriously started considering work from home options. This way I will be able to pursue my interests and also not have to stay away from my child. But what, was the next question.

It's now 2012, today is 8 April, and I have made my mind to choose the freelance writer as my career. This journey of writing all begun soon after my marriage. I discovered the concept called on-line diary or the blog. I started a blog on Rediff.com to kill the time. I slowly started gaining interest in writing.  I began to browse web randomly to know more about blogging. I came across bloggers who are were freelance writers. This was a topic I needed to explore. Meanwhile I started concentrating on improving my writting skills. I wanted to jump into the pool of freelancing only after preparation and research so that I don't drown.

Here is my first blog which I no more use- HaveSomeHoney. And my second blog is HaveYourShareOfHoney which I still peek into once in a while. I actually gave a second thought before including these links here. I was a hopeless writer then (I really feel so when I read those posts today). But then I know I have evolved steadily. I am sure I must show it to you guys. I still have to go a long way as far as producing a good content is concerned. But there is nothing going to stop me. 

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

Now is the chance to make a career transition and I will for sure not let it slip out of my hands. I know I can make it and I will for sure give a try (and that only to succeed).
