It was last year that I read about Ato Z challenge. Every body was talking about it,writing about it and perhaps thinking about it. Out of curiosity I started reading the posts of friends about this challenge. Then one day I just filled the entry form,
Now that I had filled the form I took even more interest. In all my waking hours , I was all the time engrossed in the thought ''what should be the theme of my challenge''.I thought and thought but nothing came. I discussed the issue with on-line friends. After much debating I decided that I would write '' Recipes A to Z.''. I wrote a few blogs, but nothing appealed to me. One day all of a sudden I thought, ''why not write about Festivals''. Finally I settled down for ''Festival of India'' Through this theme, my aim was to highlight the rich ancient cultural background of the country. There was no looking back. The theme appealed to me and I started working on it earnestly.
I maintained a diary for this challenge. In this diary I noted down names of the festivals alphabet wise. I jotted down several names. I consulted many books and also the google. I short listed the the names of different festivals, searched for pictures and wrote my posts. Before the scheduled date, my blog was ready. I did not have to rush for writing every day.
Now I come to this year's challenge. my theme for this year is A B C of Good Living. In our life we have to face many hurdles. To overcome these hurdles we require certain qualities which will help us to lead a better life. In this challenge I propose to write the qualities which are essential for leading a meaningful life. I propose to write most of the write ups in simple language, some may be in a form of a story, some may be in poetic form and some may be based on my personal experience.I have deliberately selected topics which can be useful to every one. I expect that the topics selected by me will appeal to young and old alike. I have kept the language very simple so that people of all ages can read it .
Bye till then!
