Confessions of a Wary Hand
I do not write much.Writing to me for the past few years has meant jotting religiously the Things to do Today List everyday at work and finding great satisfaction by marking them complete just before the 5 pm bus, a promise to be consistent with my diary and still managing to put only occasional entries in it or more recently making a list of groceries to buy.
A Writing History, Eh?
When I was in school I've been told I write or draw nice by my mom, a few relatives and some friends,whenever I made these paper greeting cards scribbling happy Birthdays and anniversary wishes, with cartoons and color. My engineering friend took a giant leap and said I could write a book.....! For the past few months, my new husband advised blogging. I usually got away saying, blogging is for people who prefer to type than talk.He being his usual patient self, loaded with patience, smiled and said thats not what blogging is about. I knew that, to be true I was too lazy to start writing .... writing something new....something that I felt
But then i do start my blog:
The word Scintillate was what came first to my mind when I thought of my blog title. A noun form of scintillate would sound more appropriate, I thought. So Scintillations made way. I wanted it to look a little different so wrote S-C-I-N-T-I-L-L-A-T-I-O-N-S as the title, but the url would'nt allow me to use the same word way and the word scintillations.com was already taken. It suggested Sri-scintillations or Scintillations sri instead. Well it did'nt fall good on my ear. Then I thought why just a word, let me use two words, how about Sense and Brilliance. I liked it, but with my love for alliterations, the phrase of Sense and Scintillations doomed upon me. I always feel the choice of Like and Love is easy, the latter always thrives, is'nt it? So I am here with the blog title and url as Sense and Scintillations by Sri ........Phew!

"I've been told I write or draw nice". Understatement of the year. This 1st post itself is testimony to the fact that she has a lot of potential to write what others want to read, a lot. Atleast, it is very true for me. And thanks for the compliment on the patience :)
