Grammar Nazi no more! And a BIG Thank You!

I swear I was better at grammar and English in general. I even won a couple of spelling bee and essay writing competitions. (That was in high school before you think I'm boasting too much. It was not a big deal really, just saying I wasn't too bad.)

And then came the obsession with the internet and later, my medical school work, having to read through piles of books trying to store all of it inside my whimpering brain, and the proportionately decreased time I spent on light (read happy) reading.
I did spend lots of time watching movies or videos on YouTube. And predictably online social networking and the meagre amount of socialising took a huge chunk of my 'free' time in those days.

Sometimes I find myself writing/typing a word and it just doesn't seem right. Maybe it's because I have seen the word misspelled in a dozen ways on the web already and now my mind is messing with me.

But it really is a downer, you know. And I feel like my vocabulary has crumbled down to half of what it was. So much for being an-almost-Grammar-Nazi only a few years earlier. (If there was anything that stopped me from being a total insufferable G-N, it was shyness and not a lack of self-righteousness!)

Anyway, on a happier note:


I've been thrilled to find a lot of great blogs ever since I've started reading blogs a while ago.
Every one of them, the witty posts, the poignant memoirs, the ambitious works of fiction or the inspiring art-y posts. They are like a breath of fresh air every time I find an interesting post to read or a beautiful photo/artwork to look at. And I'm always looking for more awesome blogs to dig into whenever I have the time.
I like to think that I can connect to the bloggers on a personal level, and it's always nice to know that someone else in the world shares my views, even though I don't know them in real life. I hope I can make a few blogger friends too to swap stories like penpals did till a decade or two earlier.


Heh! I think I'll put a stop to the blogger-love pouring out of me now.
And end with a toast!

To all the nice blogs I've found here and to all the times they've made me happy and excited and inspired! :)
