Thank you!

 I have a reader! For my blog. And I am ecstatic!!!

When I revived my blog and decided to start writing again, having an audience was never in the cards. A decade ago, every post of mine had interaction. Friends and strangers leaving comments. Emails. Heck, even a marriage proposal (which obviously I declined!).

But despite the contents, back then, I basked in the glory. Knowing that my writing was read and appreciated. Because being a writer was all that I had ever wanted to be. Publishing my own book (has to be a best seller!!) has been the biggest dream of my life (that still keeps eluding me).  

But now, when I finally jumped back here, with renewed enthusiasm, unlike my previous years, I did not make any public postings or invite audiences to my blog. I kept it on the low. Possibly because of my fear of judgment, as most people in my social life now don't know about my prior life. 

But an anonymous email yesterday, checking in after my last two posts - Thank you!

Per my head and heart mutually agreed policy, I will not reply to anonymous emails. But I take the opportunity to post here. Thank you for telling me that my posts are being read and loved. Thank you for taking the time to make sure I am okay. 

I guess I am not really okay, in the true sense of it. But I am as okay as okay can be. Some days, I crave the romance of a miserable life. And on some days, I live the whimsical life of an eccentric author. Most days, I try to be worldly sane. Or remind myself that I have to be just sane.

But thank you! 

There is nothing that makes an author as vain as knowing that there is an audience. Maybe this will inspire me to put up some happier posts.

And next time you are here, please do post comments. I love the interaction.
