The year was 2006. A June in 2006. That was when I started blogging.

A friend wanted to read some of my writing. Given that we weren’t in college anymore and that he was not even in the country, he was the one who goaded me to take the plunge into blogging.

I am feeling a little bit off today. A little less “joie de vivre”. For whatever reasons.

And such times I take up looking up the internet for random stuff, which most often goes into the category of astrology or such. Today, of course, it was reading about my sun sign.
