First Words!

I've never written anything and never even tried to, except a few rhymes and little raps here and there .... that too for having a good laugh at somebody out of my friends when sitting together or when i wanted a little praise for my not so literal work of matching similar sounding words ....

Its been sometime now since Umer(my close friend) for the first time asked me to write a blog and always has tried to motivate me towards books and writing stuff..... I'm little free(sort of) these days and spending my most of the time sitting on my PC so i started reading blogs lately and being impressed by how my young fellows (and of course people of my age) are writing, pushed me towards writing something and again Umer suggesting few days back .....

So I'm here writing my first post .....

The thing that has always hindered me from writing is my hesitation towards my poor English(I feel so) language ... i.e my fear what one would say if I write something wrong or If I improperly convey my idea or what if someone assumes something wrong if write something with humor etc ....

I also do own a problem(I feel) of expressing myself wrongly in words ........ So again a fear of being misinterpreted by anyone.

(I also do know that one can't learn without making any mistakes but still thoughts are thoughts and fears are fears .... :( )

In spite of all this thinking I'm here and will try to write my heart out .... Hopefully readers(if any) of my blog let go my language thing and will just concentrate on the idea and thoughts being conveyed here ........

PS: Posting today on the 4th of Feb. Had composed this on 31st but wasn't sure whether to post it or not.

Thanks.

Fear of public opinion indeed is one of the most gruesome nightmares for us all and it takes a lot of courage to overcome it.

Good luck for future and I wait for you to write more. ;)

Hey .. NOW I remember. I had come to this blog, and had indeed, found NOTHING.

So now you need to change the name of your blog to :D.. er, SOMETHING.

:D .. Kidding. Choose any name you like.

And hello! English winglish isn't important. I mean, I know language details are important (in tests, in assignments etc) BUT.. not in a blog. You can convey your idea ANY way you want.

Also, if you have good Urdu, why not post in Urdu too so that idiots like me can benefit..?

Good work starting off this thing ! Insha Allah you will go a loongg way ...and next year same time, you will be coming back and reading this post with a smile on your face!

Take care!

Reading your first post reminds me of the times I used to write my first post in a blog (I made a few in the past many times and would write very infrequently)...
Hopefully readers(if any)
this feeling of "if any" is a pretty natural feeling, trust me on that....
This world is full of amazing writers, poets, linguists but that probably isn't what make blogs are for but its the person and bits of their life that makes it interesting...
So do write about different things and keep it going....all the best :)

@ Uni

lols at "something". I will definitely post in Urdu also and if someone don't know any language it doesn't make him/her an idiot. :)

thanks for the good wishes.

@ sas

Very rightly said. Thanks for the comment and good wishes.
