Thank You for 50,000 Views

I stared at the keyboard for a long time, trying to figure out what an appropriate start to this piece should be. The silent keys did not help, and so I decided to start typing and see what happened next.

Writing for me was a selfish hobby. It was born out of the realization that the answers I wrote in English were pretty good and the support of my then English teacher, Ms. Jhuma Ray helped me a lot, as did the support from my mother and father.

I used to scribble stuff down in diaries and then lose the diaries so one day; I decided I was going to write on the computer instead. 

While I was typing out some article, I forget now what it was; I got an email from my sister Susrita Sen, which had one line and a link. The line said “Read my blog” and below that was the link to her blog.

About a week later, I wrote a critique on Harry Potter and decided I would put it somewhere and so, in November 2010 I founded From Life to Me, which at the time was called Revolution Roulette. I posted the Harry Potter piece and then I forgot I had done so and the blog didn’t see another post until later.

From the second post to now, it has been a phenomenal journey. I have discovered so much about writing. I have had tremendous support from my family and friends. I realise that perhaps this can be taken further and I might write a book (if ever I get the patience to)

It also would have been impossible without YOU. Yes YOU, who are reading this now. I couldn’t have done this without YOUR support. YOU are essential to this blog’s existence and I hope YOU will accept my heartfelt thanks for letting me reach 50,000 views. I hope YOU will stand by my side for the next 50,000

Who are YOU? YOU are the person reading this. YOU ROCK. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I remain, yours truly
