Breaking All Records of Taking Blogging Breaks

Posted on January 15, 2015April 13, 2021

I do not quite know what to make of 2015 in the first 15 days. On the first day itself my car got a new scratch and a check that I received for a blogging assignment was mildly torn.  I am hardly sentimental towards my car, but I am quite sentimental for my blog. And yet I took such a long unintentional blogging break, breaking almost all past records! I hope there will be no repeat performance of this sort again in this year. Intentional blogging breaks are allowed.

Other than visiting my sister, which I enjoy a lot, I have not done much by the way of traveling. However, this is going to change from tomorrow. The first trip of the year is about to begin. I am traveling to Chhattisgarh for the first time to attend the Sirpur Dance and Music Festival 2015. I am so looking forward to it.

On other updates, I was planning to take a break in the last week of January. I got quite excited about Kenya only to find you need a yellow fever vaccination to visit the country. And it is available only in select government clinics. That lowered my enthusiasm quite a bit. Then I settled on Bali only to find that my preferred dates were gone. So, I have decided to trek, in January. A small, mild one but still a trek, a freezing cold trek! I am having second thoughts about it every day but I am going to go through it now.

So you know, I do not quite know what to make out of 2015 by the first few days. But then 2014 started with a cancelled trip and it turned out to be quite fine. I am hoping for the same for 2015 too.

Oh and that check was honored by the bank. The scratch on the car, I am not going to do anything about.

    A torn check is never a good thing… I wonder why companies don’t deposit money directly in account and save the trouble of writing check / posting and then reconciling accounts.

    Enjoy the trip to Chattisgarh….
