Reviving memories, i don’t know how this title happened to my blog. It was not one, i had put up after spending hours thinking and imagining. My finger’s had just passed over a few alphabets and they formed words and those words were stitched together and at the end of a few seconds, the thing in the blog title space read “A Journey to the Unknown Spaces”. Back then i had never read more than a couple of blogs and i never knew anything about the blogs and the widgets i could put in and the financial prospects of it.
Frankly at the moment of creation, i never considered it as anything more than a personal diary, or if not so personal- nothing more than a diary, where i could periodically put in my happenings and views and ideas and thoughts and almost anything and everything. And that has been happening too, I’ve posted my random thoughts on a variety of subjects, my way of seeing and understanding certain things, but then i heard that the title of my blog ain’t doing justice to the contents in it, in an online forum. So then i tried to operate my own blog title and tried to find out the meaning of it and what i meant by it.
Is this a travelogue describing my visits to various places ??
No its rather a collection of writings which i have made inside the four walls of my hostel room or the shabby class room or the un occupied seats beside the lake just outside the campus walls. So to the question, is this a collection of travelogues, its a big no!
But then going through it all again, as a whole, isn’t this a travelogue too? If the question ‘to where?’ arises in your mind, to no where.
The journey to tomorrow!! A day or a thing that never comes. This is a travelogue of the journey, called life. A journey filled with high’s n low’s and turns and twists and happiness and sadness. A Journey filled with everything, but nothing. A Journey of which you don’t quite know who you are going to be out from collage, or where you are going to be or what is going to happen the next year, the next month, the next week, the next day, the next hour, or even the very next moment. Its the travelogue of my life, when i travel from horizons to horizons, to Explore the Un-Explored and to get to Know the Unknown.
A Journey called Life, to the Unknown. A Journey to the Unknown Spaces!
A few people have questioned the title of my blog (A Journey to the Unknown Spaces). They expected it to be a collection of travelogues or journey descriptions, and were left confused after seeing the content. This was an attempt to explain the title in my way.
You are right. A journey doesn't necessarily have to be just about travelling. Your blog title is catchy. Even I didn't have cricket in my mind when I named my blog 'Howzzat!'Go on, continue your journey...
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Swetha. Keep coming back to my blog! :) Do go through other write ups as well :)
ReplyDeleteLife is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of explanations of a single thing in so many different ways,of articulation... and so is the title of your blog. Catchy. And interesting. A well written post, mate!
