My first Blog post!

Alas, My blog is ready! :) After much ado and brainstorming, I've decided to inundate my blog with posts related to TV Shows, Photography, Relationships, Food Reviews and just about every little thought that keeps my mental wheels churning! :) 

So what really flexes MY gray matter?  Well, Facebook was a prime player when it came to that topic! But that's on hold for the time being. Just realized I spent WAY too much time on FB, that it turned into quite an addiction! Put in 4+ years of your life into it and you will know what I'm referring to here. NET equaled FB to me! Just had to log on to FB every waking hour of the day, be it the mobile or the laptop. Technology ensured being in constant touch even on the go. Soon, FB just became a huge part of my existence. Any new pictures taken would have to be posted, any new meeting with an old friend had to be made known to all, notifications had to be responded to, and all the changes that went on in my friends' lives had to be made known to me! It all came down to just ONE thing in the end: ATTENTION! Was that what I was turning to be? An Attention-Seeker? o.O Looked like that was what was happening to me whenever I was online, which happened to be for most of the day (and night)! Thus began the need to grow out of that addiction and utilize my time in a more fruitful manner. 

So the first step towards that was to DEACTIVATE my FB..Atleast till I am able to bring that gnawing constant need to be on it, under control. Next, the time spent on TV Shows had to be curtailed and instead, focus had to be on brushing myself with whatever I'd once learnt in school so I could crack some B-school entrance exam. Ended up watching Vampire Diaries all the time while my FB was deactivated :P Learnt that it didn't really end up serving the purpose in the first place! :| All I was doing was Eating, Sleeping, Social Networking, chatting over the phone, watching TV; all of these, to a fault! Well, Its good to get out of a routine and in the beginning, its very enticing to just keep living this kind of life but then you reach a point where you just get sucked into the vortex. So I decided to put an end to this mundane existence of mine, included going for MORNING WALKS into my daily schedule, which actually helped in following the adage "Early to bed and Early to Rise". Last, I decided to start BLOGGING to pen down my thoughts instead of just spending my time over nothing really all that important (aka FACEBOOK and all mentioned above). 

So here I am...Blogging about the foodophile that I am. And about the little things that intrigue me! :)
