Happy Birthday To You....








As I stood infront of the lovely cake she baked for me, I started wondering what is it EXACTLY that this lady , my creator is celebrating. Infact, I have been around for the last four years, never was my birthday celebrated before.Why would she suddenly celebrate my fourth birthday?
As if reading my thoughts.....she said,
 "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the fourth birthday party of my loving blog , "Life is colourful". You must be wondering why suddenly after so many years I decided to celebrate my blogs birthday. Let me tell you the reason--whether its good enough is for you to decide. On a certain day in 2008, extremely tired, I was surfing the web, going through mail, reading the newspaper and the sort. My son was playing around me with his toys scattered all over the place.  He was four then.
Coincidentally I came across a blog where a mom was sharing a story about her 6 month old son. It was about  how the kid turned in his bed and held his head up. It was so nicely written and so full of love that it made me smile immediately. Nothing special, I know...all kids do that! But this "small" incident sounded so "special" in her post. I looked up at Arno and the first thought that came to my mind was, "Oh Sh**! Why did I not write about Arno's actions all this time?".
I started writing IMMEDIATELY!!

Unfortunately I do not remember the blog which inspired me to start writing, but whoever it was, THANK YOU. Thank you for inspiring me to give birth to my blog.
What started as mere curiousity actually stayed that way for a while. This is clearly evident from the fact that I wrote 4 posts in 2008 , 0 in 2009 and 5 in 2010! However, 2011 was remarkably different where I had posted 24 times. This is THE year when I really "connected" with my blog. This year saw me making time to write my thoughts..enjoying the comments of my readers..getting boosted by the encouragement of my friends and family..taking more photos with my camera..more photos making their way out of the camera to the computer.. believe me, the pleasure is all mine... Hence the reason to celebrate the birthday.The way it has become part of my life, I hope to celebrate many such birthdays in the future....
My blog is four today..Happy Birthday once again."

Thank you my dear readers, I feel very happy at what she said ..I feel part of her life as well.
