Striking off the to do CHECKLIST - Blogging Done..!!!!

One permanent thing that I have always witnessed about myself is a long checklist of the works to be done which no wonder how hard I try keeps on increasing irrespective of the things that I proudly keep striking off each time I accomplish any of those tasks.

In the urge of doing everything I always have a lengthy checklist and then doing each of the tasks on the checklist passionately is the obsession which reflects on the checklist permanently glued on my study table.

Making a checklist is one of the important things that I learn t at my first job where my boss made sure we penned down each task given to us to make sure that we don't forget any of them. I never knew ( for that sake even my boss didn't know) that this checklist habit will become an obsession with time and I will never be able to do without it.

So, as usual today also my checklist is as long as President's or that of any other celebrity. Its not that I don't make efforts to finish those tasks, of course I follow it diligently but its the matter of prioritizing things on the checklist I believe.

Blogging is also one of the tasks on my checklist (highlighted in red since long), something I have been passionate about,I’ve known about them, written about them, followed other’s blogs fervently but to take the plunge myself has taken me a while, or I should say a neighborhood aunt to open my eyes.

The other day while I was waiting for the driver outside my house to leave for office, a neighborhood aunt stopped buy and started a general conversation. From how my office is going to how my dress was looking, she suddenly threw a question which of course I couldn't handle.

With a mischievous smile she said, " Finished with studies, got a good job, so now enjoying surfing profiles on shaadi.com?" . Suddenly the driver honked and I took her leave but her statement kept on bothering me and on back of my mind my checklist of course!

I thought, " I haven't even reached LinkedIn yet and people are talking about Shaadi.com. Funny but true!"

And  with that I decided to revamp and revise my checklist and hence start blogging at least, something which I wanted to do way before the day I would register on any of the matrimonial sites.

Then the next question what to blog about, again went down my checklist and found myself bit confused, probably the same confusion which refrained me from blogging so far.

Yesterday when I saw a post that one of my colleagues had shared on her facebook wall which said, "I buy books like some women buy shoes". And that's where I striked my mind and my heart that books are my first love, something for which I am passionate the most and hence I am here with my BOOK RACK, a blog which talks about books, bookworms, authors and of course obsession with books.
