About

“The reason one writes isn’t the fact that he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

“I write for the same reason I breathe – because if I didn’t, I would die.” – Isaac Asimov

“A Day In The Life” by The Beatles is a song I dearly love. And this is obviously what inspired the title of this blog. But quite contrary, I have always feared of dying in a road accident so I pray earnestly and hope God forbid that I die this way.

THIS BLOG:
This blog takes you on a daily journey to my uneventful and uncolorful life. There is not much to write about my life, really.. and so, by extension there isn’t much to write about myself. And that’s why you’ll read more about my thoughts on anything and everything here instead.
Current events are not only significant but interesting to me in many ways too — so I enjoy writing social and political commentaries as well. Here, I am free to write without reservations, so most times, commentaries seem more passionate than I would normally allow. Please forgive me for that.

WHY DO I BLOG:
I started my blog because I wanted to have a public venue for my sentiments, political or otherwise because I believe that keeping it all to myself in a private diary is selfish and self-serving. I also believe that if I blog publicly, someone somewhere at a particular time may benefit from it one way or another, whether it’s simply for pure entertainment, data gathering or in search of a new political or personal perspective absent in paid media articles mostly run solely to fuel businesses.
A political blogger who doesn’t have any political affiliation or doesn’t write articles for a living will always come up with original and refreshing articles, unbiased by political or business interests and in my case, would never write for the pleasure of someone else but myself – which makes the blog authentic in its purest sense. Also, a political blog written by a commoner and non-pundit like me would appeal to people who have either grown tired of the political lingo or the voice/tone by which traditional/mainstream media writers write or have dismissed the idea of ever participating in political issues for fear of ridicule from established pundits who seem to think they are the only ones ordained by God to offer valuable political insights for “the rest of us”. That is not to say however that political bloggers who have no political background whatsoever but have passion and love of country are better than mainstream media. Bloggers these days are neither better nor worse than the writers we have been accustomed to. Although the fact that they are new doesn’t mean they are to be underestimated, it goes without saying that readers must take-in everything written with a grain of salt. That rule applies to everything anyway, not just political blogs so it’s a safe unsolicited advice to all netizens.
I blog mainly for pleasure, self-expression and self-satisfaction. But, no, I’m not really as self-absorbed as you may think.
There are probably other reasons why I blog — some of which I may never know. But one thing’s for sure: At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what I write or who I please — what matters most is the life I live offline and who I am to the people who matter most to me. After all, “the greatest use of one’s life is to use it for something that will outlive it.”

THE BLOGGER:
I am a wannabe blogger and podcaster and a frustrated writer. That’s how I see myself then and now and I think that’s how I’m gonna be for a looooong time.
I am a frustrated doctor, lawyer, engineer, athlete, writer, teacher and actress (hmmm, I’m sure I missed something..) — that’s right, I’m a frustrated “everything” and I blog to be all of those one post at a time. What I can’t be in real life, I can realize online.
I blog about no particular niche, at no particular time of the day, for no particular reason and for no particular type of reader.
