How my journey as a “Writer” started
It started a couple of years earlier, when I wrote a note in my Facebook page for my mother. And lots of people who are there in my friend list liked that one. Then only I found a small writer in me. No do not think that I started writing by then. I Started writing long before that, but I did not have that courage to make it available to all. But sometimes appreciation helps you to bring that courage & confidence in a person. That’s what happened in my case. That note which I wrote to my mother is also there in my blog named “LOVE U MOM“.
Who Am I :
I am a 26 years+ old guy, having dream in my eyes to make it big in life. I put ‘+’ in my age, because I know I am not going to update it next year. Yes you got it right, I am very lazy. The only question to which I am unable to get the answer till now is “What I want to be in life?” I do not want to be rich, I want to be famous.I do not want to be successful, I want to be happy. Most importantly I want to be a good human being. Which I am not completely, but I am confident that one day I will be.
I completed my engineering in computer Sc. ; still I love to deal with human beings more than computers, as computers have no emotions. I am a perfectionist when it comes to being imperfect. 🙂 For me happiness is more important than success. So terms like success, failure, competition have no meaning to me. I do not like to compete with others. I believe, I am too good to compete with myself, Then why to compete with someone else. My family & friends are my support systems.
What is This Blog All About:
As the name “Being Arindam :Straight from my heart“ suggests, this blog is all about what my 26 years old heart says. This blog is a place where my heart does all the talking without caring about my mind. You may say that it is just a place where my heart is more powerful than my mind.
I am here to share my thoughts, my experience with you all. Some times i may touch your heart, sometimes I may bring a smile in your face , sometimes I may bring all those emotions out which you kept in your heart from a long time through my writings. And sometimes I may failed to do so. Still all your feedback, comments, like & dislike are welcome in my blog. I will happily accept all your comments doesn’t matter positive or negative with open heart.
I have a simple philosophy in life-
“Be true to yourself and others. Do not try to appear better or greater than what you are.” – anonymous

Arindam, I loved your post about confidence, and also the fact that you are a perfectionist about being imperfect. I think that so much of us flog ourselves with our limitations, instead of accepting them and glorying in all the things that we CAN do well. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

You left me a kind comment. Can I send you a handwritten postcard? If so, send me your address and “your word” to ironicmom(at)gmail(dot)com.
Happy January!

HI Arindam
First of all thank you for stopping by my Blog..
Was very interesting reading your Bio, I liked and think it is very clever the (+) after your age, though you say it is because it is part of being but I see it as being practical and not having to come back later to update or tie lose ends..
I am sure i will enjoy reading for you.. I think your drive is the best one you can be influenced by to be true and be who you are
Take care
Arindam
February 21, 2012

Hi Arindam,
I enjoyed reading your “About”. Very honest and heartfelt. Oh the adventures you have yet to experience in your life. Me too even though I double your age. We should never stop experiencing the world around us. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I appreciate it very much. Off to explore around your place a bit.
Cheers, Margie

February 22, 2012
Thanks a lot Margie,

Please visit my new blog at http://confessionsofasinglefather.wordpress.com/. As you’re likely aware, I haven’t blogged in quite a while on My Haphazard Proclivities, and this might shed some light on why.
I hope everything is going well for you my friend. I’m attempting to get back into blogging and look forward to reading some of your material I’ve missed in the last month or so.
Take care friend,
Joe

Hi Melissa, As you are a wife of an IT professional, so I hope you know through what, an software engineer has to go through. May be in my part of the world it’s little bit more difficult, as the population and competition is on higher side. So I could not able to write any thing new or read anything new from you. But I hope I can make it soon. Thanks a lot Melissa for at least remembering me when I am not active in this blogging world. As always thanks a lot for being such a wonderful friend and all the support. It means a lot Melissa.

Arindam
March 11, 2012
Thanks a lot Melissa, I am not sure if anyone else of my blogging friends are waiting for me or not to return. But as always thanks for being there to support me and making my presence felt here You are really my best friend. I have no doubt about that one now. 🙂 I hope I can come out with something really good but personal in my blog tomorrow, although I am not if I am going to publish that one or not as it personal . How is my champ now?

Hey Joe,
I came to know know what happened to you and your family just now. And I do not what to say on how to react to this kind of a thing. But I am sad. But I hope you will try your best to bring everything and everyone who constitute your family, together once again. I do not know the reason behind all these things, but I am sure like a brave & honest man you will confess your every mistake , and if you have not made any mistake then, you will try to clear those misunderstandings. I do not want to say much about those things; as I have a little knowledge about these things. But I will want you to try and bring all those people near to you who matter to you a lot. And I know you will. All my best wishes to you Joe.
Joe
March 12, 2012
Thank you Arindam. Of course we all make mistakes but I’d like to think the mistakes I have made do not constitute or justify my wife’s decision. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do at this point as I’ve tried reconciling with her. Now, I’ve got to move on and build a life of my own for me and my two children.
I’ll garner all the strength I can while me and my children transition through this unbearable time. My family and friends have been extremely supportive and that’s all I can ask for. I think I’ll find comfort in blogging as well, hence the reason I’ve started my new blog for a new beginning.
Thank you so much for being my first subscriber. You’ve always been tremendously supportive of My Haphazard Proclivities and I expect nothing less on Confessions of a Single Father.
Thank you for the kind and warm words Arindam.
Take care friend,
Arindam
March 12, 2012
I will be always there with your blog “Confessions of a Single Father”. Wish you all the happiness and may god bless you with all those things which will be really good for you. Take care Joe. My best wishes are always with you.

Wow, great About description. I see “success” all over this blog as I wander around it. Must be driven by the happiness thing. At 26 I knew what I wanted to be, then became it. Now, I would like to go back to 26 and try a different approach. It is a fantasy mind game of mine. Good luck on your journey.
Arindam
April 27, 2012
Thanks a lot Randel for these kind words & wish. I am, glad to see you here. You knew what you wanted to be at the age of 26, that’s great. My problem is that I still do not know what I want to be in life. 🙂 I hope it will not be too late, when I will come to the point of realization. But I hope you must be now satisfy with the way your life; then why do you want to play the fantasy mind game!
Lots & lots of good wishes for you. 🙂

Hi, I didn’t know a better place to ask. But since you get a lot of comments on your blog. I am getting responses to mine, but most of them place webadresses with their post. If they where posting addresses from oder blogs that would be totally fine. No, random webaddresses. Do you know what I should to with that? Delete them or accept them? They do say nice things about my blog too.
Arindam
July 4, 2012
I hope those are spams. They say nice things, which have no link to the thing you post. And it’s better to delete if they are spam. But if you are very sure that, they are not spams then you can accept them. But be sure first, if they are spams or not.
ellendircks
July 4, 2012
Thanks for your fast response again and your opinion on it. They refer to the blogpost I have written, but really vaguely I think it is spam then. So I better delete them I guess. I will check them all seperatly to make sure.

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog Neil. It’s good that you trying to be yourself and thinking about positive aspects of life. I can tell or advice about how to deal with a broken relationship, as it’s been a long time since I got in to a relationship. But I hope you will deal with it on your own and come out as a successful and wonderful human being. Lots f good wishes for you.
And sorry for the late reply. I do not know how I missed your comment.

Dear Arindam, what touched me most about your blog is your daily interactions with the man on the street, the children that you meet – everyday folks who cross your path whom you stop to take time to notice, to be kind. And ultimately it all boils down to this doesn’t it – to see in each other a part of ourselves. To see the Divine in another soul. It’s been a great honour to meet a young man like yourself with a big dream to be the change you hope to see in the world. With warmest greetings from Finland, Sharon
Arindam
August 9, 2012
Thanks a lot Sharon. Yours is one among those very few comments which I am going to remember for a long long time. I am glad you could notice in my writing, which I always wanted someone to. TO be honest, I do not try to write something extraordinary, because I know I can never. But I always write, with a message in the most simple way; just straight from my heart and honestly. Glad you could catch those points in my writing.

Hi Arindam,
First of all thanks a lot for stopping by and dropping a comment on my blog. It means a lot! Just like you have mentioned, appreciation can really change things. Not sure if you really meant all of it, but I got the motivation that I was looking for. Thanks!! Just need some guidance to do better, hope I will soon find that.
You have a wonderful blog, but there is something even more more wonderful. And I think it is ability to make your readers connect with what you feel.
Congratulations once again on your first book. I am looking forward to reading it. Waiting to read more of your stuff.
Arindam
August 18, 2012
Hi Ti,
Thanks a lot for these words. I hope I will live up to your expectation with my book.
And yes, we all need fair bit of appreciation in return to our hard work and effort. If you got motivated with it, then there is nothing wrong. It just show you are honest enough to accept that like every other creative person you too are hungry for appreciation. I am sure you will get lots of appreciation in future. Just keep on doing the good work. Everything else will fall in to proper places automatically. My best wishes for you.

I have found that community is everything for writers. I never understood, till recently, just how supportive and kind other writers can be in helping and encouraging each other to stretch.
I am curious to understand what attracts you to fame? I don’t mean that as a negative question, it is simply that fame never attracted me so I’m curious about how it attracts others.
Arindam
August 18, 2012
Absolutely. Community is really important for all of us. To be honest, I have learnt a lot from these wonderful people. A community always grow, when the members starts helping, supporting and inspiring each other. It feels great to be part of such a wonderful community, where everyone cares for other.
Now to answer your question about fame; I will say I want to be famous, not only because I want to be recognized by others or to be appreciated by others for my work. But as I born and brought up in a country, where I have to live with , I have to compete with and also I have to adjust with 1.2 billion other people. So I hope Fame will make my voice Lauder, my presence will be brighter and my thoughts are going to reach others very clear. We all need money, and to be honest majority of the people now have it with them. But I want fame, because, I want to speak to others, by not standing in the crowd, but standing on the stage with the microphone in my hand, so that people will remain silent and listen to my voice when I will try to make them realize our duty as humans, or I will try to convince them, what we are doing is wrong or will ask them for support for a specific cause.
As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe very rightly quoted:
“If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.” 🙂
