What should my first blog post be about? What should I name my blog?
I have spent the whole of last year trying to figure the answers to that.

Each time it came to starting my blog, I would get cold feet just thinking about my first blog post. I finally concluded that my first blog post should be about figuring what to write. Just kidding. Actually I have decided to write about the raison d’ĂȘtre of this blog.

That would be simpler, and it would ensure that you read this till the end.
After procrastinating for a year, why am I finally starting this blog today?

Because my creative writing teacher told me it was the only way to get published? No, but what she did tell me is, that it’s a wonderful way to hone my writing skills, and express myself.

I’m also hoping that in some way it can warm your hearts, tickle you to laughter, move you to tears (only sometimes).

“Sunshine in a box” is a part of me. It is an extension of my thoughts. Like most people, I don’t always have “sunshine” thoughts. But when I write them down, I instantly feel better.

Why “Sunshine in a Box”? Well because, it’s my blog and I decide what to call it. Kidding again.

I have been writing for over a year now, and mailing it out to a group of friends who love reading my articles (Or so they say). The one thing common in their feedback is “Wow, I felt good after reading that” and “Thanks, you made my day.” So my writing was therapeutic in 2 ways. I felt so good putting my thoughts down, and when I read how it made others feel, I felt even better. So “Sunshine in a box” it was.

Writing to me, is like my daily dose of sunshine. So I bring to you my stories, both true and inspired. Some are about the things I go through, some about the stuff I read, some about things I passionately believe in. What’s common to all of them is that they leave me feeling like I’ve just stepped into the sun, after a long stormy night. I hope they do the same for you too!

Enjoy your sunshine in a box!
