How I will Rebuild the World

Rebuilding the World is certainly not a simple task. It is not like erasing the sand art canvas with a brush of the hand...

And then creating another glorious new sand art image on it:

Rather remaking the world is a far more complex and an onerous task, given that so much hatred, anger and non-violence has already deeply penetrated it. Simultaneously, pollution is choking people and biodiversity to death, while man's greed, carelessness and climate change is causing disaster after sinister disaster. Today, values have evaporated while killing one another in the name of God is an accepted norm. Today, brother is the enemy of his own brother while daughter is killed by her own parents. Today, lies, corruption and deception rule, while the honest, the good, the pious suffer.

Z: Z marks the end of the A to Z Challenge...

Letter 'Z' is not just the last letter of the English alphabet. It also marks the end of my A to Z Challenge 2014 journey.

I have a strange mixed feeling today- I feel sad...that it's gonna be over for this year..sob sob...yet I must say I've enjoyed it to the hilt overall!

I thank @ArleeBird and his entire team! And so many thanks to each of the wonderful bloggers who read my posts and encouraged me to write more! No wonder my blog views have shot up by leaps and bounds and I am so overjoyed!!

I got a unique palindrome number too in the course of my A to Z Challenge journey: 42424!! It's only Lord Jagannath's grace that this happened while I invoked the Lord's world-famous holy, colourful and unique festivals Rath Yatra and Nabakalebar in Puri, Odisha, India! :D

So here is a recap of my A to Z Challenge journey 2014! Those who missed out, may please click and discover all that I had to blog about in a very productive month for blogging- April 2014!!

I've decided to speed-blog for letter 'E'. Idea is to write as many words as I can with 'E'. My laptop shows time as 19:39 and I'll stop exactly at 19:44. So here I start!

Blogging

Blogging is an expression- of the depths of our souls. My blog is like my closed empty room- where I shout. I scream. And the echoes come back to me. But wait…isn’t that so boring? Hearing your own echoes all the time…? So no. That’s why the room was made with large windows and doors so my voice reached out to all who were near and far. Best thing is many of them cared to respond back, to tell me I am not alone, to make me feel that we are all together- in this roller coaster ride called Life.

Sharing My Most Loved Blogs!

Source

I love so many blogs and want to share each of them with the world for which a series of such *share the love* blog posts by me will be needed! Starting off with sharing the awesome ones given below!

My First Top Post at IndiBlogger!

Seeing my post on IndiBlogger (IB) Homepage for the first time was such a delight!
Four-months old in IB*, I was waiting keenly for the moment to behold this sight!

I captured the image and waited for my IB Top Badge e-mail with bated breath,
By the time I got it, for my post to remain as Top only few minutes were left!

Source: Excitedly self clicked!

Still those eight minutes were the sweetest so far in my IB existence,
Mantras to thrive here are- survival of the fittest, patience, persistence!

It was only divine justice that my 26 Jan post should be the chosen one,
The shiddat for this achievement, made me feel like I’ve run a marathon!

Why all the shiddat to come at the top- this has a simple answer,
For we all want to WIN, for everyone loves a winner ....!

Realization dawned about how IB’s is a huge give-and-take Universe,
How some great blogs are hidden from our eyes only due to low votes...

On the cusp of coming on the home page, my post has often been victimized,
Even if I’ve already voted for their posts, people abstain from voting for mine!

Why I love Blogging

I Love Blogging because:

B- is for the BEST use of time, as while I write a new post, I get a tremendous creative boost, which keeps me energetic and happy for the rest of my time- till I post the next one! Time spent BLOGGING is my most exciting time! Truly, BLOGGING brings out the very BEST of my creative side!

L- is for all the LOVE people give me for being a writer, a blogger- since the year 2006, when blogging itself as a concept was relatively new! They overwhelm me with their feedback and encourage me to touch the deepest chords of their heart, over and over again!

O- is for my OUTSTANDING gratitude to the concept and invention of internet and blogging itself! Today we cannot imagine life without internet, and a lover of blogging like me cannot imagine life without blogging, which allows me to pour my heart out on my OWN Space on the wired highway- www.amritasabat.blogspot.com and read OTHERS' heartfelt outpourings too!

G- is for GLORY of being recognized as a world citizen by authoring my own blog! Everytime I look at the Live Traffic Feed displaying people from the remotest parts of the world visiting my blog, I feel elated and proud as a stakeholder in the chugging inter-continental 'Thoughts Express'! Who knows- even a future inter-GALACTICAL 'Thoughts Express' when we build links with aliens! My blog will live forever though I may just be a mortal being...my first post 'I'

G- is for GREAT satisfaction I get by sharing my hopes, confusions, love, hatred, passions with humanity, through my blog. Makes me lighter, happier and simply ecstatic!

I- is for my INDEPENDENCE, which gets floodgates of expression through my blog! You will see this sense of mine reflected in every blog post and I so absolutely treasure this! IT is simply me- no wonder my blog is even named 'I' and I love blogging!

N- is for NOVELTY of expression and styles! My creativity gets wings and expresses freely through my blog with different styles of posts- poems, stories, articles or simply- wandering thoughts!

G- is for GROWTH. My blog gives me the widest avenues for discovering my boundless potential (‘About Me’) and helps in self-growth enormously. Even participating in my first blog contest was a life-changing event for me as I could interact with this wonderful inspiring lady: Sanghamitra Jena: A Woman Entrepreneur, a Trailblazer . Simultaneously being linked to a paradise of bloggers, I get not just knowledge by reading their blogs but also inspiration and motivation to do much more in life and make positive differences to the world at large, often being infected with their sense of optimism and happiness.

Blogging is the best feel-good factor in my life. It is my way of baring my soul, of touching others' souls as well. I love blogging, and whether I win or not, this post has been one of my most satisfying posts so far! :D MEGA Thanks for this chance Miss Malini ( http://www.missmalini.com/mega-haul ) ! Really, my MEGA Salute goes out to you! :)
