First job interview!

Phew..I am going to be in a real formal phone call first time ever in my life - a job interview. I have never been through this in US yet! I am very bad at phone conversations. I would have rather been more confident if I had to meet interview panel in person. I wonder if this being weird as I have heard a lot of people getting nervous about face-to-face interviews! I literally cracked those personal interviews I have had in India. And always, if I had made it to the interview level, I knew that the job was mine! Hope I have the soft skills that I talked about here which I guess are really important to impress people! Fingers crossed!

(I am going to keep my blogger mouth shut for a couple of days!)

How I started writing?

As you all know, I am still just a kid as far as the blogging community goes. I am just about 3 blogs old! When I was writing one of my blogs, suddenly I asked myself "Hey..what are you doing? Writing?". That's when I started thinking what made me write. Very simple. First and foremost - its my husband! He has been insisting for a long time that I start writing but I always thought he was pestering me with something I was never interested in. Later came a spark of old memories. When I was young, I, in fact, used to write. Definitely not novels! But just letters, which all of us did. But with me, I never posted them! To be more specific, the letters I wrote were not meant to be posted! When my father was not in town and my mom yelled at me for my mistakes, I had always written to my aunt complaining about my mom! I am sure, as kids all of us at some point could not agree with our parents' anger. As kids, we were taught to respect our parents and not to argue with them and I still believe in that. So, writing letters was an intelligent means of venting my feelings out. Basically the blogger inside me was in hiding! As a matter of fact, I even wrote a poem just before our wedding and dedicated it to my husband! Thanks to him I am here again!
