Centenarian..

Yes. This is officially the 100th post at memoirs4kimya. The Soapbox. It all started just over two years ago. I stepped into this inknown sphere of the blog, gingerly felt my way around.. diarised thoughts, and hopes and fears.. rambled on about just about anything that took my fancy.. and found some fellow bloggers dabbling in little bits of their own stuff here, there and everywhere. An experience, transformed, from the one-dimensional to many more. Blogging Divas, Truths and Dares.. thus labeled.

Much has happened in a short two years. And yet, this is only the beginning in so many ways. Kimya has resumed to be Shafinaaz, just as Shafinaaz gladly veiled temporarily behind the mysterious facade of Kimya.. Much can be gleamed from that collaboration.. about the essence of kimyashafinaaz. A revelation of identity, spirituality and inspirational discourse. And flowing imagery of the landscapes of thought and process in the overlapping strata of various aspects of my life. Writer, artist, daughter, sister, philosopher, sociologist, friend.. these are just some of the colours of still fresh paint making their way dripping down the canvas of what life has yet to offer. And another 100 posts, perhaps? Heres to that!

With Words of Love
Shafinaaz

Hey Shafs

Congrats on the century...or as they'd call it in cricket, a "ton" - which doesn't make sense become a ton is a thousand, not 100. but anyway, mathematics aside, thank u for sharing over the 2 years and 100 posts. i hope your words and whatever else inspires many, and that you'll be an inspiration to others, as u were to me to get my writing started again.

all the best
me :)
