A New Beginning...

Life as a teenager is too far away - ask any 9-year-old.
Life as a teenager is confusing - for every 12-year-old.
Life as a teenager is hell - pipe in 14-year-olds.
Life as a teenager is fun- any 16-year-old will agree.
Life as a teenager is hectic -lament every 17-year-old

Life still as a teenager is hard - 19-year-olds will point out.
Life as a teenager was easy - 25-year-olds may claim.
Teenage was the best stage of life - Say all who cross 45.

Different views, different phases, different lives. Yet possibly, the same person.
So what is that makes adolescence agony for the teenagers, and bliss for the rest?

As a 17-year-old still intimidated by life's little obstacles, silenced by nature's endless wonders, enraged by the world's worst crimes and motivated by the most incredible achievements, it still remains an unsolved mystery and threatens to remain so.
Whatever may be the reason, the process and the consequence, the truth remains that one can always find solace in expressing themselves - be it through speaking, writing or even bursts of intense emotions.

That is where my latest blog comes in...


There are few things in life that I'm passionate about.
Religion, Family, Friends & Love, Health & Medicine, the Environment and Writing are just some examples.
I'm an introvert by nature and am quite incapable of speaking out, though my proficiency in the English language has never posed a problem. But despite all my apparent silence and indifference to the world around me, the only thing I've ever dared to be confident of is my efficiency to write down exactly what I feel. Maybe it's the security in knowing that I can always think before I write, edit my work before publishing and still correct my mistakes once committed - I may not know why I resort to the pen, or rather the keys of my keyboard, but I do believe it to be my best, and sometimes the only, outlet to my innermost emotions, feelings and anxiety.

Diaries were never an option, e-mails are too messy and social networking sites are hardly ever big scorers in the privacy department. So, like I said earlier, LI's Lair is born... (Lame name for Lamya's blog - but lately I'm big on alliteration and nothing else seemed to makes sense - as if what I just said did)

I now officially declare http://emiratindian.blogspot.com open.

Let the Countdown Begin...
