Welcome to The Era I lived in.
I know the name I selected for my blog, The Era I lived in sounds as if I am a historian about to narrate my
life history or my perception of the world as it has been in the years I have been around. As realization is gradually sinking in, I am already feeling very old with the load of the decades I have behind me hurting my incapable shoulders.
Let me end your doubts and share with you my real thoughts behind starting this web-log. I wanted to start a diary that’ll register my life as it is in reality. No editing, no worries of being judged and yes no hassles of being read by unwanted people around me. At first I decided to go for real diary writing. But all the aforementioned concerns of mine weren’t safe within the confines of a handwritten notebook,so I decided on writing it out on a blog.
I know, you are wondering if I am so concerned about my privacy,why would I share my true feelings on a global platform? Well, the answer is, I want to share my true feelings with the people who are ready to be a part of my life without trying to judge me as would the people who know me personally.
I started this blog to voice my deepest secrets. Bring to surface my fears safely kept hidden in the closets of my mind. To be able to get a deeper insight of my undiscovered potentials and know myself better with each post I write.
I do not wish to curb my true emotions from being registered in ink just for the fear of the people who hold no true relevance in my life. So in this space you’ll get to read everything that has happened in the life of a lady who has started getting her first gray hair very recently but wishes to capture every moment of her life from here on. I am someone who is trying to create an autobiography that I’ll love reading once I am old wanting to re-live the life I once lived.
If you love knowing ordinary people and their lives as they are,come be a part of my journey as I’ll be posting my life’s tid-bits every now and then.

They say writing is cathartic, and I hope you find comfort and more from sharing. Hugs.
thank you for the wishes IHM
Hugs
After reading a couple of your posts, I realize why you agreed with my post “it’s comforting to talk to strangers”. As IHM puts it, writing is cathartic, especially sharing with people who don’t judge you (like you mentioned).
Hang in there..
I am glad you could understand where I am coming from
Welcome here Sheils
Wouldn’t The Era in “live in” sound more appropriate than “lived in”. You already lived your life is it?
Well I particularly chose to write this blog to be read at a later date. By me (as my autobiography) and my daughter (once she grows up) after around 15 years from now. So I am basically writing it all in flashback mode hence the choice of the past tense
Thank you for taking time to think about my blog in depth
I am touched with every line on this page. This sounds so similar to what I feel and believe. In an instant, I am in love with your blog!
Thank you Greenboochi…welcome aboard
Hi era,
I stumbled on your blog through google and read few of your post which i feel are real touching and so human and real.
Keep writing..
Welcome to my world Surbhi
Hope to hear more from you
Hi Era,
Read few of your post, very brave and touching. Also you have great writing skills.
I wonder how you stumbled upon my blog?
I myself don’t remember, maybe from one of the blogs I read
Thank you for the compliment allthecrap
Hello Miss Era, and hugs and kisses for Pari….
Thanks for liking my poem….I followed you back and read all your blog posts(at least all of the unpassworded ones) and I RESPECT you. It is a very difficult choice but its for your own and babie’s sanity. I know I am young to comment on this(and unmarried), but I have seen women go through madness. My mum was literally tortured and I feel my poor sweet dad so got taken advantage of by my dad’s family that it breaks my heart. And he is the sweetest thing on earth.
Dad says I have matured beyond my years to understand so much.
Thank you PB for taking time to read all my blogs
Welcome aboard, I’d love to have you around and hear your views
Miss Era, it was u who found me out first.Am happy that i stumbled into ur place.Ur blog is straight, honest and sensitive..Very beautifully written.It has brought out those issues which are kept in dark coz of the fear the way OTHERs will react..Praying that u heal!!!Orzcy

I think we have quite a few things in common beginning with our names “Me”
I enjoyed reading your blog…..
Welcome to my world and my blog Privy
By some weird impulse, I decided to read your blog in chronological order (even without reading the latest post) – reached Feb’2012 till now & all I can say is :
a) Hugs.
b) I simply adore the way you end even the most emotionally taxing of posts with a song.
Will be back for the remaining posts – and the songs as well.
Till then, let me share the song that came to my mind going through your posts for Pari –

Welcome Chipmunk
Yay! on similar purpose of blogging and thank you very much for liking my name
Gosh you and I have EXACTLY the same thought process! Both of us have been brought into the blogging universe for the same reason. Cheers to the joruney:-) By the way I noticed some of your blogs are password protected. Can you share how to do it because I also want to maintain my privacy which is kind of difficult in a public blog.
I too had felt the same when I had started reading your blog. I am glad our paths crossed.
P.S.- Please check your email for my reply to your query.
Cheers & hugs
I’ve just discovered your blog, but after reading “About the Blog”, just felt some sort of connection as if I’ve been following/reading for a long time. It just sent Shivers down my spine. And this does not happen very often.
The song is so true”Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan, Iske Siva Jaana Kahaan”
Welcome to my blog Naaj. Am glad to note you could feel a connection with my blog.
Hope to hear more from you
