+# My not-so-personal diary
+
+Since I was young, I've wanted to write. I've liked reading, and I wanted to write something myself.
+Never had an idea about what I wanted to write, I just wanted to write. Something that was mine.
+It needn't be a story, doesn't even have to make much sense. I just want my thoughts to take shape
+into words, into something which the future me, or others can read, something which hopefully
+affects the reader in some way. It's about leaving a mark, not about being good or widely known.
+
+What I find satisfying is writing by hand as everything is quiet, and as long as I'm writing
+something I'm interested in. With my favourite fountain pen - filled with black ink because its
+viscosity is what enhances the pleasure, the feel in my hand, the sound - on my favourite spiral
+notebook, with nice white pages, dumping all my thoughts onto the helpless piece of paper.
+
+## But, what do I want to write about?
+
+Everything around me influences me, more than I'd like to admit. Every now and then I have this
+new experience, something new to talk about. I don't want to stick to a theme, that's not the
+kind of person I am. But, I don't want my writings to get diluted with all the irrelevant
+thoughts I have. Which takes me to the conclusion that, I have a lot of thoughts, and much
+of them are worth writing about. But, there's nothing keeping them in check. I need a mechanism
+to organize my thoughts, before I can go on and write something meaningful.
+
+### Journaling
+
+I've found that, keeping a journal or a diary is one of the best ways to organize your thoughts.
+Writing your experiences in a diary helps you control your emotions, and makes your thoughts
+clear. And it also makes your writing better, so that's like killing two birds with one stone.
+
+## The meaning behind The NonPersonal Diary
+
+NonPersonal is a term whose meaning I just made up. This blog contains excerpts from my personal
+diary/journal, pointless stories, or other things written by me. In a way, this blog is my
+personal diary, but the public version. So it's not-so-personal, or you can say, NonPersonal.

+# About Me
+
+My name is Vidhu Kant Sharma, and I also have another website named [vidhukant.com](https://vidhukant.com)
+but since I don't expect to have much common audience on both of them, I'll introduce myself here.
