Hello World!
Greetings Everyone!
I am going to share a little bit about me and what I want to achieve with this blog, to get us started.
I am a twenty something working professional residing in the intensely competive San Francisco Bay Area. I moved to the United States a couple of years ago for higher education and have been here since then. I lead a somewhat stressful life and focus most part of my energy on my job and learnings on the side. Not sure if the output works as much as I input, but I am trying the route of perseverance.

In the last couple of years, I became the kind of person that would perform every action with calculation and thought of the end result. I want to use this space to breakfree from that personality and just write down my personal thoughts without the thought of it’s outcome. I am doing this for myself and it secretly feels good.
This space is mainly going to be used for self expression — thoughts I may not speak out loud normally. As many of you may have guessed by now, Aria is truly my pen name. I love how ‘Aria’ is an ethnicity agnostic name. In music, aria is a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work. As paradoxical as it is, I am using my reel self to voice my real self. I am doing this so I can remain absolutely unbiased in my views and the content I generate, no matter who my readers are.
To be honest, I am both nervous and excited. I always fancied this independent life where I’d be doing things I love and start my own blog from a point of self reflection. Full disclosure — I don’t consider myself a ‘writer’ and am bound for mistakes through this unfamilar journey. I want to hear from you guys — your stories, topics you’d like me cover, suggestions or just anything you’d like to talk to me about. Sometimes I may share something deeply personal and I’d love to hear your take and challenge the way I look at things. I can feel a sense of connection with you guys already!
So, lets get started already :D
