Last year this day, I was trying to scribble my first post after some
big time talking to my friends that 'I want a blog too'. Once decided, I dint take much time to name my space
cos it is exactly ‘who am I?’ whereas I spent almost a week to know what kinda
nibbles this blog is going to display cos I had to question myself 'what am I gonna write?'... Thinking too much isn't my way. If I start to think more, well, that means I surely will doze off... and that’s why I decided to showcase my
nibbles (whatever it is..) with no big thinking but a personal scribbling... Ahem.. that's how A Rat’s Nibble was born on this auspicious day.
You know, seriously I did wonder how am I gonna pen down my random and disjointed thoughts flying above my head, that too with some interesting touch to make people read without pushing them into boredom. Hmm, one tough job and I am still trying hard to find my own niche in this beautiful world. To be frank, when I created this nibbling burrow, I did this only to escape from my mood swings. I wasn't serious about blogging then cos I dint even have a topic to write about. Until one day I explored some of the nicest blog communities, where I registered and then least aware that I will meet so many wonderful people here. It’s so cool and am overwhelmed with your support and interest.Cos never in my wildest fantasy I dreamt to have such
many people to read my writings. Ah, never mind, I haven’t even dreamt that I can write something readable apart from my subjects. Now after all this hahoo, you have no idea how excited I get every time I read
a new comment or to know that someone has liked one of my posts. 'Hiya...!' It is only me
jumping in joy in the bottom left corner and welcoming you.
It was like yesterday but days passed that quickly.. so my blog grows up making me a one year old scribbler. Thanks to each and every one of you who motivated me by reading and commenting... and not to forget those who pushed me in a situation to discover the other side of myself. Without you all, I know I couldn't have grown up to walk and came this far.

I have written quite a few posts this whole year where each and every one of it is my favorite. But the top 5 most nibbled scribbles are...
Life of Pi
Sshh.. Secret
My Bucket List
My Umrah Journal - Madinah
I Write...
Even though I am fully aware that I am still a novice blogger and have tons to learn, by God’s grace I managed to find the answer to my own question which I raised in my very first post - ‘Can I write...?' Well, it took me a year and I can’t wait to see what the coming years of blogging holds for me. Fingers crossed...! *murmuring prayers*

On this fine occasion, here is one of my rare Eureka
moments with the halo glowing behind my head, I come up with yet another harebrained idea to host a birthday party in my
little burrow, where I invite you all my lovely and talented blog buddies to walk in and have so much fun playing around. Being a writer/blogger oneself what more is
fun than showing our creativity, huh? So... the party is all about writing...
the first get together in my burrow hosting the theme game 'nibbling promptly'. If you are in, raise your hands and wait for
the D-day this month for the prompt and do try to make the party a cool and
fun one, and of course crowded. :P
Date – Wait... why hurry? I will tell you... ;-)
Theme – Nibbling.. er.. Writing, what else? :D
Prompt - Hmm... I am still deciding...! B-)
Rules – Umm... *flipping through my rule book* o_O
Prize - Cheese..! for the 'Super Nibbler' *yum.. am drooling* :P
Come forward to have a bite and let’s play with the words. Being my blog's birthday what more reason I need to celebrate? So keep your clock ticking and get ready to nibble with a Rat this month J
Happy Birthday, A Rat’s Nibble. May you live long and find more
reason to party...! J
Au Révoir!
PS - The creative writing contest detail is out.. check this post. Nibble Promptly! Have fun :)
