It’s the 19th of September and
it’s two days before my birthday. There’s excitement in the air and I want to
share it with you. So, I’ve decided to launch and publish my first blog today.
Here it goes…
Author
of some sort!
During my junior and elementary schooling
years I was often asked to write a composition about myself. (Composition
refers to a paragraph and not a piece of music). I’m not sure if we were given
this task to keep us busy in order to compensate for lack of preparation on the
side of my teachers or to genuinely keep track of our writing skills. Anyway, I
wish I had kept my compositions.
If I remember correctly my compositions
would have probably started with…
My name is Verusha Naidoo and I am in grade
4B. I live in Durban. There are 4 people in my family, my mum, my dad, my
sister and I. My family and I go to the beach on weekends. My favourite colour is pink (yeah right!). I
also like purple. I have a dog and I play with him every day…blah blah blah!
These days my compositions are no longer
that simple! They now consist of compound and complex sentences, comparatives
and superlatives and even phrasal verbs. My compositions are complex!
My name is still Verusha Naidoo however I’m
no longer in grade 4 ;). I am a Drama Honours graduate and an EFL (English as a
foreign language) teacher. I currently have my hands in few different jars in
terms of a job and…no drugs, is not one of them!
I love writing especially when I’m inspired.
For me, inspiration can come from the smallest of things you just have to be
open to it. I hate clutter, love to do lists and absolutely love putting things
in boxes. I also love gift boxes and making my own gift boxes, cards and even
book covers. I can’t draw to save my life but I am a great decorator.
I’m a pescetarian and would have an animal
farm in my back yard if I could. However my cat and hamster will suffice for
now. I have a reserve tank of anger for
those who think nothing of killing animals for fur, leather or ivory.
I’m South African Indian, meaning that I
was born in South Africa and so were my parents and their parents. However we
do have some heritage that traces back to India.
My Two Cents…is a place I come to, to
share, learn and be inspired. So please feel free to leave your thoughts, ideas
and suggestions here.
Welcome! I look forward to
reading your two cents…
Peace
Verusha ;)
