About me - My first Spark to light -May 10, 2025

Hey there! Feels good to connect with you ! Thank you for reaching this teeny weeny blog. 😊 

Who Am I?

I go by 'Malathy'. Am a 'wanderer'—not just of places, but of thoughts, ideas, and moments. I believe that, Life is a beautiful journey with unique ebbs and flows for every one. I approach every minute of my life, with the curiosity to learn from the people I come across. I love Creative writing, Talking to people, Watching movies irrespective of language, Learning culture and diversity from people around, this universe (My family) and being Myself. 💖

My Education and Career

I was a quite shy kid in my early life. I was interested in exploring every subject I studied during my early schooling. I pursued a degree in Bachelor's of Computer Science Engineering. Although my relationship with Computers was kind of 'okay'. I found it interesting to work for an IT Company for 3 years. Yet, something didn’t sit right with me—I didn’t feel truly fulfilled.  It let me keep questioning the purpose of my life and my role in the world. I wanted to do something more meaningful and explore the idea of participating in government policies and see firsthand how policies could improve lives, shape communities, and create lasting change. I believed UPSC- Civil services was a good choice. After my marriage, I moved to the United states. I still wanted to pursue my goal from the US. Later, my child was born. I had to find a balance between the demands of being a mother, managing my family, and pursuing my passion. I immersed myself in the preparation and continued to chase my goal. I travelled twice to India few days prior to the exam.I was deeply passionate about becoming a Bureaucrat.Despite the fact that, I pushed myself real hard, both my attempts did not let me pursue my goal. But It brought unexpected meaning to the life I now want to live. Through this journey, I’ve gained a clearer perspective and come to see the world around me in a new light. Perhaps it’s time to broaden my vision and embrace a more global perspective, finding ways to contribute to the greater good beyond borders! I understood that, Life is a Process. What did I learn?How did I shift my focus next ? Well I am here. Let's keep connecting!

What's my motive to write ?

I like writing. I think a lot, I also overthink. I used to think that writing gives me clarity. Since my middle school, I am used to writing journals of my own life. As i said earlier, I like talking to different people and learning from them. Every piece of 'being' the universe has created, from the tiny plant , flower, animal, human, to the biggest whale is for us - to look upto, learn and shape ourself. Every post I share here, is a small spark, a small inspiration I would like to pass on- an idea that highlights the many good things I have to offer. A small connection, I would like to make with you, with the meaningful collection of experiences and thoughts I have gained so far in my life. Every smile or positive changes that my ideas bring into your life are my success. Probably create something bigger, which could be more impactful over time. Why not ? Thats why I named my blog to- 'A Million Sparks to Light'.
