Whoever said ignorance is a bliss needs to meet me personally, to get an earful! They must be joking, right?
I learnt my lesson the hard way.
Let me elaborate on the point…
All had been well and I remember announcing the arrival of Baby No. 2 , KBee, in my blog and that was my last post for 2021. I also re-christened my first born, from Baby Bee to GBee, now that he is not a baby anymore, but a pre-schooler. (We named our first born as MG and the younger one as MK. )
Anyway….coming back to my original plot of the post…
2021 had been a busy year, what with my share of good and not so good experiences. By the time we entered the last quarter of 2021, I had been so ignorant that my hosting plan had expired! I couldn’t renew it within a month of expiry date, due to issues with the credit card. (My blog was being hosted with my previous USA address, even after relocating to India)
I cursed the bank and the Government for the new guidelines, which made the renewal difficult. (Conspiracy right under my nose!) I lost all the years worth of my precious moments, events and prize winning blog posts to the “black hole” of internet. (Sadly my backups failed me.)
I don’t know how Lord Voldemort must have felt when Harry Potter destroyed all the seven horcruxes, the 7 parts of his evil soul, one at a time, but when I lost all the 7 year worth of precious data, I felt “this” must be it! (I am a Harry Potter nerd , through and through. I tend to drag Harry Potter world into my life, drawing parallels. J.K.Rowling must be thankful for having me as a fan! I hate ‘The Cursed Child’, that’s there!)
I felt so sad for a couple of days, I never knew one could connect so emotionally to one’s own writings. I shed many a precious tears, I mourned the early and sudden demise of my blog.
Slowly I let bygones be bygones and decided to start afresh.
So here’s to a new beginning of the blog, albeit with an old name!
Welcome back to BeeAfterYou, where the buzzing is always true!
P.S:
- It feels so gratifying and encouraging when friends and family enquire after my blog and my writing schedule or the lack there of! It is such a humbling experience and truly inspires me to sit , write , edit, edit, edit, edit and post!
Thank you for all the love and I truly appreciate the concern. Lots and lots of love, dear readers…. QueenBee is back!

P.P.S:
It is better to back up all your files regularly. If you are a fellow blogger, please back up and store it in a fool proof place.
Good post.
Thank you.
