"The Writer's Block"

  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

A Fresh Perspective…

  The Gap continues to grow…..but the distance has become short now….I feel like , it’s been ages since I wrote the last article….but the gap has brought me more close to you….. Sometimes , seclusion works for you ! A tough day ….or a simple task …can change the outcome.   Note the power of Perspective.. and how a new view, changes everything ! I was looking far ahead towards a mountain. But it could have been a mole hill for all I knew. The difference, from a mountain to a mole hill was my perspective to look at things. It’s always good to look for a fresh perspective , a fresh outcome ….because it’s fun to tell stories that are original and new in some way…..! I was wrong yesterday….But today I want to get it right…..I did what I could do yesterday…Some blunders and absurdities had already crept in….but I really want to forget them and begin afresh ! Every time I start to write , I try to be different and to start with a new outline , a new perspective ….So I search ...

Block – UnBlock…

  It takes some time to write something …you know…. Especially when you run out of ideas… Scratching your head……you come up-to something, and then you decide to pen it down…But is it worth or absolutely meaningless ? But when you run out of ideas , you look around…..you look around for those small bits of tales whispering to each other and hoping that somebody would pull them down and pen them….! I looked around , found some bit and now ….here goes ….! My writings are inspired by what I was afraid of or what was scary to me …… These are the feelings you’ll find in these articles ! The last gone days were amazing…having said that , some days jostled me around – here and there ,   but some days were really good. There were happy occasions, some memorable too……then there were some sad moments…..but know what…..it’s all about living those moments… I turned 50 ( you all know about it ..now ) , then I celebrated my 25 th married years’ bliss….and while I was still there, a ...

The 50th..Guy!

  Somebody told me to just take it easy with everything……and stop telling what’s going on in my life ! But I had to do this …..!   because this is not only working for me …..it is for all of us who feels the same thing and nobody to talk to ! Entering the threshold of 50 years , I have to take it easy now....Starting 50 , I don’t feel a thing.. People who’ve crossed 50 or just reached there and reading this today, would understand the importance……..ummmmm….or not so important ! At 50 ……I’m still hot …..have you seen a Flash Gun ?.....yeah….that hot…..in flashes ! hahahahahaha This is that age, when you feel that even an half an hour movie needs an interval……well……some age…. While some might disagree with me…..for age is just a number……why don’t you ask your muscles and bones then ?......do they feel 25 ? Mocking myself , I guess I have to live another 50 years …..to get that 2 nd Heart attack now ?hahahaha. I was so excited when I turned 5 ….you know ?.....errrrrr……so...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...

Good days !

  This is what I don’t like…the long distance waits…….to write something and to tell you about it ! Nobody’s waiting for me !    I know that….……..but then that’s what I do….still go ahead and pluck minds….! After all the hooobalooo…….over something , time to bring in a new tale..! After all this , I could have done Stand-UP for all I know …….but never mind ! I’ve been writing for long now….it’s going good …….I mean ….so far …so good..! But somehow , am not happy from inside ….! Ummmmmmm….again ,   never mind ! From childhood to College , all my parents told me …was to study well…. I did too….par…kya hua….aaaj main aise-vaise articles likh raha hu…..kya fayda hua……hahahahahaha IPL is here….( Idhar Pramod ki Lag-gai )..hahahhahaaha……no….no….the real one …the cricket one ….After watching some matches , I looked at myself and asked …..why did my parents do this to me ….man ?.....I should have been in the IPL , running all around the ground for some franchise……b...

A content living !

  All those stories on me…..bored…..right ? After all those mixed responses………I wonder if it works if I carry it forward…ummmmm……guess…..it would not then ! Coming back to living a normal life , people are still suspicious….some look at me as a ‘Wonder’, how I managed to get living after all those   ‘ implementations ‘ on my body. Ummmmm……nice try heart !......   I am still here !! My wife was watching news the other day and suddenly she looked at me and said , “ maximum people die during an heart attack “ !....... I did not respond…because I couldn’t…. all I could muster was     “ hmmmmmmm “ I was not happy……I was not sad……for , I’ve lost a few acquaintances in ‘ heart attacks ‘ before   and here I am living to tell a live tale…! Guess , she may be considered a proud wife of an Heart attack survivor……no ? It is one of the most crucial conditions that could happen in our lives ….The person who suffers through this condition feels lowest at confide...
