I Write !

-

 

This may sound boring …..but  I’ve tried to make it very simple as it comes..!

A friend and colleague once asked me how I write….here goes….nothing !

When I write,   I shake off everything …my sorrows disappear , my courage is reborn ..This is more difficult for me than for others….you know…Greasing the mind to think …think …think…and then , sometimes thinking – how vain it is to sit down and write  when you have not stood up to live !......

I think , it’s never been a better time to be a writer  or even aspire to become one…

I tasted life once …..now I write , to taste life again …in the moment …!


I write…not because I want to  , but to inspire and get inspired …Ummmm…if it’s good …I’ll find out …if it’s not ….well…I guess…I should just throw it out….hahahahaha

Sometimes , I sound foolish …you know….I’ve read my articles again and again….and then I say to myself…I should not judge ….I should understand !

Gradually , I am getting answers to many things …you know …answers to build …to create …to cherish , to be astonished at nothing …to make something out of anything….!


Half of our lives , we’ve imagined that we will live life of the ‘Avengers ‘ or at least ‘Spiderman “……Then we come of age and our lives basically becomes mundane or dull…. Now it’s up to us to make it interesting …..right ?

My articles have little portions here and there explaining the meaning of life …ummmmm…so I think so…. But having said that …The most beautiful thing is that I don’t actually have to write anything until I’ve thought of it ..That’s a relief ….you know …I write  , while the heat is still in me…!


Writing to inspire is a tough job…..the well of inspiration , I’m afraid , often runs dry …! I have to keep reminding myself that there are hordes of inspirations outside , hordes of ideas  , waiting for me just around the corner …!

I often write what I’ve not been willing to speak about ….what disturbs me …what I fear….I write ….because I am now willing to be split open !


Hmmmmm…The stories must strike a nerve ….you know….and to do this , I have to sweat it out….sometimes , the ideas just come over me ……sometimes I almost bleed to make ideas come ….hahahahahaha….

Yes…I take chances…It might be bad …but it’s the only way I can do anything really good..!


I get the ‘writer’s block ‘ sometimes…. There’s no antidote for it …but then it has never failed me to stop writing ….You know…I get anxious when I don’t write…seriously !


Yes…I don’t write pretty words much….you know why ?....This is more than putting pretty words on a page …man !

I just want to share a part of  my soul to the world….Yes..! That’s it !

Ummmm…I guess …that’s it people …!

"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...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

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...
