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 25th married years’ bliss….and while I was still there, a colleague’s relative passed away and the mood suddenly became somber.

It took a while to think that people come and go…..we celebrate our lives and then one day, it’s all about the end..!


This too shall pass…Each moment is all we need…not more !

I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On some good day , I find writing very noble . On some days , it’s pointless.

Let me ask you ….. do you feel the same as I do ?


Hmmmmm…….. at this age , which many would agree ….we have no longer the energy for forced interactions or unnecessary conversations….We just want to get away with it ….. It should be either a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’….. right ?

Actually , I welcome every chance I get, to interact with my fears …..you know ….and I look forward to seeing them…!

Come to think of it ….almost everything                will work again …..if you unplug it for a few minutes…..including ourselves….We can do this ……what say ?


Sometimes , I just pretend I have writer’s block…! The truth is writing is really hard work..

But why am I writing this ? ….I guess , it’s better than not writing at all…hahahahahhahaa

I was doing a research and found out what was a Writer’s Block !..... “ Its when your imaginary friends refuse to talk to you “….. True that !!


Now , now ….. I just cannot sit out here and wait for an inspiration to walk past by …… If I want to write ….I write …!

What I wrote here today was a little courageous of me …..But I got scared a little of what I wrote …..hmmmmmm…


I have never written for children…I usually write for adults.. the hard part is they have to get connected and think it’s real…  Every detail….that is ….or you are not going to buy it …!

Many friends have told me that they get a bit confused with my language of delivery… Trust me , I try to keep it simple but  damn me …..!  

I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write ….!


So what do we do ….Read – read- read …..Read as much as you can and soak in the styles..!

 

At least , I can write !

"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...
