God knows its been how many years since I last looked into this space.....once upon a time, my big passion, what I called "Creative Exploration", for which I had taken all interest to create this blog and put my own content, seem to have become extinct now, to the extent, that I have completely forgotten that such a site exists, my site password, the URL to type to enter into this blog !!!! My goodness......it seems so ridiculously silly for me to think that I am so capable of forgetting my interests & passion for the sake of a mundane and monotonous life.
Well, actually thinking of it, I do have my own capabilities....I have juggled many tasks, both in office and home and spent most part of my day in engaging activities. I am happy and proud that am capable of being both a home maker and a career women, without compromising each other.
But that is not all.
I always believed that there is something beyond our usual routine, an out-of-the-ordinary behaviour/ habit/ character, that really makes each one of us unique and special and most importantly different from the rest. There are plenty of talents each of us have, if you think about it, when young, we might have excelled in any specific area like music, dance, sports, media, cinema, photography, extempore speeches/write-up, aristic hands etc, but in the sad race to lead in our professional and personal lives, we often forget & ignore the talents that we dearly held close to us, as we grow up. Also the social and family pressures often redefine our priorities, that we invariably end up leading a life so different from what we had dreamt of, when we were young. Hardly few have the guts to follow their dreams, many succumb to social pressure and give up on them. In our society, Sucess is always relative to money/power/lifestyle that we lead....But it is not so. A real success to anyone is when they achieve their dreams and live their dreams, regardless of whether it is small or big.
If I really think deep about my dream, well I too have a dream, sorry, dreams....
Dream 1:
I really can't tell when, but I have nurtured secretly this thought of becoming an Author.....hahaha, don't laugh..it sounds funny to me too but I MEAN IT......may be I got influenced or should I say inspired by many authors whose books I have read over the span of a decade, which drew me towards the art of writing...I have always envied and appreciated any writer, however big or small...putting your thoughts to paper and making an impact out of it for your readers is not easily conceivable to all. So I always feel the writers are a supreme class of people, who can effectively touch your heart and mind being so many miles away and totally unknown to you, with this simple genius method of writing. Whether it is a Shakesphere or Leo Tolstoy or Sideny Sheldon or JK Rowling, when we read their work, if there is a tragedy we cry, if there is a war we fear, if there is a happy ending we rejoice, if there is a revolution, we too rise. A simple magic of a pen and a paper just empowers you, such is the power of writing...am truly intrigued by this art. So here I am, dreaming to join that band wagon sometime in the future.
Dream 2:
I am a avid reader and a collector of good books(right now restricted to fictions only, but hoping to expand to other genres soon). May be in another two to three decades, if I continue this habit of collecting books, I may possibly claim to have enough collections to start a mini library for the public (especially children) to access. In this era of internet, whatzapp, facebook and other virtual games, children especially have forgotten the good habit of reading books. You may argue that everything is available on the internet, then why physical books are needed, agreed...but there are always health hazards associated with too much computer exposure. Kids need to stop using the virtual world too much and somewhere get connected to the real physical world. Flipping each and every page of a book and reading it from its cover to the last page, is a sheer pleasure, only those who have done it can relate to it. I want to share my books and make children good readers. Books are after all the best companion one can have. If it sounds like a silly dream, let it be....but it is capable of opening the world of knowledge to the young minds. Academics alone doesn't make up knowledge, there are other far and wide knowledge which our physics, chemistry or math's doesn't offer. We need to look beyond them to gain that wordily wisdom and knowledge, and for that this library helps.
Yessssss, I have confessed my dreams, but just having dreams alone will not help...I need to try achieving them......having a library is something that needs to wait for some more years. But becoming an author, can happen sooner than the other, if I really try. This blog is the stepping stone for that dream, this is space to experiment my writing abilities. Many drops makes up an ocean. So small small writings, whatever it is, can take me step by step to my final destination. All it needs is practice, interest and determination. So, I have decided to bring this blog alive again. Write any damn thing that my mind tells me to, in this process am going to improve my vocabulary, slowly develop the art of writing and get some amateur experience too. If anyone is stopping by this article, wish me luck and support me by reading my work. But don't step there, you need to honestly criticize my work too. Critics are soul of a writer, without them, a writer is nothing....a critic can appreciate or dissect or mock or ridicule your work, but nonetheless, they are the one's who shape you as a better writer.
Wishing this journey to reach my dream destination doesn't stop due to social hurdles, If there is a will there is always a way. I will try to stay focused as much as I can. Going forward, there are going to be many articles - social and political discussions, book and movie reviews, mini stories, casual ramblings and sweet nothings that I am going to write...It feels good to be back to writing after such a long gap...hope this "feel good" feeling doesn't stop just with me, but spreads to my readers too...
Happy writing to me and happy reading to you. Ciao soon..
