BLOG-A-LICIOUS

Writing wasn’t easy to start. After I finally did it, I realized it was the most direct contact possible with the part of myself I thought I had lost, and which I constantly find new things from. Writing also includes the possibility of living many lives as well as living in any time or world possible. I can satisfy my enthusiasm for research, but jump like a calf outside the strict boundaries of science. I can speak about things that are important to me and somebody listens. It’s wonderful!!

WRITING TO ME IS………..

What does one say when asked – what does breathing, eating or bathing mean to them? The answer will be…they are the basic necessities of life

.

As breathing is essential to living, so is writing to me. It is an integral part of my existence. As food is to the body, so is writing to my soul. It satiates me. Bathing is a healthy practice. Writing keeps my mind healthy, cleanses my mind and keeps unwanted thoughts at bay.

When you are in love with words, they seduce you, excite you. Writing is my passion. It is my eternal love story and I do not have to worry about heartbreak here.

That thing which is done mindfully and consciously with concentration is meditation. While writing I am totally focused, I shut myself out from the external world. Writing is sacred and holy. Writing is a blam, and is therapeutic.

“It’s only words, words is all I have…” (Song by Boyzone) applies to me and to all those talented writers out there. Writing is my art …. I create sentence, stories and poems which elicit feelings and images everyone can relate to.

Writing to me is fun where I play with words. It’s a wonderland of imagination, a fusion of fantasy and reality.

Last but not the least, writing to me is my identity. It is me, my voice, my thoughts, and my reflections. I am influenced by what I read, but what I write is essentially me.

“Why do writers write? Because it isn't there”
Thomas Berger

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. 
Cyril Connolly

I would like to include a poem, my first poem ..

HOPE.

Steps so light,

As if flying in the air,

Leaves so green,

Were they ever there?

Was I blind?

Or just oblivious,

Engrossed, maybe didn’t care!

Do you really exist

Or is it just a dream?

Do I feel you

Or is it just a game?

Feelings, they make you

And then break you

Some just don’t have a name!

Are you the one who makes the world go round

Or is my head spinning?

Are you the grace I have been looking for

Or is it the mirage within?

Am I blessed

Or being cursed,

The answer lies therein!

No rhyme, no reason

Life has its ways.

Few rights, many wrongs

HOPE IS A RAY!

Thank you.
