GAZING STILL????
writing is not something which everyone does.....specially in this age of technology were jabbering over is made so easy with wireless devices sticking to u every time, anytime .writing is one thing which u will do when your teacher almost sits upon you to complete your notes and get them checked ....ever noticed how we pound upon such thing when our need for it arises???? For example all you will need to do is write a letter lo and behold all the time you were busy in [*bunking*] classes ...you are in a matter of second excused citing your unusual type of excuse you have requested your teacher to excuse to read ...as in ---"excuse me mam" and passed on the letter in a fashion as if you are almost into confessing your love for her in a letter....and now in your minds you thank your mumma back home for whacking you hard to complete your ABCD homework!!! Hah! Isn’t it??? so this was writing to save your asses going red !!! You loved penning every bit of it!!!
And now what about writing plane, simple, thoughtful piece, something which makes you think, imagine such things you would never probably dread doing, going or making it in real life (that is in case if u imagine yourself ending up with Angelina in bed!!!) .writing just doesn’t give that high any more i guess...i mean at least at one time it used to for sure! Otherwise why would Shakespeare waste his time on writing plays and not spend time with his wife...at that time may be Rakhi Savant wasn’t hogging our tv screens or Omar Abdullah wasn’t shouting what good and bad he is up to or adrenaline wasn’t going up and down watching MAN-U play or Sachin hitting a yet another ton !!!There were green, green, greener pastures there was tranquility in air that made men sit and pen down all .what should be done to get back that enthu among ourselves???? ....{and come-on don’t give that tree saving, environment saving crap...not all the 1.3 billion Population is sitting to write after all} of course we can’t bring all those blessed things back but still penning down is a way of self interpretation of thoughts the much needed time for OURSELF`S ...isn’t that thing something which we all need???i mean see the poet in you which peeps out when you are down with a loveria ? Or the writer in you which starts scribbling non-stop [irrespective of where the pen is going and were the paper] in exams?? My teacher always told ..."beta at the end of the day you have to learn not write your own ramayan every time” the teacher by ramayan meant the writing i did depending on how i felt about the particular answer at that particular time!!!...and the result being my answer sheet screwed up by the nib of a deadly red pen by writing the word "absurd , too long , unnecessary" i dint understand then ...i mean they wanted us to write ...i wrote -then came the dialogue "teacher hamari bhavnao ko kabh samjhenge?" [When will teachers understand the feeling behind the writing he he ] and I cudnt agree more. so, what we need is a reason, an occasion, a compulsion .Okay so what’s the big deal ...if we can sometimes shamefully and sometimes in a shameless way lie to others what’s the deal if we persuade ourselves into sitting and penning down once or twice a week ?it can be a stomach aching gossip, your vain thing for the Armani shades or even criticizing your beautiful neighbor which you of course can’t do it on his/her face- hey its for "your -own-self" come-on stop –JUST reading.. Start PENNING! I bet you will be clear in mind and at your best every time .
cheers!!!
