My Writing Journey

-


I started writing I was not sure if I will continue it or not. I was not even sure whether I will be publishing my second blog or not. But what motivated me? My self esteem, my believe in myself that I am good at writing. NO! not at all. Before all this I never even considered myself as a writer. Just before the beginning of my college life, started my writing journey. At first I shared my blogs with people I know. I was sure they won't say anything that will break my confidence at the same time they will be honest enough to let me know where I can make required changes. But what they did? They did exactly as I expected. They complimented me for my writing and enlightened me where I can make changes to make my writing better. My sister played a major role correcting my grammatical mistakes and helped me stick to conventional English so that I don't use abbreviations that no one will understand. 

Okay! so after that came a phase when I started sharing my blogs with my friends and some other contacts. Some of them even made fun of me saying if you are so much into writing do my assignments, I will even pay you. Some others said why you are wasting so much of your time when you are not even getting paid. But I never paid attention to them. I focused on those who complimented me, those who appreciated me and those who tried to see things through my eyes. I made them my target audience and started writing for myself and for them. They are my motivation and always will be. I don't know how far will this go. Will this stay my hobby, become passion or maybe a side career some day. 

I am always thankful to the people who stuck by my side in the beginning and every person who is joining me in this journey. 

This is your sign to go and do the thing that you love. Do it for yourself and for the people who believe in you.

Love Love!

The flawed recipe of life

-
Dear Diary, Today, I tried making a recipe—just like Mum. I failed. Dear Diary, Today, I tried something new. It wasn’t perfect. But I savoured the process. And, truth be told, it wasn’t half bad. We spend our lives chasing perfection— Striving to get things “just right,” Holding our breath for the best possible outcome. But somewhere along the way, we forget: There is no such thing as the best. In theory, a cricketer in a T20 match could score 720 runs— Six runs off every ball. Perfect. At least on paper. But we don’t account for no-balls, wides, strike rotations, the chaos between deliveries. Life is just like that match. Wickets fall. People leave. Wide balls happen. And sometimes, those we thought were forever Turn out to be seasonal flus— Brief, burning, gone. Nothing is permanent. And there is no universal rulebook on how to live. No perfect method. No flawless recipe. The only way to live life right Is to live it for real. To show up, imperfectl...

It is always late September in my room

-
The seasons keep changing outside, but in my room, it is always late September. A strange, stretch of time: neither summer nor yet winter. Just a long inhale that never gets to be exhaled. There’s only one portal to the outside world: a tiny window. It lets in slivers of light, moments of wind, just enough to remind me that the world is still alive. Just enough to keep me informed that it moves on with or without me. What about the door, you might ask? The door is not for me to use. It’s too much of an opening. Too much air, too many possibilities. Too much exposure. If I opened it, the fragile insect that’s been growing inside me for some time, that secret, that feeble trembling being, might not survive. This insect is strange. It keeps me sane and drives me mad at the same time. I don’t know if it’s my conscience, or my soul. But I do know this, it throws a new tantrum every day. And oddly, each tantrum gives me a reason to live just one more day. It thrives in the dampness of autu...

Lost and Found in the Void

-
On the walls of delusion in my mind,   There hangs a portrait of reality.   I often walk past it,   Sometimes stopping to give it a long, lingering stare.   But only from a distance I am intrigued by its details,   Yet overwhelmed by the chaos it brings.   This is the world I am meant to inhabit,   Yet how can I belong to it   When I am truly here,   Stuck between worlds?   A tap on my shoulder I turn to find a version of myself,   A whisper: “You don’t belong there.”   Now, I stand at the edge,   Caught between fighting my reality   And embracing the one I long to join.   I delay, but time never waits.   The moment is here,   I must step into the real world now,   Face its chaos head-on.   So I push forward,   Drawing closer to the reality I’ve feared,   Leaving behind a world of...
