I know I have not written for a long time. In my defense, I did not find anything that inspired me so much as to write about it. OK, also because I was really lazy. But recently I got to thinking, if I am planning to be a journalist, I might as well get over the "Starting trouble!". But what will I write about? I did not know where to start. Then again, I believe in the great concept that has now been converted into cheesy dialogues for Hindi films.."when you actually seek an answer ( or anything for that matter), you will most certainly find it"; if you want it that bad. So, while I was attending a Kathakali workshop in Irinjalakkuda, I met an experienced journalist+author, who also used to publish his own magazine, but had to quit due to lack of profit; the life-story of most journalists. I got an opportunity of talking quite a lot with him and imbibing the useful tips that he had to offer.
I cannot quote everything that he said, but the content matter was, that I had to choose my forte. Subject is everywhere- just look around. I remember reading what Wordsworth once said "The meanest flower can make me cry!". That's what I had been missing. Its not that I did not have a choice. It was just that my choice was not to choose!
Now, I know what you are thinking- everyone knows this. I've been hearing stuff like this from as long as I can remember. And that is the problem. Just to say you believe in something is not the same as experiencing it. I can say that confidently, because I am now. And that is the only reason why you are seeing this post in my blog- list. It may or may not be liked. Hell, it may not even be read. But I don't care. Atleast I tried, and as of now, it more than enough for me; until now, I was was not in a position to even do as muchas to try, because I thought it would not turn out right! But now I know, it has to turn out right. Not this post may be, but eventually, I'm sure to write a piece that will make someone blurt out a "WOW"!
Expect a post some time soon....;)
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu!!
