It was on rainy 06.06.2013
afternoon, that Ishithaa, dragged me to writetribe and pushed me to “Why I
Write”. At first I wanted to deny, but that would have shattered all her
enthusiasm. So I promised her that I will...
Now its 4.15 pm, so here I begin
my writing...
“Usually I am very lazy at lettering,
but it’s a fact that writing always makes me free of my thoughts and feelings.
I always try to be impersonal through my words, but the closest of my friends
can just sneak out a glimpse of my personality in a bare form. I believe that,
I am not gifted with that instant imagining mechanism, which catalyzes the
writing process, and hence feel handicapped at times when I can’t scribble
constantly. What made me write on this particular subject is the compulsion
from Ishithaa, one my rare friends who writes. I was never a serious writer
(nor am I now), & prefer poems, as it helps to upkeep the much needed
brevity. Actually it was my wife Parvathy, who ignited the writing spirit in me
at first (as you see most of my creations will be dedicated to her), & Ishithaa
always boosted it up. But my first phase as a writer was rather unsuccessful
which I owe myself, and I owe my second phase to Parvathy & Ishithaa, but I
can’t assure the success rate.”
“Writing is yet another good
means of being popular, but my writings usually hovered around criticizing the
societal norms and unusual romance, which might have prevented me from
inspiring and influencing a big mass, or maybe I never wanted to be popular
through my writings (chuckle). ... (I am stopping...for the time being). Its 5.30pm!”
**************************
It’s after 4 more days, on 11.06.2013 that I am
continuing...
2.50pm
2.50pm
“The constant questioning from
Parvathy that whether I blogged anything new, and on the other hand Ishithaa
was driving my nerves, reminding me of my promise, that has led me to write
again.
Whenever I wanted to be a serious writer, I have turned up being more of a philosopher and paved the way for arguments. So writing has not only made me notorious among the elite bloggers, but it also helped me in being honest and to express myself in a more profound manner. But beneath all this the question still lingers around... “Why I Write”...to which I should say that keyboarding letters into Microsoft Word 2007, has always helped me in understanding myself better...”
Pardon me if this is an abrupt
ending, but I think my conscience is pleading me to stop...
3.09pm.
3.09pm.
Now as I show it to Ishithaa, her
immediate response will be ...guess what.... another promise from me, to write
on a linky, which she will be launching soon... (Exhausted)
Lazy Me!
This prompt is in response to WriteTribe prompt and also in response to the Thursday bloghop #80 at the Writer’s Post.

ReplyDeletewow that great...you should always enjoy writing...
Deletehaha! Somehow your post brought a smile to my face I could live through all the elements you quoted with your wife and friend pushing you. Lovely Sreedev :) Would you believe I guess this is your first write up as in not poetry that I am reading! You must intercede a few more along with your poems which are definitely out of the world :)
ReplyDeleteRicha
Thank you Richa...you are right...as I mentioned I found myself more comfortable at poetry...I will try to intercede more write-ups in between...
DeleteWhat a drag huh? Especially without inspiration?
ReplyDeleteOh...dude...was that a compliment...I doubt...he..he
Deleteheheh, interesting instroduction of yourself. keep on doing it :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Panchamitra...
DeleteChasing the impersonal self through the spontaneous creation of words is what makes a writer with a difference.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Kajal...my intention through this post was fulfilled.
DeleteHmm... so this might have been a poem on "Why I write?" too :D but turned out into a five day saga? ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, inspiration should strike indeed. :)
Haha...oh yeah... a five day saga...but I loved writing despite of being lazy..
DeleteSorry to have tortured you with this via Isistha, Sreedev! I must say you did a good job in spite of the harassment! ;)
ReplyDeletehahaa..."Torture" and "Harassment" both at a time is too heavy for me...
DeleteI enjoyed reading that. Why do we writers write? Because we love to and yet, it's difficult to start and continue. And sometimes it's difficult to stop.
ReplyDeleteI'd better stop now - LOL
