I would like to dedicate this blog to the Greeks who invented the alphabets and letters that today I can actually pen down and share my feelings and thoughts with you all. Not long back while staying in hostel in North Bengal during my graduation days, I used to admire one of my seniors for being a dedicated dairy writer. I used to keep a watch on her and tried to imbibe her habit of petting a dairy and literally jotting down the entire day that she spent. To be very honest I tried to snatch that diary from her many times to manage a glimpse of few pages. And every time I tried that, I failed to do so successfully. :(
I always wondered why few people liked to cultivate this habit of repeating the entire day again on a sheet of paper before going off for a good night’s sleep. Few said that they do it to in order to gauge where they went wrong and take precautions not to repeat the same mistakes again. Few said that writing a diary would motivate them to complete a task. While few said that they get to analyse and measure and go for a SWOT analysis of their life. And I actually found out MY REASON of doing so.
There are days when without any logical reason we tend to feel low, depressed, out of the rhythm. No I am not talking of the Monday blues that we feel every Monday while going to office. We the woman may call it a typical mood fluctuation or hormonal misbalance. Whatever terminology we give it but what matters is to sort it out and get back to the rhythm. It was a similar day when things were dull, fade and soggy, when just an hour ago, I was someone; and an hour later I someone else. I lost myself completely. Where? I myself didn’t know.
This is when I decided to scribble down whatever came to my mind. Whatever I felt - Good/Bad/Worse, about people, about nature, about life, its shape, its colour whatever. After getting the entire sheet filled up to my satisfaction, what I could explore was that I could CONNECT to myself, my real self. This is when I imbibed the habit of writing. :)
It doesn’t matter if your grammar is not good. You don’t need to check your Nouns, verbs and adjectives either. Just keep on jotting down whatever comes to your mind and release the blocked ideas that tend to block you completely. Something called the N factor (No factor) would try to stop you from doing so as it every time does. But to overcome the N factor is the real challenge. And it really works!!! :)
Try it out once on your own...
Release, write, let go and find yourself back. Sounds easy!!! Doesn’t it??
