Dear Readers,
For all those who indulge in the art of writing in one form or the other, it is a fairly common situation that they suffer from minor writer's block now and then. One just sits dumb in front of his laptop staring at the blank microsoft word page or stares at the page of his/her opened note-book or diary. Thoughts stay afloat in the mind but it gets more and more difficult to communicate them in words.
There is a remedy of sorts which I can suggest out of personal experience. What I did and how I did it, brought back a lot of expression to me. First of all, I decided to travel. Then, I chose to wait for a moment which triggered off a flight to the past, to my own personal history. In this case, it was the moment when I heard pouring rain on the leaves of trees and plants. Strangely and inexplicably, the registration of that moment brought back to the mind memories lying locked inside the dungeons of the dark heart. At that juncture, it was all feeling. I mean, all I did was to feel. There was no compulsion to write or give any form to those ideas and thoughts.
Later, it was on a quiet late moonlit night, that I sat on my desk after a light dinner with a light dessert and took a deep breath. In the background was playing my favorite music- some exquisite masterpieces of thumri genre. There I recollected those lovely underpinnings and it all began to flow. If you still find a little difficulty, think about the one person to whom you have still a lot to say. Imagine she is sitting with her hair open, all ears to you, waiting for you to shed all your vapor like those dark saawan clouds. Soon you would see it getting condensed into lustrous words....
