August 15 Re- Write?This is probably the most eventful year of my life upto now.
I went to this beautiful resort in Goa with friends and made sure I got drunk on the local beer every single day of my 5 day trip. I finished my MBA and called my parents and grandparents down to the ISB campus for a beautiful convocation function. My grandmother fell ill at the end of the trip and I spent an anxious month nursing her back to health. I started a new job in a new city (Pune) and had all the corresponding headaches relating to shifting base. And finally I decided to get married to my long distance boyfriend of two and a half years. The wedding may be at the end of this year sometime and before that happens I'll fly off to the US for 2 months.
In short - this year is eventful.
And yet, this is the only year of my life when I have not felt the need to write. Writing - the form of expression that has been my constant companion ever since I can remember, no longer is my first instinct. For as far back as I remember, I needed to write when something happened - when I visited a friend or a new place, when I got another world-saving idea, when I read a pretty verse or well-written novel. People talk, crib, rant, sing, dance, act, laugh. I wrote. And just like that, I stopped.
So what made me stop I wondered today as I was musing my favourite question - the purpose of the whole enchilada (a.k.a. this life). Some theories theories stood out as having part of the solution. Maybe now that I talk to this other person on a daily basis and tell him all I think, I don't need another medium of expression. Maybe I am just getting old and its time for the imaginary friends (including the diary) to die. Maybe I am just bored and once I recover, I shall be back writing award winning, heart -rending books in the next year. Maybe I have seen too many changes, become too practical and nothing touches anything inside anymore. Maybe I have been insanely buzy this year participating in the events that made the year eventful so I haven't had the time. Maybe I have writer's block.
Or maybe this is not a phenomena that needs so much examining in the first place. I think the last idea is the one I most like. So I am gonna stop wondering why I don't write anymore. And if someone else still visits this blog - they should too. Maybe I will write again, maybe I won't but it was fun while it lasted is all I can say.
So dear friends (this could be a monoact delivered to an empty hall) I shall see you when I do. Till then...toodle-ooo
