Thought thought all the time, not a word to jot...


(Caution: Author is developing a style to write seriously on lighter notes. Please don’t take this piece lightly!)

These days’ I am feeling quite privileged having a state, some greats call as, the Writer’s Block! As the Webster of the Era, widely known as Wikipedia, suggests Writer’s Block is a condition in which an author fails to produce new work. This also relates to the condition when an Author couldn’t recognize his own work’s worth and underestimates it.

I am regular guy learning to write pieces; comparing me with the ones who have proved themselves in professional writing is far from imagination. But the condition I’m in right now has at least something to do with the big words, the Writer’s Block.

CONDITION: I’m just not able to sit calm, sip coffee, have some water, eat pistachios, crack nuts, listen to some music, and write some piece! Hmmmm…it’s not though very untypical of me. It had happened a lot many times in recent past, but this time it’s different. Other times, I had problems ideating on the topics. This time I have zillions (use of Hyperbole) of ideas, only thing I lack is mood to sit calm, sip coffee…..and write some piece!

CURE: Had I known it, I would have applied it!!! But still, on a general note there may be a few curative measures, like:

1. Write some crap (please, unlike me, don’t publish it; it may ruin your ‘popularity’, if any)

2. Read as much as you can. Now this is one serious measure. The more you read, better you evolve. Reading will not get you out of your non-creative mode, but also open to you newer and wider dimensions. Participating in Blog-Communities' Contest may do wonders!

3. Do jot down the ideas you have while in the Block-condition; they may help you building stories later when you are back on track.

4. Do what you love doing! If you love to travel, get your backpack ready. If you ride, like me, get your bike done! If you are in love, that may be a reason behind the Block; get some time for yourself dude!

5. Meditate, if you can. It's proven to to brighten the subconscious which actually helps to be creative!

6. Try to to sit calm, sip coffee, have some water, eat pistachios, crack nuts, listen to some music, and write some piece! (Yeah that was a cliché, you got right mann!)

HELP: Yess, I need some serious help from the patient souls who have read this piece till now. Do share your Writer’s Block condition and how you fought with it' it will not only help me to write better, but also others too.


(PS: Author of this article never claimed himself a Writer. It’s just his self-admiration mode that gears him into comparing his feeling with the greater community of Writers!)

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Hoolangapar - Home of Indian Gibbons

Known as the Knowledge city of Assam – Jorhat is a small town in the NorthEast India with a unique distinction of sheltering India’s only population of Apes – the Gibbons . Hoolangapar Gibbon Sanctuary spreads across an area of about 21 km sq and is named after Hoolock Gibbons . Not just the Gibbons, it also houses 7 species of monkeys out of total 15 species that are found in India, varied species of birds, spiders and squirrels. A morning walk inside the Hoolangapar Gibbon Sanctuary Gibbons are the Apes and are differentiated on smaller size, lower sexual dimorphism, no nesting habits from the Greater Apes. Hoolock gibbons are the second largest of the gibbons and spread from NE India to Myanmar, with smaller populations in Bangladesh and China. Hoolangapar Sanctuary provides an unparalleled opportunity to meet these gibbons in their natural habitat. Also, the sanctuary has India’s only population of nocturnal primates – the Slow Loris . With distinctive large eyes, every...

Home Quarantined Day - the Last 1

I am not at all getting in to exactly how many days I stay locked in this room. I did not complete the course, neither Dark Season 3, nor the Book and didn't click a lot. I just kept working, on this or that stuff, cold calling people, and watched a lots of movies and web-series. But not Dark S03 - it's too intense; 3 timelines now intertwined with 2 alternate dimensions! I love all these complexities, absolutely, but the series is too heavy. I couldn't complete the course I intended to - was not at all in mood. One day, however, I did set up the camera and the flash and the stand - but like always camera battery died, and I have been too lazy to recharge. A few random shots like the above one and the one below - I didn't do much. But, I kept keeping track of my body temperature and it never crossed the normal number. So, I am good and finally yesterday when Hospital confirmed that "I can live my life", my wife agreed to put an end to this "no-good for an...
