That copywriter chick - 4

So may be I am not good enough yet, but that doesn't mean I will not rock it tomorrow! 

Always remember, your time will come.

I will...

Because I dream so much.

That copywriter chick - 3

There are moments of fear and self-doubt.
There are moments of anxiety and procrastination.
There are moments of inspiration and hope.

And now all these moments have come together and turned into a big thumping ball inside my throat!

I am getting a panic attack. Well, almost.

Since morning I have done a couple of things that I maybe shouldn't have done. I am a little scared of goofing up this opportunity as well. I should simply stop over-thinking.

If things work out, nothing like it. If they don't, they will work out later.
As they say, sometimes you succeed and sometimes you learn.    

After a weekend of fun, it takes a little time for the head to come out of the party zone.

And
Sometimes you wonder what if some things had never gone wrong, what if they stayed unchanged. But there is nothing much you can do about it, is there? So all you do is accept the mess.

I wish...
Why do we wish so much!

Here's something on doodling

It turns out doodling is not as simple as I thought it was. There are various terms used for this meditative art, depending on your intention behind doing it.

Doodling is said to be done out of boredom and mindlessness. It is done when you are blank and randomly scribbling on a piece of paper or your text book even. I had read somewhere that doodling is somewhat like automatic writing because it just happens sub-consciously.  

Zentangle, on the other hand, is an art where you plan and doodle. It includes making repetitive patterns like doodling, but it is well-proportioned and neat. Since it is planned and requires more attention and discipline, the outcome is way better. Zen-doodle is another word for it.

Mandala is Sanskrit for sacred circle. You basically draw a big circle and doodle within it. Many even paint in it. Since centuries, various eastern cultures have been practicing this therapeutic art.

It was interesting to know that this is such a developed art. I wasn't aware that all this while I've not just been doodling, but making zentangles and mandalas as well. :D 

So for all those dummies who call it a mehendi design drawn on a paper, I hope this helped. 

Somewhere in the clear skies

You must have heard people saying that sometimes one has to go farther to get closer to them self. They mean, when we go away from our regular course of life, from our chaotic routine and this pandemonium that we call home, we are able to reconnect with ourselves. We get an opportunity to listen to our heart beating and feel the air going in and out.

I remember getting off the car in the middle of an unknown road that ended at Sandhan Valley eventually. It was 4am in the morning, and it was just us on the road. God, it was so cold! My teeth were clattering. The sky wore a dark shade of blue with a million stars embedded on it. That was the first time in my life when I could see the stars with such flawless clarity. It felt… divine. Truly!

There are many such beautiful and unforgettable moments that place has gifted me. That trip will always be a special one because it marked the start of my journey as a traveler.

No, I may not travel all the time. And no, I’m certainly not trying to emulate some fictitious movie character. I am a real person, with real ambitions, financial uncertainty and big dreams to be an inspiring writer. I just know that I am going to explore the world, little by little. And by doing so, explore myself, little by little.

Also, there is some magic in the murk as it is only during the night when I am able to connect with myself, even in this pandemonium that we call home.

‘...akelepan se chedhi jab guftagu, mere dil ne awaz di...’
Some songs have a soul of their own.

P.S.: I am eagerly waiting for my next trip in May. I’m eagerly waiting to be with myself, and only myself, again.

  

My New Blog

Okay so, in order to write some more I finally acted upon the thought of having another blog.

My new blog address is: http://thedreamsville.wordpress.com/

This doesn't mean I won't be posting here. Of course, I will. This place is my voice as an individual, a woman, a writer.
The new blog is created with the purpose of enhancing my knowledge in Literature.

An incomplete story...

How did she even enter the dark valley, this was not the route she had taken. 

She wondered if she was lost or was this the right path.

Bewildered as she continued to explore the valley to find a way out, it grew darker and darker.

She trudged through the jagged path, thorny branches tearing her skin and laborious insects stinging and buzzing incessantly. 

She was exhausted. Hope was eluding her. She did not wish to go any further. 

But what was she to do? Await death? And for how long?

There seemed no other alternative to moving ahead.

And so she did.

The murk grew thick, and strangely, so did her faith.

She was oblivious to the will that was budding inside of her.

She knew there has to be light at the end of the tunnel. She just needs to get there.

Devious creatures resided deep in the dark valley.

She could hear them and even feel them nearing.

She was valorous, but their deviltry knew no bounds.

All of us, at some point in life, have encountered this phase where it's hard to say no. And then, we learn to do it. I, too, have learned to say no with time. I do hesitate sometimes, but I still do it.

What's the big deal is saying no, anyway? 

Perhaps it's the fear of losing your likeability or hurting the other person.

As I grew up, I realized, saying no is what makes you, you. It defines you in a way. If you don't wish to do something or go someplace or talk to someone, then you don't because that's how you are and that's what you want. Saying yes to the things you wouldn't want to do is hypocrisy. You are portraying yourself to be someone you are not.

And,
My dislike has grown towards people who boast about all good & expensive places they have been to, the latest albums they have in their phone and the juicy gossip they get from their 'sources'.

A relationship that hurts you the most and has no warmth left anymore, is it worth keeping?

If yes, then why? For the memories? What if I say that the misery of today is poisoning the memories of yesterday, is it still worth keeping?

If no, then how do you get rid of it? 

When a bond is irreparable and the desire to make things alright has died, almost... It's stuck like a tattoo on you, you can't do anything about it. It's a curse and you have to deal with it all your life.

Somethings may never change and so you have to change. This can't be easy. Try.

Nonetheless, there always will be a few others who will make life worth living with their unconditional love. :)
Thank you Mr. God, for them.
