Charity or Business??

These days we find so many TV ads or sale exhibitions or something similar which claim to channel some percentage of money made through the sale to charity or for a cause!

And… I have seen so many people who get “moved” by these ads and immediately empty their pocket in the hope of doing something good! Well.. who doesn’t want to “feel” good about themselves? And, this is just the right kind of opportunity that most of us have been waiting for to prove to ourselves and also to the on-lookers that we are indeed ‘very kind’ and possess a deep-rooted interest in humanity!

Its the “reading block” rather than a “writers block”!

WordPress.com blog keeps sending those topic ideas daily for getting rid of the “writer’s block” and encouraging its users to write more!

But, things never work like that for me! I will almost never ever do something because someone else is asking me to do it! I need to have a valid self-motivation behind it!

These topic suggestions won’t work for me because, I actually don’t own them – they are not mine! I can’t think for someone else. I would love to write about some idea or thought or something which has actually sprouted in my mind and gets incubated there for a while when I find it interesting enough to pen down in my blog! That way, I am more motivated to write – to share my thoughts and feelings to this virtual world through my space – rather than just writing something because I committed to blog!

Also, recently I found one more interesting thing about myself – Its not a writer’s block for me – I would rather call it as a “reading block“. Because I don’t feel like writing anything at all – unless and until I read something in the first place – yes something! This something is mostly irrelevant to what I write. But to me, the writing spirit comes into active mode only when I start reading something! Probably my creativity gets boosted and entertained only when I start reading in the first place. If I get into this “reading block” – when I don’t read, I don’t write as well! I am able to get that energy and motivation for writing only when I read something interesting!

So.. how about you? Do you have this “writing block” first of all? Or you are always spontaneous? In case you do have the ‘so-called writing block’ – how do you overcome it?

Power of Music!

Have you ever realized the power of music?

It was not until I got affected by Jaundice I did not realize the value of food! I was affected by Jaundice so much that I was completely deprived of any food other than plain rice (without salt!!!) and watery butter-milk (it was more of water and did not have any taste! ). I lived on such a bland diet for almost 3/4 months which really made me realize how important the food is (and of course health!)!

Why they say pregnancy period is golden!

Well.. another 4 months passed by before I could catch up some time and write whats been there in my mind..

Whoever I spoke to about my pregnancy told me that this is a golden period and I have to enjoy it to the fullest! It wasn’t long before I realized why they pregnancy period is “golden”. Actually speaking, it is not at all “golden” or “fun” or “relaxing” or whatever nice terms they use – especially when you are going to compare it

Its been so long!

I just realized that the last post I made was somewhere in March – 4 months back!!  Well.. Its been so long! Many things have kept me busy and away from laptop – one important thing being -  preparing my body and mind for moving to next phase of my life : parenthood! So, I am gonna add one more role to the list of roles I am playing already – ‘Mother’ as well by next few months! And after that, I am not really sure how much time I can devote this little online personal space of mine!
