One for the New Year

I was just reading the various posts on my blog, and I realized that I haven’t made any postings in the New Year. I did have a lot to write about, but somehow managed to ignore them. I will write about them. When? God Knows.

For today, it’s just some random thoughts. I haven’t made much progress with my writings lately. Not that I regularly write, and I am applauded for the same. What I mean is that I haven’t been able to stick to my routine of writing something everyday. I did have a friend’s Laptop in my house, but nothing seemed to happen. I just got bored with the laptop. I feel I am more comfortable the desktop.

Work has been a little hectic in the last two weeks. We had an exhibition and, we all were all pushing ourselves way beyond our limits to add the final touches. But, the whole experience was fun and satisfying.

I have written a small story, which I want to upload here. I am still not sure with the title. I am toying with different options. Let’s see what best comes out of the creative hibernation that I have gone into.

Fountain of Joy

I haven’t begun my work yet. I am feeling a little low. Perhaps, it’s one of those ‘Monday Blues.’ The exact reason; I do not know.

I read an article about the joys of writing with a fountain pen. It has forced me to use my fountain pen again. Not that I had discarded it in one of the dusty corners, but I did leave it idle on the desk for quite some time now.

I have always felt special about writing with a fountain pen. There is something in it that’s simply inexplicable. The sheer pleasure of the nib caressing the white sheet of paper feels exulting. As one of the eminent writers put it, “I love the sound of the nib making love to the paper.” The feel of the nib caressing the pristine white paper triggers a divine feeling and entices you to continue writing. This sheer pleasure secretes a hundred thoughts.

With the growing use of computers and laptops, the habit of writing with a pen has been completely lost. Perhaps, that’s why I cannot write for long with a pen. Secondly, I also feel ‘I cannot write’ without a computer. But, I am seriously thinking of getting back to writing with a pen. I plan to write at least a paragraph everyday with a fountain pen. I am sure, in some time, the sheer feel of the pen giving shape to thoughts on paper will overpower the handicap of luxury offered by technology.

Resurfaced

Yeah! It's been a very long time since I have blogged. I had a blog earlier, but after the switch over( google did some changes) I lost my password and the blog. I did manage to salvage the posting, but could no longer log in to post. Since then, I haven't been blogging at all. I have wanted to start a new blog, but again didn't really have the inclination.

So, finally after a long hiatus I have resurfaced again. I must confess that the name I had in mind (and I was very proud that it is very unique) had already been taken. So I did spend some time to actually zero-in on a name. I am happy with what I have finalized on.

I shall soon update the other posting.

Till then chow.
