Curiosity Test

Disciplining myself into a habit seems to be very tough task to me. Take for example, this blogging challenge, I had kept good for about 12 days and now it feels very difficult to maintain it. But the best part is - having done it for these many days, I could not just throw it out of my daily routine easily. It hurts to turn away from writing something before going to sleep. I get a strong urge to do so every night. May be that's how habits are built.

So however boring it may be for any of you who chose to read this after this point, please don't  stop reading in between because once you start eating a meal you got to have it in full to enjoy the full taste however bad it is. Only then you can proudly say, I had the full dinner and it was a complete shit. May be after reading this post you will say to yourself, "what the hell was that I just read?". Some of you may even defy the digital rules and try yelling at me. Any way any reader yelling at his screen is not going to affect me in any way. May be if the reader was intelligent enough to put his words in the comment box it could take a toll on me until I delete it with no remorse what so ever.

Speaking on a stage or writing a book or a blog has a strange privilege. A privilege that enables us to talk whatever we want or write whatever the heck that comes to our mediocre minds(With all due respect some really talented writers and speakers, I am not offending any of you here! These generalization I make here excludes anyone who will feel offended by the rather rude comment). Wow! That was the best disclaimer I can ever come up with. So Jokes apart, the speaker or a writer has this strange privilege. And this privilege is the punishment for the listeners and readers. Because they have to listen and read because they were reluctant to go to the opposite side.

I don't  mean that just because I am blogging something I have the right to abuse the time and effort that you took in reaching my blog and start reading some random or even ridiculous posts like this daring till this point. But deep down I still believe that you are continuing reading this post even after my continuous protests instructing, advising and suggesting you multiple number of times against continuing any further.

Totally believing you that you didn't  scroll down directly to the last para (if you had, please honestly go back to the first para or from wherever you skipped here because shortcut makes us lose the best experiences of a journey), I would like to announce the results of the curiosity test that I just conducted on you. You passed it in the first attempt (even if you scrolled up and down not understanding what's  being talked about in each para, it doesn't  matter here - This is on par with the Indian education system - here only the destination (degree) matters and not the route (blindly memorizing or understanding) you took).

Congratulations. You are very curious because even after many paragraphs of mindless ramblings you read through searching for some profound thoughts underlying in the post. There actually is and it is your exercise to find it.

Comments are welcome. (No yelling please because I have to keep up writing for another two weeks and could not come up with topics every single night. Sorry If I wasted your time)

In search of an addictive narrative

Image
I like telling stories. I like writing stories. And I like showing stories. I believe that the key element which should be present invariably in all these forms is what I call ‘the connect’. When I tell you a story, I should be able to make you feel the story. I wish to think I am capable of it even though I don’t know for sure. While orally telling a story, the impact of the story depends on the voice modulation ability of the narrator and also his ability to conceal his excitation towards the coming events of the story. He should be able to give peeks in to the future but not telegraph the twists. This will enable the audience to be interested in the story till the end. There must always be a hook which holds their attention. Same goes when writing down a story. Here the voice modulation factor is replaced by the range of words the author uses to communicate the idea. It must connect with the reader and should not make him feel as though something is odd with the narration. But vis

I just can't wait to Shine!

“I just can’t wait to shine!”               This is a line from my upcoming short film. It brings out the feeling of a person who desperately want to taste success. It’s not the fame or money that attracts these guys, it’s the self-fulfilling feeling of having done something that others can’t replicate. The burning desire to succeed is all it takes to be successful in life.               People who are talented and especially the ones who are confident of their talent surely will be restless of waiting to succeed. They want success so badly that they push their limits. They explore new avenues to showcase their skills. They don’t feel let down by failures instead they feel happy to have failed earlier. Because failure teaches you lessons that are tested throughout your path to success.               I really feel that there are three kinds of guys in this world. The first is the kind that you find commonly around you – they go with the flow. They don’t actually strain themsel

Fear of responsibility...

Many have this simple doubt – why is a manager paid more than the people under him while all the work is done only by the sub ordinates and the manager simply oversees them? Is it not unfair to underpay a working person and overpay someone who supervises? NO, it is not. The weight of managing people is very high. Only a few shoulders have developed the strength to carry responsibility with ease. Others just have to join the lot which wonders why the hell these managers are given perks. Responsibility is such an important thing. Some people just hate responsibility, some others pass responsibilities by pushing it someone who could well be a scapegoat, and only a few cherish responsibilities as if they were born for it. Feeling responsible for your success is the greatest feeling you can ever get. There are many situations when we succeed at something but we don’t feel it at all. We just sleep like it was any other day. This happens because your heart knows that you are not responsible
