Not Knowing What to Write...

      Each day, almost every moment, there is one thought that crosses my mind-‘I have to write’. The very next moment, there is another thought-‘I don’t know what to write’. And that’s how the brainstorming begins. Brainstorming yourself to think of a topic to write about. Brainstorming to write something where you can express your opinion.  Even while I write this, I don’t know what will come next. And hence comes the thought of writing about “not knowing what to write”. How ironic!

       Writing about ‘not knowing what to write’; well, that’s quite difficult a task. A task where you don’t know where to begin and you’re equally clueless about the end. All you know is that you have to write; for it provides peace, it provides pleasure; it provides satisfaction about the fact that you have written something, you have scribbled the pages (no matter how badly). All you know is that you have to continue writing because your mind simply counterviews the idea of not writing; because the mind knows well that it is through this writing that, tomorrow I will know of what I have to write. It is through this writing that I will develop and fabricate ‘my style’ of writing, where I will emulate no other writer; because writing is personal. Your written works are something that you are and not something that you wish to be like or someone you aspire to be like.

       Writing is not something that comes when someone forces you write. Writing is something where thoughts flows from your ‘mind’ to your ‘hand’ and then onto the paper; just like tributaries flow to meet the river and the river flows to meet the ocean- the ocean which is a masterpiece created by the coming together of countless drops of water. And unless the thoughts flow from within, writing is pointless.

       And most importantly, writing is not something that gets over merely by stating a conclusion. Because writing is forever; writing is immortal.
