Writing, Among Other Things
The World is in a mess. Hope has become a rare commodity. Uncertainty about the future is the prevailing sentiment.
These are not lines from the introduction to a movie or from a blurb for a dystopian novel. These lines represent the present state of affairs in the world around us. And like movies and books, times like these call for a Hero, don’t they?
Well, calling it a break would be misleading because it has been more than 15 months since I have posted anything on the blog. Almost a year and a half. It was more of a stop than a break.
Calling it “coming back” now is also misleading as it can’t be called that until I become regular at posting here, which I intend to do. I am not sure if I had many regular readers, but if there were any, and you are one of them, I would like to apologise for making you wait so long for the “coming back”.
Quotes are mostly encouraging, and are often shared on social media sites as a source of inspiration. I often go through them to get ideas for new blog posts. Recently, while looking for quotes on writing, I, however, came across quotes that can actually scare new writers.
Don’t believe me? Check these out.
Sometime in the middle of 2017 a company called SaReGaMa launched a music player, Carvaan, in India. When I heard about the product I was extremely sceptical about it. I mean who would want to buy a comparatively large music player, with pre-recorded songs, in an age when YouTube and other similar sites had brought the music of your choice right to the palm of your hands. Even though Carvaan came with an inbuilt radio and supported USB as well as Bluetooth, I had my doubts about the product’s success.
I was wrong.
Soon, the Carvaan began to show up in various houses I visited, and recently one was gifted to me. I checked it up on the Internet and found out that the product had not only become a success but had also helped revive SaReGaMa’s dwindling fortunes.
Do you remember when you learnt to drive?
Most people have positive memories about the experience, and the initial days are exhilarating. You just can’t wait to get behind the wheel again and go on a long drive, can you?
