"Writing"....does that sound heavy...do you feel tired just by seeing this 7 letter word??? Well its common. It happens to almost 60% of the people who have passed their education phase and to 90% of the people who are still studying. And I was no different too!! Just the thought of holding a pencil and scribbling a string of words to form a sentence used to be tiring and writing essays seemed like climbing Mount Everest...phew!! I could never understand how could people write so much. That was so much pain.
And then one fine day I expressed my thoughts in words...don't get imaginative coz I was making notes for Business Studies. A subject that really intrigued me. The words 'strategy', 'delegation', 'planning', 'management'...they all sounded musical. Anyways these could intrigue me only till my final exams.
But during that "notes making" process I actually liked writing. So I tried to take this liking to another level, and wrote my first poem...my first piece of creative writing. Believe me it was so thrilling. I just could not believe myself, it felt as if a new window had been opened. A window to a different world. A world of feelings, thoughts and words. I had figured out a new way of expression. And it was simply fantastic.
Slowly this one time charm started to grow more and more and I went on writing. Suddenly the most scary thing had become a thing I was most fond of. And still am. The small thrilling experience helped me shape my career. And now I feel elated to be called as a writer. Coz everyday I get to look at the things from a new perspective, learn something new, unlearn something old. Everyday I get to create something new, re-look at the things in a way that I never knew.
Wow what a wonderful thing writing is!!
