Footsteps.

-

Hello! I bid you welcome to my blog.

I was introduced to writing by my best friend. Now not mentioning my best friend is not possible, because she was one who persuaded me and helped me through all of this. Even this blog that you see, is because of her guidance. She is a beautiful person, and more so a beautiful writer.

When I started to write, I was mesmerized by the power of words. I am an avid reader and when I read a book, it gives me such pleasure to feel the words hit my mind. I think books are the only thing that I actually take seriously. You know how parents complain about how their children don't listen to them but listen to some outsider? For me, books are the outsiders. The thing is, I just love words. Be it written or spoken. The first time I wrote I was scared. Scared about the fact that I am not good enough or what will people think? To be honest, I didn't tell my best friend about writing for 6 months after I started. She was furious when I finally sent her one of my writings and she liked it.

Such small things helped me grow my confidence in something I loved to do. However, even with my low level of confidence it didn't stop me from writing for me. I wrote whenever I felt like, and read it a hundred times. When I used to read it, I used to feel happy. The kind of happiness that I get when I dance with all my heart. Slowly and steadily, I wrote and in the same pace it came out that I write. This is one example of coming out to people about my love for writing.

I am not anyone who is extraordinary. I am not the best writer in the world or even in school. I still have to learn and explore so much! This is just one of the many initiatives that I have taken to improve, learn and explore. I am still not very confident, and I have sweaty hands, a running heart and a skeptic feeling about how people will perceive this while I write my first blog ever. But for a start, I want to tell myself that you have done a good job for coming this far and that although you may get negative views about what you write, don't take it as something negative and ponder about it nervously, take it optimistically for that is the whole point of this blog, to grow, step by step.

With that, I leave you and assure you that your views are welcome, negative or positive.

    You don't have to be good to start,
    You have to start to be good.
    Congrats on taking this first step towards becoming a writer. Follow your heart and you'll never run out of ideas. Follow your head and you'll never stop looking for them.

I don't know much about the universe

-
I don't know much about the universe. It's like someone who lives in my neighbourhood who I know exists but feels so foreign to me. I know that only 4 percent of the universe has been discovered so far. There is so much out there and so much that may just be a figment of our imagination.  I don't know much about the universe. But when I closed my eyes and went into a deep sleep, I was transferred into something that felt like the universe. It had a dark highlight to it that engulfed everything but it also had these twinkling somethings and colourful twirls that distanced themselves from each other so symmetrically and yet, so randomly.  I don't know much about the universe. But I know that it was a pathway built prior to my entrance into this world towards you. I tried to make sense of it but I couldn't and I just went along with it, like I was floating. It wasn't just my body that was floating but also my mind. It was in a daze; a daze that felt like love but i...

The trick-master and his trick

-
Long time ago,   When the oceans were of a safe level, When the greenness of the trees overshadowed the concrete of the buildings,  When the air we breathed was, in fact, air we breathed and not a toxic mixture of many,  There lived a trickster who was famous for one of his many tricks.  Lovingly referred to as Mr Trick,  He preferred a name that did a one above, Trick-Master.  He lived under a grassy hill,  Away from most of the population,  But his jovial self could not stay away from the crowd for long;  Because as night fell, His legs did, too; his hands tinkled, for  The result of his daily trick lit a fire in him such that it must, it should, be satiated immediately.  Every evening he would take a walk around the market, People would greet him, scream a warning, “Mr Trick is here!” And hide, they would, but only from his gaze.  His gaze held the power of the trick.  Look at them directly and lo!...

Prism

-
My eyes were closed but if you would look closely you can see a slight movement which is equally fascinating as it is weird. My body felt limp. But now and then, my legs would jerk in a manner that would not only feel like I am falling but there would also be this feeling creeping up my legs telling my brain to keep moving them. And for what? It's called restless leg syndrome.  Amidst all of these activities happening in my body, you came into my dream. Your presence in my dreamworld was totally uncalled for but I guess it was just a matter of time for you to show up. Maybe I had been thinking about you or put you way behind in my head that my brain was forced to bring it back up so it doesn't burst out of my head.  It was a strange phenomena. Somewhere in the universe (we're back there, and certainly, I still don't know much about it), we were floating inside a prism. You were on one end of it (up) and I was on the other (below, one of the sides). We were ricocheting f...
