This blog was born when I saw eyebrows being raised when I told people that I wrote for a living, yet did not have a blog of my own. But, as you can see, after an enthusiastic start, I’ve neglected it for close to a year. The problem with writing for a living is that you really don’t feel like writing for fun. Yes, you do have thoughts and ideas that beg to be put down in your creative style, but by the time you’re done with work for the day, all you feel like doing is switching off your notebook and switching on the TV, curling up with a book or catching up with friends and family.
But when the writing bug is in you, it never lets go, as I realized today. The dormant germ hibernating inside all this time was suddenly awakened today (no particular reason), and I decided to dust this blog and bring it back to life. Only after I started to write (the next article) did I realize why I needed to continue with this, why I needed to write for myself and not just for work alone – it’s because you need to feed not just your stomach, but also your soul.
So I begin anew, and I hope that the process of nurturing my soul does not take too long a break being relegated to the backseat in the hustle and bustle of everyday responsibilities.

When what you feel or perceive in your inner mind , certainly need to be ventilated to be free and that freedom lifts to the balanced mind of looking at the greater vision of world.So what you have perceived as a compulsion apart from the bread winning game of practical world by using the techniques of our brain ,is true to many people.Some don't realize and be a part of everyday happening, mingling and looking with wonderment in what is happening around them till they breath the last.
