Struggling Companions

“If no one comes when you call… walk alone” – Rabindranath Tagore famously wrote. Often in the daily churn of our lives we get lost and begin to feel alone, call others? but they seem to be having fun, they don’t have the chaotic thoughts, they don’t seem to be struggling, is it only me with this deep feeling of unused potential, trying to walk up on a descending escalator.

Or are our blabbering minds also clogging our eye lids, isn’t the world a big stage and we born actors, because the moment you take time and have a honest conversation you will find that aside from all the facade, we all are struggling…that the core of life is struggle.

And if we are all struggling alone, aren’t we all struggling together in a way. So maybe we are not alone, may be we are not the only one, we might not be vocal but we are companions… struggling companions.

Amateur Frustrations

Hello to anyone who is reading…. probably no one, doesn’t matter.

This blog has been created with a certain purpose- to overcome my biggest difficulty at the moment.

Allow me to explain, I am a reporter with a major news agency and I would like to think I am a decent reporter, not the best of the lot yet, but certainly not the worst, however I am a very bad writer, sigh!

To overcome that here I am, you see to be bad at something is one thing, to not to try to change it- that’s unacceptable. After some basic research and understanding my drawbacks and having taken inspiration from the great Josh Kaufman, the renowned author ofย  The First 20 Hours… I have forced on me a self imposed challenge to be better at writing, like decent good and as anyone learning something new for the first time will know the frustrations of feeling inadequate … I too am scared, I feel foolish but more scared of remaining this way.

But i am not quitting without a fight, next 20 days I intend to post 400 words blog with shear practice, multiple drafts and edits and to improve everyday.

Wish me Luck! ๐Ÿ™‚

P.S- I know the writing above is bad, but hey that’s all I know right now :/
