BLAH BLAH BLAH

I was 15 when I started loving writing. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and sat for an hour and a half and wrote the poem. Those write ups I made before had been compiled back then. I just don’t know where it is now. I have written many poems in my past. For me it's the best way to express my feelings. Sometimes I just have to write it or I will flip. Through that poem making, I find that emotional issues are much easier to express. So, I decided to make a blog then. I learned that I can write and it is always possible to do hard things! I didn’t ever say I can't. I said, I will try! Sometimes we try to show all our emotions through it. There are some things which seem impossible to begin, but when we put in our efforts and the work pays off, then the realization comes like a lightning bolt that we should have done it long back. There was a time I wrote at eleven o'clock at night or even at dawn, I was on the verge of sleep, and these lines popped into my head.  Although, I can’t finish that in just one sitting, I already have the intros and ideas and need to condense it in my thoughts, write it on a piece of paper or more likely type them out on MS Word. All I know is that writing is a beautiful form of thoughts indeed, no matter what time of the day it is. With a little patience, I could form one article. It is one of the greatest ways to express myself. It is where I can say anything I want to release the emotions that I feel. It is a healthy release and easy to do for me (sometimes)

ON THE STRUT, is one of the ways I keep myself writing. I chose the words ON THE STRUT because I subscribe with the thought that my life is flowing like that. Ideas that come out were swagging. There are lots of things to write about and my words just keep on coming.   I will never stop blogging as long as I can think of beautiful things to ponder. On the strut is effective in conveying emotions and almost all the feelings I have in my everyday life. I have a lot to say through this blog. I am a free-minded spirit and being ON THE STRUT means be happy with who you are, be yourself and don't let people keep you down, "own" it and strut your stuff. I have every reason to say these words and am proud to say them. When I started putting up a name on this blog, I added “of darkness”. Why is it so? In the dark, I remain quiet, unmoving. My thoughts would flicker as I stare into the void. It’s always been a habit for me of late. Usually when I can’t sleep, I just love looking amidst in the play of light around darkness. One time, I have shared the link of this blog to a friend. All of a sudden, she criticized my BLOG heading which is ON THE STRUT OF DARKNESS. I’ve been told that with that title, it only appears that I am an emotional being, but I admitted & I’d say, I naturally have quite a melancholic disposition. Sensitive it may sound yet, full of feelings and emotions are in me. So to simplify, I decided to cut it off then it became like that :)

I've stumbled into this wild wilderness of blogging madness. I indulge in personal writings and social activities around. At first it seems that nobody ever reads my blog, but a little later I was surprised to see that my blog has caught the attention of the few people in my stomping ground. In regards to the hobby, I am single and have a lot of time on my hands when I am not working, so it helps me fill in some “alone time” where I am not dwelling on being alone. Though I do connect with other people, I’m not able to do that every day but only a couple days a week as personal schedules will allow. It occupies those times and keeps my mind busy with something that I enjoy instead of just sitting around and letting my mind wonder about things that would bring me down or even make me depressed. Therefore, blogging is a healthy means of avoiding the blues and periods of depression. Human beings are caught in the habit of thought-running as they face living. This pushes the awareness outward so much. Like me, a healthy avenue to step out of this scenario is available through writing. I do this because I want to express myself in ways that have never been seen or understood before. Sometimes, I end up writing abut myself. In this sense, the historic form closest to blogs is the diary. But with this difference: a diary is almost always a private matter. But a blog, unlike a diary, is instantly public. The advantage of a blog is that it can last for a long time and also be edited when needed without leaving any traces. So as I grow old and the world is changing, I would love to re-read my write ups and see how what has been written by me back then. So I therefore say, this ON THE STRUT is my public diary. It always stays spontaneous.

Walking the walk and talking the talk
