Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?' 

Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable .

May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog .

Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also.

Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex.

I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve stress.

 I enjoy writing because i can write anything based on how i am  feeling  at the moment. Sad, happy, agitated-  anything can become good writing.

Instead of scrolling for  long purposelessly on whatsapp and social media, working on my blogs is good for my creative juices . It keeps my mind fresh .

Writing connects me with so many like minded writers and that community spirit is full of josh when everybody is pushing each other to complete a writing challenge.

As the month long festival #BlogchatterA2Z is coming towards an end , sometimes my lungs contract and expand  while i write and at other times my heart starts beating faster as if I just came from jogging. That keeps me stronger from inside.

So all in all I write for my emotions , my creativity , keeping myself challenged and enjoy the taste of accomplishment .

    Absolutely! I used to feel bad when traffic was abysmally low through my blogs initially. Then I would remind myself why I started blogging in the 1st place and all's well then! And you're so right when you say writing is way better than scrolling mindlessly through social media forwards etc ... :)

Zoning out and other tips to free your mind

Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone . The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful  emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak o...

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...
