The rains are back. And so am I!
Those of you who live in a dream called Mumbai, might not prefer the former. I am not sure of the latter.
There is not a real difference to the rains this time. They are as regularly irregular, seriously comic, painfully joyous, a change which is not!
Someone recently commented on my blog that my writings are getting closer by the day! Thanks for pointing that out to me. It's not that i didn't know it was happening. It's just that it felt a lot better when it came from a stranger.
People, i believe write for a myriad of reasons. Some write for themselves. Like Ayn Rand. They don't have a preferred audience. Some write for an audience. Like Salman Rushdie. Craving for attention. I lie somewhere in between. No, not between the authors. But, between the styles.
And, normal people don't write forever. There comes a time when all that you want to say is said. Then comes the golden silence. A pause which speaks more powerfully than the most eloquent speaker. That's when the writer has arrived. Am not even hinting at the prospect that i might have reached there. Well, i haven't even begun.
I do want to write. Each additional moment am spending on this planet convinces me that writing is all that is there to living. Attaining nirvana is not for me. All i want to do is to communicate. Talk, speak, write and listen. That's all i want to do. Get a life, did i hear?
:)
Well, am at the least, trying!

The thoughts are very well written. you give an impression of an amateur writer but i feel u use all the experience u have had by reading all the great authors and try to improve each day, each word u write. u talked about lance armstrong before, in some previous article, i beleive he also did that. i beleive in myself too, i beleive somethings in life are acheivable and am out there to do it, silently just like u r ( pls do take the writing on this blog as an exception). The best a man can be is himself, and if he beleives that is enough, i guess he would be the most peaceful man on this planet. thats all i am trying to be. my peace resides in knowing everything in life, learning everything. am i aiming too high, i dont care, i beleive i will be peaceful after this, and i am just doing it. this was ironically inspired by an ad, which often are blamed to sell us unrealistic dreams. the ad was from Nike. The tag line inspires me, the philosophy drives me. i dont know if i will be successful, but as u said, i am atleast trying....
