i'm back....after a VERY long time....thanks to Mr 'P'.... :)
i started writing this blog cause i needed an outlet....and i guess i shud keep at it....cause it really did help...relying on people to be that outlet is really not a very reliable option....you see, people have their own moods, their own lives and you can't really expect them to listen to you every single time....Even if they do listen....you can't expect them to be non-judgemental...cause it's human nature....to judge....to make assumptions....to jump to conclusions....
In short, this is a much better way of letting off steam....
i'm in the second year of my mass comm course now....dunno how much more i've learnt bout journalism....but i've definitely learnt some stuff bout people.....and i've discovered some stuff 'bout me as well....not all good i'm afraid....but not all bad either... :)
One very important thing i've discovered bout myself is that i tend to make the same kinda 'mistakes'....i tend to read more deeply into things than i need to....end up seeing things that are not really there....feeling connections that do not exist....and then expecting things that i shudn't be expecting....*sigh*....but hopefully i've learnt my lesson this time....i won't be getting too 'friendly' with anyone anytime soon....
More 'bout life and lessons the next time (which should, hopefully, be soon!)....thank you again, Mr P..... :D

My dear Anya,
ReplyDeleteIn the old days, when the computer hadn't been invented; and the www and blogs were not around; did you know people wrote with pen or pencil on paper? One saying went, "History is written with pencil."
In those paper days, what is now a "blog" used to be called a "diary" and lucid writers like you, dear Anya, would end the day with "Dear diary ..."
These diarists wrote strictly to express themselves. But some of these diaries were published. The best of them is by Boswell. Have your read it?
Your style too is unique and easy on the eye, once you get used to the logic of the spelling rules: with words spelled the way you say them, like our lovely Indian phonetic tongues.
By writing a blog, I can assure you that you will get a lot off your mind, if only you keep at it diligently; shrugging off your laziness, and typing away whenever the mood sweeps over you. But you will have to be honest and NOT pull your punches. Otherwise, it will not work the wonders that it can do for you.
Also do not worry about offending people. Give people nicknames, the way you call me "Mr. P". That way you do not identify them, just in case people know whom you're talking about and they too can hide behind your nickname.
But the message will go through anyway.
Your crazy and uptight,
"Mr. P."
