ok.i have got to write sth.i hav to save my blog.why is writing so hard? i mean when i think of people who are happy without straining themselves ,of the many who come to my mind writers,poets are the first ones to be on the list.mainly coz writing does not need constant practice like athletics,study etc and comes by birth.writers do wht they are good at,they like it,they get paid for it and to top everything they become famous for it too!!(atleast wit the nerds).but after this undesirable lapse of mine which even prompted someone to laugh at it(yeah ravi sankar i m talking abt you.i don care all i hav got are 2 followers)i m starting to look at things differently.maybe they are not tht happy afterall.i mean they do get writer's block/stall or whatever they call it.once they become famous they hav got a reputation to maintain which is jus too much.one can see this with sportsmen too.the pressure is too much to bear.this is exactly wht separates the good from the best.its one thing to be exceptional one time but totally another to be consistent in anything.so how come people succeed? .well i think its coz they don care abt it.i mean they ll definitely want it but not care abt it.then again this definitely is not always the case.i mean nuclear bomb and many other vital advancements happened at desperate times.Times when men were expected to deliver.there has not been much advancement in theoretical physics since 1930.this is one field where experimental results and technological advancements like telescope,high accuracy equipments etc can help only so much.in other words i think this field is a measure of true ability of the mind.its the pressure moments tht bring out the true ability of humans.a boxer won know if his ribs are broken during the course of the fight.the mind would be so engrossed in the fight to actually care about it(yeah abt the broken ribs tht could be fatal).but pressure can cause disaters too.take germany,maybe it was not the only reason but it did play a part.take this post.so my point is you cant make a solitary solid point.there is always two sides to a coin.birth and death.yin and yang.to get sth one has to give away sth.there cant be sth out of nothing.there cant be a "perfect soln" which solves everything.now i have gone way off course.typical av din complete wht he started but has written enough :)

After a long post that transcends between theoretical physics and second world war with a few lines being irrelevant, i think the point made is quite clear. The point as far as i comprehend is that Most men perform not when they like to but when they are needed to. But exceptionally , some things are not done for need but for a penchant towards them . Blogging , is certainly one of em . U don need to blog for survival. So, blog if u like to .The level of one's interest can be determined the next moment u see a post with no title ;) . otherwise the post was nice and was easily taken in by. I don remember stopping anywhere in the middle. Alas, i strongly disagree with the controversial line "writing does not need constant practice like athletics,study etc and comes by birth". virtues are inherited by birth. That's ok. But , either that a writer by birth without practice can become a good writer or that a person void of writing skills by birth with practice cannot do good is totally absurd . Even study skills can come with little amount of practice but that theory wont suit well in case of writing.
ReplyDeletei feel one's style of writing is more like his looks.unique.one form is liked by people while one is not.but wit writing you can experiment .dump one style n make a totally new one.but you cant copy/"practice" it.the more you read the more liable are you to plagiarism.besides this experimentation is not compulsory unlike the practice which an athlete like bolt undergoes to stay where he is.
