There are times when I cannot write a single word in spite of having ideas or resources available. I vividly remember taking 6 months to complete "Haven 1.0" and 18 months to finish up "The Death of A Phoenix". At times, the frustration of incompletion or dissatisfaction took a toll on me. I would feel demoralized to such an extent that sometimes I would feel like scrapping the whole idea. But I realize that suffering from writer's block is a normal thing. It is okay to fail in writing sometimes. There is nothing to feel ashamed about it. It's perfectly normal. Whenever I feel that I cannot write anymore, I temporarily forget about myself being a writer. I resort to reading lot of books, magazines, newspaper articles. At times I try doing something that I haven't done before. Like once I tried my hands on cooking. I also love travelling. It helps me rewind myself. (less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

The best thing about being a writer is being expressive. An old proverb says, "A pen is mightier than a sword." Writing makes me feel strong yet subtle, invincible yet mortal. Writing keeps me grounded and focussed. The best thing about being a writer is that it sets my imagination free. Like I always say, "I sin by my thoughts... Writing cleanses me."(less)

India, my India?

A painful realization dawned on me recently: I may not be able to exercise my right to vote, for the foreseeable future. That is the life of expats who attempt to make a life in a country different from where they are born.

I have spent most of my life in India; I grew up in India, I grew as a person in India. The person I am today is because of everything I saw, learnt, read, heard and observed gr Read more of this blog post »
