 The past few weeks have been quite hectic, and I haven't been able to keep up the write everyday charade up I'm afraid. However, I did write few articles so I can be let off the hook I suppose. Actually that is something I'm feeling happy about. Two of my articles got published. I wrote about Dr. Ambedkar, the two articles had some overlapping points but I think they each have their own tone. I know it is probably not all that much but I am extremely happy about it, and I think deep inside I am a little bit proud about it, perhaps it is also to do with the positive response I got from all those around me. Apart from that I also published a small write up on my Facebook wall on the eve of Ambedkar Jayanthi. I think it was a part of the process of healing from all the hurt and pain. I don't know if I ever will completely 'get over it' but I probably am in a slightly better place than I was two months back. I shall take that as a win, even if it is small.
 One of the good things about writing all this is that I feel a lot more inspired to write more, I think it gave me some kind of confidence that I have skill and potential and that if I put my mind to it I can write well. I suppose I am sort of riding on the success of my recent articles, and that is perhaps why I feel I am in a better place emotionally, so I thought it might be a good excuse to try and get back to getting my self a little more organised. Even though it was stressful those few days, it was quite exhilarating to keep busy and to be able to do something productive I must say.
 I only hope I am able to keep up this streak and perhaps try to more sincere in writing everyday as far as possible.

I can feel myself drifting away from all the things I wanted to do, every time I try harder to stay on track it makes it so much more difficult to do them, and if I just stop trying, I am overcome with guilt which creeps up on me the moment I seem to lose focus and it weighs me down like a heavy burden on my shoulder. So basically I am stuck in a loop of trying to just take a break and feeling guilty and straying further away from my goals and aspirations. And sometimes when I contemplate hard about where things are going I go on a down an even more dangerous path and I am afraid of what would happen if I go there.  So I keep trying to shun the guilt and numb all feeling and escape to a place that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. While I am able t do that when I am wide awake, I seem to have no control over what I dream, it taps me on my shoulder in my dreams and wakes me up so I don't sleep and keep pondering over what my life is going to be like. And that is one of the mos...
Yesterday, I watched the movie Bombshell, it stirred up a lot of emotions for me while watching that movie, I couldn't hold  my tears back, while watching it, especially this particular scene, wherein there are women who were harassed by Roger years ago, and each of their experiences are played out one by one, it was very distressing to hear it, this was the scene that shook me. There very many others, but this particularly had some impact on me. It has never been easy for women to come into the workforce, women have always been a lopsided world, the way things work for men are different and different for women, you are put at a disadvantage right from the start even before you can begin, because you're a woman, it automatically is assumed that whatever you do, a man can do it better, it doesn't matter how good you are at the job. The first thing you're seen as is a sexual object more than a good worker, what ever the role may be, if someone helps you out in somethin...

The Beginning

As a young adult I have always wanted to be a writer, and i wrote a lot of stuff, which i wouldnt exactly call great, so i felt embarrassed about it and then i stopped and then i started to write again but, no longer with the same ease that i did earlier on, now I keep struggling to write, I keep getting stuck at every point, I don't know what to write about so I thought of taking it up as a challenge this year, to write at least 250 words every day, about anything, without worrying about how good or bad it is, and see how that might help me in honing my writing skills. I hope I am able to follow through on this and not leave it like I did before. Earlier I thought I could postpone one day's writing to another but that only makes it worse, so the important thing is to not keep any backlogs I suppose. Let's see where this takes me.
