I have no specific topic to write about today, but I just wanted to write something as a way to get my day started, so this probably is going to be some random collection of thoughts crossing through my head right now. I am listening to Angel in your eyes, by LSD (Labrinth, Sia, Diplo), and I am literally dancing while typing this out. I really like the beats of this song. I think this is a great way to start my day, with music. Honestly I always did that at one point. I would begin my day with music, of course it used be prayer first and then music. At various points in life I have Noticed, I had music playing on ALL.THE.TIME. I think it started off in School, Papa had gifted me this cute little radio, it was so tiny, it would fit in my hand, I could hold it up to my ear and listen, it almost looked like a cell phone, I remember my matron once thought it was a phone and almost confiscated but stopped after realising that it was only a radio. I had it with me all the time, but it was in college that I became all the more attached to it. I would carry it everywhere. That is what helped me in picking up the little bit of Kannada I do know. 

Listening to Radio was something that was always going on in the background no matter what happened. And I wanted to become a Radio Jockey so badly, I wanted to do it like a part time thing. But unfortunately I didn't know Kannada so fluently so I never even tried. I never thought trying was an option to begin with. Looking back now I see how much of self doubt I was filled with, if Only I even tried a little perhaps things would have been different, but then again things were so different then and I do think it would have been no east task to pull off, I definitely didn't have the same amount of freedom I have today. Perhaps if the circumstances were even a little bit different, I would have tried. 

Now I don't think I actually want to take up the job of an RJ, although I must admit, watching Fraser did take me back a little. But then again the world also evolved so much from back when I was in college. Radio today has become more of an advertisement channel with a few songs sprinkled here and there. Plus who listens to Radio now? It is the age of Podcasts now. Reminds of the Judge' of The Good Place, saying 'I discovered a new thing, Podcasts'. I definitely would love to start my own podcasts, I already have some ideas, I get excited just thinking about it. Once I finish writing my thesis, I am going to start working on it. It is one of the things I wanted to do this year, at least I have to give it a try, considering the freedom and resources I have today. I don't want to look back ten years later and say 'if only I even tried a little'.

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.
