Writing Zen

I turned 32 a couple of days back and I made half a resolution to begin writing again. Half because I wasn't sure if I would be able to take out the time and if we are to be honest I wasn't sure if I have the patience anymore to but here we go !

Writers are supposed to have exciting lives, its not possible to come up with interesting stuff to write  if you actually have not gone out into the world splashing your colors all over the place. I  picked up on writing as a creative outlet during my engineering days and its one of my clearest memories. I even told my grand mother who I was very close with and in a very proud voice she said 'you know it would make me so happy if you continue writing, it's one of the best things that you can do plus it runs in the family ! '. I always think that writing is one of the things which will make the world still livable for me when I get old. So for all essential purposes this is a selfish outlet in the guise of being selfless, Just like entrepreneurship and it requires the capital of time and experiences.

So what has changed in the last 5 years when I wrote last. I've worked on 6 different ideas 5 of which are now shelved due to various reasons that escape logic. The 6th idea is a clear winner still out there kicking ass. I have been on a gazillion dates but have still managed to be single ! (I have an actual list of my top 10 best and worst dates ever) I have maintained a similar physical dimension only with more muscle now. I have read more, traveled more, redefined my inner circle and have several crazy stories about crazy people to share but all in due course. First I need to clearly define a flow here to suck you inside my world.In the next few days i'll be writing about a whole range of things that have influenced me. Those might or might not be relevant to you but I promise entertainment !
