I write
because I want to?
Is it that only
or a feeling of compulsive commitment
to an existence perhaps…
…maybe to keep the wheels of the mind churning
forever? A possibility?!
A gamut of feelings
that need to be expressed …?
to someone or for anyone
or is it for me then?
Do I die,
when the writer in me
no longer exists?
Or when the situation
ceases to inspire….?
Is it the anathema of
being lonely versus being alone?
listening to silence is bad enough
so I’d rather hear my own voice!?
I guess…
and that’s why I write?
Maybe because I need to….?

Journalists at Don Ajit's house taking his interview.. they enquired him abt his "success ka raaz" ..

He calls robert.. " Robert bring me a Baaz (a bird : just incase u guys dont know!! )" .. robert immediately brings the baaz..

Ajit asks Mona to give the baaz a bath .. Mona carries out his order.. he asks mona to put the baaz on his hand.. he pours water on the baaz, takes out his gun and shoots the baaz.. and says" yeh hai meri success ka raaz"...

All the journalists are lost.. how come this is your success ka raaz? they ask...
















In comes the reply" Main Dhoke-Baaz ko maar deta hoon ..

Mass

An outlet for the unexpressed or publicly inexpressible. A feeling of complete freedom.

Regarding the "I", maybe you need to find who is this "I"?

Wanderer said...

* Hazel: Aha! Ok!

* White: hmm... you're right! Time to find out who 'I' really am!;)

Glad you could share your meanderings as a writer. ^_^ I find that I can, in a way, relate to the inquiries you've posed here. Thank you, dear.

Cheers.
