On Writing.....!!

Hi Gowri

As I had mentioned earlier, I had scribbled down few incidents (they could be trivial but really very wonderful from "musings" point of view...you know things better) in my diary during the tour....

I have been into this habit of writing diary on most of the days since my Isha days....1997....I would say that it was internalised more as a part of my ventillation or expression than becoming a dialy habit...There were occassions that I wrote dozen pages on a particular day also when I was so depressed or so happy....You should also appreciate that my friend circle had never been so big .... and writing had been my sure bet all along...

Now coming back to the numerous incidents that compulsively kept me in writing mode for every 3 - 4 hours....just because I was too sincere to jot them down to be written in our column here.....I feel that our awareness levels shoots up magnificiently with this habit.....!! I became very sharp and was very alert in my communication (which was at basic minimum level as I was so eager to listen and observe the world more than to keep vomitting myself)...and was travelling between the little incidents and my abstract world (karpanaiyoor) too often than how it normally happens....just because I wanted to WRITE them......!!

Hope you get the point....I became much more effective as an observer when I wanted to write in this column...and it was bit too much than trying to write at the end of the day......in the diary....

Incidentally, there are lot of days that I write diary just lamenting / bruding about myself.....during those spells when I forced myself on writing some thing daily.....!! Now when I decided to WRITE some where, believe me the person "I" was totally absent in typical JK style...and I was able to draw out my columns (that will be posted one by one in due course) from the ripples created in the mind purely induced by the outside world....

Its a huge difference, isn't it....?? It will be really nice if I revamp my diary writing habit on observation mode....than feelings mode.....that it used to be....
