"Express Yourself"

Hi Gowri

I still remember the blissful moments when I stared at a wonderful ad of AIRTEL in one of their showroom when I went to pay the bill....This happened approx 4 years back but I still remember how involved I was staring at the Black words written against the White background in the wall .... listing out various letters in English in alphabetic order depicting various expressions.....("argue", "reconcile", "plead"..... & so on) and on the top of that, the caption of AIRTEL "Express Yourself"...

I was impulsively asking for a pamplet showing this in miniature but the girl in the show room told she did not have any ..... It took me many occassions and moments later on to discover that I got so involved with that wall poster because of my basic craving towards it....I have been passionately improvising ng on this skill...observing people who talk nicely with lot of admiration & trying to analyse the structure of presentations and public speaking more than the content part, the spillage of humour sense, doing experiments on my own on few opportunities......!!

I have been writing diary for quite a long time - if not daily, quite regularly - used the written form of expressions more than the verbal ones as I found I tend to become silly and getting casual when I spoke....In fact the participation in the contests of Vanagiri have really put me in the next gear and I am immensily enjoying my poems more than getting them written for the sake of audience....I also observed that I got out of my depression spell just by MUSING
in this e-diary couple of times...

Yesterday, I was on a long walk at Marina Beach all alone (from Santhome to Anna Square - to and fro) and was thinking if I can use my craving for expression as a self development tool....I got some simple idea of synergising my YOGA inclinations with this ebook and would be shortly starting two new series that may never end......!!

One will be titled "Moments of Bliss" and another one as "Transcendance" ......Both may start with some introduction, may have some musings towards the end, may describe me in action or the experience of others which I observed hands on..., may be daily posting or once a fortnight - As such I dont have any plan on HOW they should be....My only wish is to record my present in a systematic manner in our blog....to vent out and move forward in life....

I feel two seperate series are required as in the former one I wish to capture some thing that happened which is not necessarily happening based on my own volition.....while the latter one will be some conscious attempt / effort on my side.....like the yesterday's - nearly 1 & half hour - walk which really was a very satisfactory experience.....!!

Let me post my experiences in the past two three days in next session...
