My journey of life as a Writer…!!


A famous quote goes, “A writer has no vacation. For a writer life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.” This genuinely implies the level of dedication a writer has for his writings. One can say, writing is not just about profession, it is more about passion; passion to break the silence, passion to lubricate the voice of heart and passion to bring stories into the world. It is that very exclusive art where a writer can make out reality in his fantasies and turn reality look as eloquent as fantasy.

My life as a writer is equally filled with passion and profession. People say writers do survive in virtual world and filled with fantasies. Yes! To some extent it is so very true. But something which a layman would never realize or feel, “writers also have a melodramatic power to turn fantasies into realties.” Being a common human, I have experienced many treasured realities in my life. Some of them have showered my path with flowery love & exquisite smiles and some have broken me down with sticks and stones many a times. But being a writer, I have always managed treating each of my realities equally, impartially and made them turn look as marvelous as any fantasy. I can say with pride, “I have never waited to write my heart.” It actually gives me immense pleasure, a kind of relaxation when I am done with a new blog post. Something I must do after this current blog post is count my heart rates, just to measure the level of my excitement, just to note the rate at which my heart beats after I have shared few of my random thoughts and emotion in my blog :D As a genuine fact I wait for the Sundays to come not to take a break from my writing profession, but to switch my professional writing to passionate writing. Oh! I forgot to mention, I am a content writer by profession and usually write for my clients on their provided topics. Professional writing is all about revenue generation. How can I stay behind saying “My writing actually pays me!!?” And when people hear me saying about my career as an online writer, they come up with,” Hey you are lucky enough to work at home and earn money without much hard work.” Yes! This is one definite thing I listen from people, especially those who work in office and who are not into the professional writing world. Well buddies I must say one thing, “Distant objects are less visible to eyes.” One cannot judge with mere words or with superficial looks on anyone. Same is the case in the online writing profession. Sometimes it is better to keep mouth shut if you are not known to the things going beyond your vision. It hurts like hell when I hear “Aish hai yaar tumhare…Ghar baithe baithe paise mil jaate hain...” Let me translate this for my English mates. It is like hanging me halfway when people come up with something like, “hey! You have enough of luxury in your life as a writer. You just get money sitting at home without any struggle.” There are times when on the mid of my writing assignments I keep 10 mins break to relax my eyes with ice packs, they just burn like the burning fire. Sitting in front of laptop continuously for more than 14 hours a day is absolutely not a task of 1,2,3. Many times I am that overloaded with my writing works that I have to sustain complete sleepless 7 days on a row. Being a bold heart; I won’t show off the hard work, the dedication, the stress in mind, the pain in eyes, the hurts in my fingers to the world. But being a blogger of my RANDOM THOUGHTS blog, I will surely speak my pain. hmm!! smart girl I am to make things happen in a smart way:D [In case you understood this saying, please keep your understanding to self and do not disclose D} But yes, “I genuinely cry out with that adverse pain when my hands turn frozen, when they get that stiff enough to be moved” continuous writing and typing has made me a victim of struggling hands. I do take injections, medicines and tonics to keep my hands on working state so that I would not fail earning my hard money. “Money is after all the sole reason why I am into professional writing.” People enjoy time outside with colleagues and I have no colleague with me. They meet the outside world, get the blessings from the Sun God out of their home, feel the sun down and watch the stars and bathe with moonlight. I have no outside world. All I have is my laptop and my closed room.

But yes! I have no complaints about my profession. I make my own sun, moon and stars in my writings, in my thoughts and my expression. I enjoy writing and so I am into it. It is one very genuine thing that we do the things which keep us happy at some corner of our heart. Writing is my profession, my passion and somehow a healthy part of my obvious world.

Now changing the topic to my passionate writings; I will first come up with, “The embarrassing day, but funny to say.” Well this was my first write-up, a poetry in deed; done in my class 9th. We were assigned summer holiday homework with some more option; but I chose writing poetry. I will not wait for a single moment saying, “I was remarked as VERY GOOD!! :D” Mrs. Mrinalini Mishra was my English teacher then in School. She gave me one of the finest advices to continue writing with the same flow. And madam; following those words, “I reached that phage of my life now when I am genuinely known as a writer.” 14 years passed since then. And in this time period I have done more than 200 poetries and self published two books on the same. “The Cuckoo Sings Young” was my first poem book done during my class 11th, and the second was, “Beyond the Bond.”, done recently last year. In my entire writing epoch, my mother was always with me. I remember, every time I did one poem, it is she who listen me first. Credit also goes to my daddy who encouraged me by publishing my poems, funding the books even in times of financial crisis at home. That is why we say, “Parents are our worldly Gods!!

Ok, I am a mind with fluctuating moods and thoughts. So, once again, coming to my professional career as a writer; I started working for a Kolkata based company as an online content writer. Since then I started understanding the level of writing you actually need to hold on self in the global market of content writing. Those perfect keyword density, the word count check, those exclusive guidelines from clients and the writing format..Oops! I must not say this, but yes! ; “Each of my employer is my soul taker (Yamraj)” :D My apology, “holding my ears with sorry in lips”. Being a writer I can turn though times in to fun and enjoyment! So apart from fun here, I would surely say, “I totally owe all my employers who have being continuously assigning me works, supporting me learning new writing skills and raising my belief on leading my entire life with this wondrous profession, where one actually enjoys the work.”

Well guys! I have done this blog now in exact 100 minutes. And I know I won’t be paid for this from anyone. But again there is always a sense of relaxation, a feel of satisfaction when you do something good to your locked heart! This blog gave me immense pleasure all throughout the 100 minutes of my writing with total word count around 1300, without any SEO tricks or any fixed keyword :D I have not proof read even. That very careless stuff an over-loaded person does when he is sure; his work is not going to meet a rejection from his remunerator. And in the due course of time, my heart has kissed me tight for expressing it to the World. I am ON with a lovely stroke of excitement in me now. Need a definite break now from personal blog and switch over to professional writings.

Catch you once again soon…!!
“It is good to read books. But it is even better to write them!”…Proud to be a writer

The POKE Game In Facebook...!!


The POKE Game In Facebook...!! Few days before I was busy in one of the Facebook group, when all of a sudden a very old friend poked me. then I thought to poke him back & did so even. Then soon, he poked me back & again I poked him. This game continued for 15 mins & then with a huge laughter, I stopped the Poke game. That was a real fun then; but actually I wanted to know what exactly "Poke" mean in facebook. I had a research on the same & so thought of writing in short about the same. Like me, many others play this Poke game; but the exact meaning remains unknown. It is just a feature to attract the attention of another user. Its just like saying a "Hello" to your friend. But some people consider it as a form of Flirting. Wonder, what all features Facebook is coming up with, for entertainment. For me, it is annoying. But, yeah i really feel absurd to poke someone untill & unless I genuinely want to. I mean; if you really want to say a Hello or Hi, then you can also post a message on his wall. But anyways, we are in such a world where everything done is very flexible. And in that case, "Poke" is really an easy task & also it adds fun to your facebook life. How To Poke A Friend: What all you need to do is first go to your friend's profile & look under the profile picture for a "Poke" feature. Once you click on this link, a new window pops up that asks for the confirmation. When you click the "Poke" button; your friend will recieve a Poke notification on his wall. Now, its upto him if he want to poke you back or ignore your poke. Remember, you can only poke a confirmed friend. So, now mind you; simply do not search for beautiful girls & handsome boys over facebook to have a Poke on them. SuperPoke! Application Of Facebook: If you find a simple poke annoying; then for sure you will find a SuperPoke! much more interesting. It is a much more interactive method you can use to send different kinds of Pokes that would keep you safe from misunderstanding. If you want to date a girl; then blow a kiss at her. Or if you watch at something absurd, then just Dropkick the person for saying stupid. This is really exciting if you have enough free time to spend over Facebook. All you need is to install the SuperPoke! application & then go to Friend's profile & just under the status box, you can click on the " more" drop down arrow. But remember; you will se the option there only if they have SuperPoke! installed on their profile. But, no worries even if they don't have it installed; you can still SuperPoke! them. Just go to the SuperPoke! application 7 on the right side; you find a box where you cab select who all friends to SuperPoke! from your list. Conclusion: An End To The Poke Game Now, Poke may help you enjoy your Facebook time; but it may be harmful for those who take it as a flirt game. For them; a free advice" If you are sending a kiss; be prepared to get a dropkick from the other side even! " Please do not Poke me. I have my own rules...!!

SCHIZOPHRENIA:- Once Upon A Time In Banglaore...!!

"Schizophrenia"!! Sounds something terrific. The one who suffer from the same, is as normal as you and me. His days are also glowing with sun rise and nights are lovely with the beam of moonlight. But they make no difference to him; he is lost somewhere at dark, out of nature, away from the whole world, he is arrested along with pain, fear and isolation.

The days were awesome in Bangalore during 2006 when I went for a training course and once met her at Manipal hospital. I went for a check up as I was suffering from acute gastritis. At the reception I saw a middle aged fair skin lady with her teenage girl, her daughter perhaps. I asked the girl her name and she never responded me. I guess she was afraid, her drowsy eyes were as if trying to ignore the whole crowd over there. She was holding her mom's hand and soon I asked for her name she went behind her mother and started crying. The lady with a frustrated face said me " She is Schizophrenic". I was unaware of the term then, but never dared to ask her further. After my check up, I came to my room and my first task was to search for the word.

I found Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, think logically, have normal emotional responses, behave normally in social situations etc. Its also they have irritable/tense feeling, difficulty sleeping, concentrating. As the illness continues symptoms changes; problems with thinking start, the person start behaving on unreal things, hearing and seeing things that are not there in real, thoughts "jump" between unrelated topics, social isolation etc. Schizophrenia's symptoms vary as per the types. "Paranoid Schizophrenia" gets anxiousness, angriness and the patient gets false believes that others are trying to harm him or his loved ones. "Disorganized Schizophrenia" symptoms include problems in thinking and expressing ideas, child like behavior, showing less emotion. "Catatonic Schizophrenia" include lack of activity, muscles and posture gets rigid, odd facial expression etc. I guess the girl had Catatonic schizophrenia as she gave some odd expressions every time I saw her.

I looked forward for treatment of the condition and it was mentioned " SCHIZOPHRENIA IS A LIFE LONG ILLNESS." The person has to survive on anti-psychotic medication for life. I really felt pity on the girl after reading this. She was so cute and innocent enough to look, got so much of her life to survive and suffered with such a disorder.The medicines even have side effects like sleepiness, dizziness, weight gain, increased chance of diabetes, slow movements, restlessness etc. What the hell will the person do who suffer from this. Poor little girl. I was shocked when I saw a column on complications of having Schizophrenia. "SUICIDE"! is what it was written there.

I could not sit in-front if laptop anymore, went to sleep. But that " Suicide" word never allowed me for the same. I could see the girl's lovely face and poor mom's frustrated face in my dream.

Some say mental disorders get cured by meditation, yoga, exercise etc. But wonder, if Schizophrenia be treated! It is said, the person suffering with the same lack concentration, thinking power etc. Then how will he go for meditation? May be once situation come to bit normal it can be done. Medical science is so much developed. Wish this can treat schizophrenia soon.

I left Bangalore, but today was missing the wonderful place, so remembered that lovely girl. Wish to visit her sometime and find her in a better, controlled manner.

TomBoy-Love-Complete Women:- A track to move on...!!

A normal girl child born in 1985 always dreamt to grow up soon and be with all the ladies fashion and look beautiful. Schooldays almost went on fine as a simple girl till class 8th; class 9th and 10th were most mischievous days in school, lots of scoldings, punishment, warnings, complaints and so on....In class 11th(+2, 1st year as we mention here at my state Odisha, when study in colleges under state govt) something strange went on in life that turned the mischiveous girl as a Tom boy. Gutkha,road-side tea stalls, those black bands at wrist, Shirts-Trousers/Jeans-t shirts, Black cap, a little short knife, lighter in pocket, passing comments to girls, whislte, fights on road, terrorising guys who tease other known girls....everything seems to be a crystal clear flash back infront of eyes when mind come up with a short thought on the same. Then enters a LOVE in life {"Prem"-As the name suggest love.} A man from fashion world, completely contracdictory to an out-of-fashion tomboy definitely had something good and attractive that made her somewhat think like a girl and fall in love with him. After about 9 months the girl proposed Prem and someway or the other he accepted after knowing everything about her way and life style. But its true even, life style,way of thinking everything differed between the both. Girl was tough enough with out-look, but had a simple way of living and fun. On contradictory to this, the boy was a party-guy, pub-disco loving, being from world of fashion, a state-level model, a highly matured personality, completely dashing guy to be tagged as. But its true he never wanted the girl to change her Boyish attitude, get-up and personality; may be because he never wanted to change his love and be in love with her, may be because he was quite aware about the inner heart being a simple one or may be because he wanted his lady love to stay aways from much of make-ups,fashion, style and all those ladies talks to crack down his mind evrytime. Apart from their love, the girl was with her usual manly attitude, acts, behaviour, talks everything. So something that kept the girl bonded with some kind of girlish heart, was LOVE. After being in a relation for more than 6 years both married and settled down at Delhi. The place was familiar to Prem, but was so new and different for the girl. Lost her friends, local area dominancy, family care..What left with her was her teenage "Love" cum present husband. Someone who thought to stay like a boy everytime,had to change herself in a greater way when around in-laws; but with husband it was fine enough to stay as the same tomboy as he never complaint on the way of get-up and out-look. You are set free for everything, but if you are a girl there come some limitation and boundary for you this way or the other definitely. Something great happend after 3 years of marraige and that is what the couple have added a new life, a little baby to their world. A small little girl, born on 6th july 2011 to them. These all days after marraige especialy made the girl think on a thought she use to get in her childhood, dream she use to think of being like a grown-up woman and all those every girl think off during her early days to have a husband, a child, serve the best to her family and all those general feelings. A point to make out here is " A girl can never be equal to a boy however fast the world grow...." Never know what and how the track will progress further, but for the time being its all may be said:- "Tomboy-Love-Complete woman".

ELECTRA:------Love to my husband and baby.
