Reclaiming the writer that was...

A rare honour, to be with the great Dr APJ Kalam

There was a time when writing was fun. It was an expression of thoughts, a culmination of events or an announcement. But over the years it has become a contest of sorts - a contest of views, likes, dislikes, meaning, 'gyan', and at times plain 'attention seeking'. I deliberately stayed away from adding more commas amidst more categories.

I want my writing to be from the heart, not from AI tools. It has to be about my thoughts translated into a readable and searchable format. I don't want to know how many people read it. Why? Cause then I am writing for the reader, not for myself. In the world of information overload and SEO creation, there is very little truly owned by the writer. And I want to reclaim that space for myself and the few that chance upon my writing.

I am a firm believer in Karma and in manifestation, no I don't believe in Santa Claus but I like the idea that was cemented by Coca Cola for selling more Coke at Christmas. I continue to like the concept of giving and the concept of 'oversized' or 'fat' representing happiness and generosity.

So if Karma is to be believed and manifestation is to work, the reader seeking a writer with a soul will materialise. There will be images in some posts. But only those that I have created using my camera or a paintbrush (even a digital one). No arbitrary images that are clear fakes.

What will I write about? I really don't know. I don't have a template, but I believe I will be inspired. I want to create a category on this website and call it the Blog of Nothing. Maybe I will, if I write a piece that is nothing but my thoughts meandering. If not, I will try to classify my writing into the sections I have created.

Since this is about reclaiming the writer in me, this post should be in The Writer.

Until I write again... stay happy, stay blessed, stay healthy
