Every day life..

Since the new year, there is a rush in my brain, a need to put my thoughts on to the paper. My life has taken a new turn recently.I underwent a shoulder surgery and have a slight handicap, with my left hand in the sling ( will remain so for the next three months). But that doesn't deter my resolve to put things on paper.

I have always wanted to write. But then, the worry was, how to put the thoughts into words. It is easy to narrate some random thoughts as it is,but stories are another thing altogether.
But since the operation less than a month back, my brain was at a free end. On new year day I suddenly decided to write.

Armed with the strong will, I logged into the blogger and put my hand on the keyboard. Believe me I didn't know what I was going to write. There wasn't even a thread of a story in my mind. But i didn't chicken out. I started just typing, typing and typing. Before long I had a story or a so called story on the page. Relieved I published it without reading, lest I deleted it.

When I read the story afterwards, I wondered whether it was I who wrote it. Any way, I gained some courage that day.
Immediatly called up Simi, ( my daughter) and asked her to read the story. She said it was good. So I left it as it is.
My friend Murli also praised the effort, however had a word of caution about being feminine in the writing. Kala my friend from Australia also praised me, and encouraged me to write more. Same evening Nimi ( My elder daughter)called me from US. I asked her to read the story. She was all praise for my attempt. Although she was critical about the punctuations and the rhyming names of characters.

Brimming with the confidence thus gained,I have been writing stories in my blog. My facebook friends are also very encouraging. I hope to write more, straight from the heart...
