The Write Journey from White to Right

“Write’ seems so simple. Quite unique but when we actually pronounce it, we hear it as right. Isn’t it?
So we all have the ‘Right to Write’. It is only a select few who actually have the ability and the knack to express ideas and thoughts in paper. Let’s take for instance, how we begin to write?

Remember the first time a chalk and a slate was handed onto us as a toddler and we were told to write the first words. There was no pressure upon us. We could write endlessly, wipe off the slate and write again. A box of colorful chalks did wonders, a couple of them would unknowingly enter your mouth. Upon being noticed, would be instructed not to treat it that way, rather to use it for its sole purpose. Nevertheless our fickle mind somehow enjoys tasting the chalk once a while, being unnoticed.

The initial masterpiece replicates crow’s-droppings. The scribbling gradually expands its reach to fill the walls, the floor, dining table, newly painted doors and places that are meant to be kept clean and tidy.

Then time nears to get started with proper schooling. By then we are a little older and we know the basics of alphabets and to-be-known words. Life changes hereon. We get into a new atmosphere of rules and regulations. They call it cursive writing. Huh! Initially, an impossible task to write in flowing strokes between the lines. More because we are used to the freedom of writing or rather scribbling anywhere and anyhow and now that we are glued to norms. Well, gradually we learnt the art of writing correctly and clearly. But, wait a minute, do we become writers’ at this stage. Definitely not.

The human mind is termed complex and interesting. Most children are given the same inputs when it comes knows what it is to write. But as time passes by and age grows, so does the ability of children to understand the depth of writing for a purpose. Some imbibe the creative style of writing for a reason. Others confine to what is expected to be written. Expression of thoughts and ideas verbally is quite different from when it comes to writing our thoughts on paper.

Well, there is no right way to write. But we all have the right to write in our best possible way to express ourselves beyond what is delivered during our early tuition as a toddler. The secret lies in encouraging what our heart guides us through. So even if we do not excel in cursive writing, relax! All that matters is how well we explore the creative world by writing our thoughts to make others realize the essence of truth. The truth maybe anything that is under and beyond the Sun.

We all have a writer within us! We all! We all can express our thoughts our style, without bothering about rules. A simple word can do wonders! Right?

It is a ‘busy’ world where people wish to have a little more than 24 hours to complete their daily schedules.  A lot of people are looking at ways to relax through Yoga, meditation, Indoor games or music. These are definitely most recommended classes by all. These are areas where training is required and once you enjoy the feeling of peace and good health, the element of joy cascades out.

The question arises whether joy can be felt only with classes. Well, this is not possible for everyone. Yes, indeed. At least a quick connect with thy self each day in silence is what the basic meditation calls for. This with practice becomes a habit.  Everyone experiences at least one shade of Joy in 24 hours. I bet on it. It is only that we miss to realize it because of our hectic and technology centric lifestyle. The actual shades of Joy can be experienced each day through the small things that we see, hear and speak. The power of observation and a habit of finding hundreds of Gratitude Reasons will definitely do wonders and help us experience ripples of joy in our lives. 

The purpose of life is to seek happiness. The happiness factor can have a million interpretations. I wish to enlist the Amazing Shades of Joy out of my experience.
