Why do we write!!!

It has been long time since I penned down something. Writing my expressions and emotions has always been a strong notion to me.
Why do we write? Many theories will originate if we think about the mental state of a person while s/he is writing. A sense of hatred, jealousy, passion, fear, love etc are jotted down as lines, which are mystic. Why do I write, writing is my passion. My emotions are well written than spoken, though I agree that emotions are well spoken than written. Anyhow, there may be hundred odd reasons for writing.
At times it becomes really necessary to get away from the constant low-quality input and output systems of day-to-day life, such as meaningless small-talk and weather conversations, text messaging, Twitter, checking the mailbox, and most email and many websites. We receive and create barrages of useless distractions that don’t help us or the people we know; sitting down to write lets us get away from it all.
A quality discussion with one of my friend yesterday night was amazing and so realistic. I just informed him that I want to start writing again and what should I start with. I could really not believe how easily he passed a thought to me. Getting on to night’s discussion, we came across many ideas. First of all we were actually fighting for the name of the blog. He suggested me many “great names” but we couldn’t really conclude on one. Finally I got the name at the middle of the night and here it is COLORS-OF-EXISTENCE. It contains the world. It means the powers inside us. Power of love, life, animosity, zeal, jealousy, birth, death. All of it exists in us, the mere fact remains is how much weightage is given to each color.
The idea of what to write dawned upon me over the telephonic conversation. He just came up with an idea…..”Hey Ashi! Why don’t you write about my love story daily! People will learn something from it.” He was actually right, though not right in terms of writing about his love story but that we should write something from which we are able to decipher the minutest feeling of mind and heart.
It was a very fruitful discussion for me though it ended in 10 mins but I gathered a lot form him. Its amazing…the powerhouse that sits in our nervous system is amazing. It really knows what to take and what to filter. The only problem lies with judgement. At times we judge bad as good and vice-vera and hence the pain. If we actually realize the power of mind and heart taken together, I guess miseries will end to an extent.
I would really like to end this thought with lovely lines from my friend they are so amazing and yet so simple and I actually slept while thinking about those lines. So what he said and I quote ” If I follow the trails that other people left how will I make my own trail and leave my marks on the path” The lines have a deep meaning if we think.
A few lines that I had written long time back:
one smile on your face
wipes away the frown on my face
heart beating once alone
now finds home in the arms of a special someone
as i wind along the roads
travelling like a man on a mission
leaving behind the empty and sad faces
that line up after a hard day’s work
passion beating deep down inside
and i pictured you waiting patiently
for us to walk down the sands of time
together, with love lighting our path;
as my thoughts gather momentum,
the urge to break down the barrier
that i built around myself
grows stronger and stronger!
with my resolve slowly breaking down,
under the spell that my heart has found itself in
a confused mind smiles in the twilight
dreaming of a life in the darkness!
CIAO!!!
