The Start

‘Keep writing’ and ‘keep smiling’ are the two things I keep hearing from my friends and well-wishers. I know ‘well-wishers’ is an old fashioned word, but there are still hell lot of such good people left in this world. I often (not so often) hear from them that I write well and have a good smile. I have my doubts. I write sometimes and smile a lot, but not sure if they are as good as I am told they are.

‘Smiling’ is lot easier compared to writing. Reactions too is lot more and spontaneous to a ‘smile’ than to a ‘write up’. I smile when I am writing but can’t write every time I smile. I can smile lazily but can’t write lazily. Writing needs ‘effort’. So I am making an effort to ‘write’ at least on alternate days for the next 30 days. That means at least 15 small write-ups in the next one month.

I am confused as to how big or small an ideal write up should be. Few of my friends tell me that they read up to the point where they see an instruction called ‘continue reading’. They stop there. Request you all to ‘continue’ little further.

There is a saying that ‘It will take time, effort, blood, sweat & tears, but I will get there’. Let me not get that serious. Time & effort yes I will put in, with the weather relatively cool I may not sweat. Let there be no ‘tears of blood’ from those who read.

These series of write ups may be in English, Kannada or be a picture (because a picture speaks thousand words ;-) ) This is not a new thing, many bloggers have done it earlier. Let me try. Those who have always told me to ‘keep writing’ have this obligation of responding once in a while during the next 30 days. ‘Keep smiling’ depends on the responses I get. Happy reading. 

I will call this series ‘Write-Turn’.
