Who I Am as a Writer with a Cause

A very interesting assignment I have received after quite a few years.  This seems to me like an SoP that I used to write for several programs enrollment.

Every writer has a cause.  There is always a reason to write.  No piece of writing is created without a cause or a reason.

For me, the causes to write have changed as I have changed and evolved with the learning from various experiences through time.

During my university years, I wanted to improve my English language, which is a second language for me so I have to make continuous efforts to keep it up to the mark, therefore I started writing a blog.  From that experience - writing and maintaining a blog, I realized that I had interest in writing and I could express myself well in writing.

I got a job in sales and marketing department, where I had to write lot of emails, marketing collateral, tutorials, web content etc.  I can say at that time I was writing for making people understand what they can do with the product they have bought or are going to buy.

I did not get time to write for self-expression during those times.  Now, after marriage, I tried writing the way I used to love doing and I could not.  I realized I had changed inside, but writing made me feel good and it was one of the medium to make me light from inside.  Lot of time had went by without this written self-expression and feelings analysis.

I started some exercises to get myself back on-track.  I usually write as it comes.  It is structured most of the times and I have to make very minor edits.  This happened when I wrote an article a few months back.  This was when I felt I was back!

During my renewal period, I used a technique, something I knew years back but did not use it too much.  I revised the fundamentals while I experienced this miraculous shift.  This is my cause at this time, at this stage in my life.  I want to have everybody experience the shift and become free from the unknown bondage.

Now the technique is quite simple but I found there was something to be done to make it such that it is easy for people to access it, like on a single click.  I found the online presence of it not very accessible and understand.  Since I had worked in sales and marketing department, I thought why not bring that experience to use for this cause.

And I started working on it.  The initial phase was very interesting.  This was a research phase to see what is available online and what is missing that I can add.  I was very much confused but there was something inside me that pushed me to work towards it for hours together.

I found a name after cancelling quite a few.  I also found a way to build a website with the theme that matches the name.  The process then went on.  I used to keep a pen and paper to write ideas when they popped up.  I got the tagline.

Again, I worked on and on for hours without knowing why I was doing it.  Something inside was pushing me.  The website took its wonderful shape with small and big features I wanted to add.  I had to google for days together to find/replace a widget on the site.

I am glad I worked on it and I have a very satisfactory site now.  People all over the world can access it and can get stress free, get rid of any disease (physical or mental) all at a few clicks.  All I have to do now is let people know that such a place exists online.  This is the reason I want to write. 

This is my cause.  I want people to know that they can have better lives easier and quicker than they think.  It is like you are at work in front of a computer and with few clicks you get rid of that nagging stressful thought in your mind!

If one wants to get rid of work stress before going home and does not have time for exercise or relaxation, just few clicks and there it is… one is stress-free.

If there is an ailment that one wants to get rid of, just few clicks everyday for few days depending on the ailment and there it is, one is free from it.

If there is any anger, addiction of obsession one needs to get rid of, just few clicks everyday for few days and one is free from it.

I want more and more people to know about this so they have a choice to get better lives and make smarter choices to enjoy what they already have.  Children are waiting at home for dad to come so they can enjoy movie together, but is dad energized to enjoy the movie with the kids?  He can be, with a few clicks before he leaves work.

Happiness Deep Down

There are some things that you do and it gives you happiness so deep down that you cannot describe it.  It is a wonderful feeling.  Somehow it is so much peace, serenity really really really inside of you.

I cannot say where because it is really deep. 

It is a blessing to have found out activities that give you this blissful feeling.

Yes, I have found it. 

I will not write more on it, but just share a smile/laugh with the following related story.

A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" "Oh, that?" she said.  "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."

Feeling great to be nearing to the good old self again

Feeling amazingly refreshed after this workout.  This workout has proven to be a life saver for me more than once.  Thank you Diane Youdale.

It is really a great feeling to be back to the old self.  I also opened my Orkut account after so many days.  Somebody has rightly said,  "Never let the child inside you grow up"  I have realized this more after almost a year and a half of marriage.

Truly, it takes work to stay in marriage.  Sometimes people change so much that they loose themselves and then it is very hard to find what they like and what they do not.  Some of our mothers have been through this.

Our generation is fortunate that we have this so called Internet that connects us to old friends, help keep in touch with hobbies and lots more.  I feel it is a great medium to keep myself grounded at the same time it is tied with the danger to have oneself lost in something that is not good.  But it is like science, good as well as bad.  We need to make sure what we want out of it and have good control (self control).

New routine new activities

I have been struggling since last few months to put together things that I love in this new life.  Now, I have quite a few things with me, but do not know where to put those in the daily routine.  Common Problem!!!

Today is the day when I am going to list them down and put them in proper place during the day.  Inshallah, I am going to be much better at this than before. :)

What matters?

I have been inclined to think since morning today that what actually matters?  I had some communication with my parents in the morning today and I was a bit shocked listening to a few sentences.  It really matters for me what my parents think about me and it really hurts when I come to know that their thinking is not the right one.

I know this is a wrong perception.  All it should matter is what I think about myself.  I know being selfish and self-centered are two different things.  But right now, I am really hurt.

Looking at the lack of confidence of my parents in me and their doubtful thinking about my future has really hurt me.

God.. I need the best out of this situation.  Please.. please.. please.. there has to be some way out!

Another beginning

Here is another day coming up. I have to be in the office at 9:30am sharp. Rules rules rules...

I can see quite an interesting day ahead. I have nice songs playing in the radio right now, have got a bus that is on time (the ticket conductor has not yet returned change!), have a social meeting in the evening and so coming back home.

Another beginning that I have is moving from blogdrive to blogger. Guess why I decided to move, only because there is no android application available for blogdrive.. One needs to be with social networking latest trends in order to survive.

Dont have much to write though, just enjoying typing with my phone. Hope to have a fun day ahead.
