Random thoughts about writing plus a tribute to Deluded:


Writing itself, to me, can sometimes be quite an effort. There are times when the words flow effortlessly, but at times I'm left hunting for words or tearing my hair out over a sentence that doesn't sound right. Then why do I write? As there could be nothing that can make you think, feel, express yourself AND lose yourself in it all at the same time than good writing.

Someone told me recently - "Your writing's like a 5 year old's. It has no style, no texture, no technique." I was quite annoyed, who wouldn't be? But when I went back and looked at my posts with a different perspective. Yes, they're not very eloquent, meaningful, moving etc. But hey, it brings out what I'm feeling in the best way I know how. My writing's a little piece of me. I wish I could sound deep, intense, worldly. But I guess I can offer just about a little honesty.

Which brings me (finally!) to Deluded. Or did he want me to go 'De-dude-d' like Express did?! ANYWAY, his writing has a nice balance - it's brilliant in so many ways, yet so simple. He has that honesty too but in a fun way!

He has this knack for bringing out things that will have you pondering in the funniest way ever. It's so easy to relate to his writing! Everytime I read something he writes, I go - "Hey! ME TOO! Why didn't I think of that?"

But it's not that easy. We can't all be AS smart now, can we? Or even as good looking or as popular? (YES! He did pay me for writing that last bit. Or atleast he will. :P) But seriously, this blog is one of my favourites. Every post makes me smile and I hope that the blog and Deluded's writing goes a long way. :)
As does his dream of being a doctor 'who earns a lot'. AND the one about 'getting, drunk, getting high and getting laid' to quote the great man himself. :P

And since I've done too much tareef, a mention of 'girly things' should nullify that, no? So here goes - "love, amazing, sweet, clothes, phone and wedding" words that Deluded thinks girls included in EVERY testimonial. Well, so be it baby, SO BE IT. :)
