Writing again

I have not written on this blog since 2006. Why? I don't know, but what propelled me (so-called motive) to write earlier has, it seems, vanished. I am definitely a changed person since then. Yes, this is true that I have been feeling uncomfortable about not writing, and so I have decided to make a beginning again. This time, I am writing just to feel better and get rid of this nagging feeling of not doing something that someone inside me is calling me to do.

Today, I read something about "acceptance" in the great book that I have been reading: Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I feel like writing a long explanation of this concept, but let me do it some other day. I am not yet prepared to talk about this heavy topic.

Another book that I have been reading is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I must admit that every time I read it, I do get this feel that I can never write long, complex sentences like Dickens. Some of his sentences are like long paragraphs, stuffed with loads of commas and semi colons. Speaking of commas, I read this expression somewhere: Mighty comma. Yes, despite trying to conquer comma by reading various grammar books and trying online exercises, I still feel comma is indeed a mighty entity in the English language, and I am small in front of it.

Having written about two books, I now recollect this thought crossing my mind every time I am reading a book: Am I addicted to reading? Will I start writing only when I unlock some of my time and attention from reading? Who knows? Probably time knows!
