When I first started blogging, honestly I was not very sure how I will manage to fill page after page with content. It is indeed difficult to keep up with blogging.
Thoughts don't just keep coming to your mind in a sequence nor do good thoughts (which are worth capturing on the blog) happen when I am around a computer!!!
And so I started blogging slowly and a bit nervously. My own estimate was that may be within a couple of months I will run out of content and my blog will fade away...................like we all love starting so many new initiatives and activities but hardly carry them through till the end.
However I was determined. For a long time I had cherished this dream of writing a book. Would keep telling my husband that one that I will publish my own book! So when he introduced me to blogging it felt like a first step towards my dream of writing a book.
My initial posts are quite amateurish! But natural. No one is a born writer. For that matter no on is born anything. We all dream, aspire, learn and succeed at various things.....
The initial response was sort of okkk....nothing earth shattering. but it gave me immense satisfaction. A feeling of having created something....even if what I did was far from perfect or world class.....there was one sense of deep happiness.....I was original.....what I was writing was my own................my blog, its layout and its content everything was original.....
Gradually as comments started flowing in, I was more and more determined to keep writing. My blog which has started as a hobby is now a passion. The content flows out naturally....
And so came in this realization.....it is very easy to be original! All it requires is honesty, determination and passion. All great musicians were original. Beethoven, Mozart, our own Indian music maestro late Naushad. All great painters were original......be it Picasso, Van Gogh or our own M.F. Hussain. All great film maters were/are original....our own example is Shri Satyajit Ray.
It is so easy to be original....it is also effortless to be original.
