A beginning that was so longed for

And it started like this...I kept on thinking and thinking for 4 years in a row including today evening. They (friends, colleagues, and most important, the soulmates) kept on saying--come on, start it--you can do it. Everyone does that at night (when they get the time). "It's so needed for you," their belief. OK...It's decided. They have to be written now...Yes, i'm talking about those random thoughts that are swimming from here to there since I don't know when, and desperately want to reach at the harbour. Now, enough of introduction. As the title suggests, I don't want to follow that structured format, and the style sheet this time when I want just to say what I want to (but Commas, i'll put in place, which is a tribute to those editors who have taught me the hard way).

Again...cut it short. Like every other day, there was this call from a friend (will describe him later), and we went on talking about the sea, the sky, the sun, the rain and of course, office, presentations, COMMAS (from my side of the office), and slogging if it is worth it, and the list doesn't end here.

Again, cut it short...I can't, as I'm still searching for the first idea to write on!!!but this time, there's no deadline, no page has to be released. Yes, we write under pressure like they play cricket.

Coming back to the conversation that spanned through movies, music, and food--somewhere we had reached the point where we had started talking about when am I finally going to start jotting down those dots, and joining them to make that visible straight line, which will only happen once I just key in the words. I can't say how excited I was suddenly when I just thought about the thought of me going 'unedited'. Yes, none is going to touch the words now.

He just did not remind, persuade, or what not, to start it today (he said by mistake and corrected it to tonight the very next moment). He also said he would want to read the first one as soon as it is ready!

"Inside a sea of thoughts... but there is no drop available to put a full stop to it and that's life," something he said, and the gist of that can be summed up like this. These were the words that made the inroads to the beginning.

Hey there you all...please start what you want to do, it feels awesome. And for Arunav (who resembles me in a lot of things, and we are not twins), I wish you will also start putting your thoughts now. I started reading with your short stories, if you remember (that startling one on the BSNL tele-operator and the kid), couple of years back. If my first blog will get that urge in you to start writing, I'll be the happiest!!!

To the friend, who is also a Leo, it's just not a 'thank you' from my side, but my gratitude for a lifetime. To your question, "There is no need to put a full stop. You can assemble those drops and make another sea (of thoughts)."
