Writer’s block

Ok, I am not gonna start with the same old phrase ” Its long since I blogged”.  Yes, it has been  a looooong time. Its high time I accept that I have had a writer’s block. You guys must be wondering how come she has writers block when she doesn’t really write anything.  Let me put a hold to all your questions. Yeah, I write when I feel like. It might be after a long time or sometimes too frequency.

Highly artistic and talented writers say, they conceive their manuscript( I hope I am using a correct word here) when they are calm, and its quality depends upon the atmosphere. And they experience a mental block which do not allow them to write a single word.  I am not going to comment on these and neither do I have rights to do so.

I am gonna tell about how and what is it with me. After all this blog  rendezvous with me.  I write this blog when I feel like, sometime when I am emotionally messed up or when I have nothing to do or when I too happy or simply when I want to scribble something down.

My teacher once told me, when you want to tell something to God, you can write down that in a piece of paper and He will read it when we go to bed. And I still believe what my teacher told and I still write letters to Him. I feel relived when I am sad or angry. And my happiness amounts to double when I am happy. My scribbling down things must have started with these letters.  Well!! I know I am going off the topic, but I had to start from the root of this.

Now coming back to block, I just feel too lazy to put myself in front of the computer and make my finger tips touch the keyboard to word my thoughts. And sometimes I do not know how to put my thoughts in to words. My thought are sometimes too ambiguous and mystic.  The words are too less to explain those things. But I scribbling my letters is too easy for me then too.

But most the time its my sheer laziness which stops me from writing. Unlike others, I have never run out of topics(touch wood), may be because I have a happening life and I am no bad in observing(though I am bad in judging).  And I will have to sit for an extra hour in office to write a blog. This makes me more lazy.

To conclude my writer’s block is not mental block which prevents the flow of my thoughts but its just that I am lazy goose.

Richard Branson

Time to write about the new book I read Its an auto biography. An auto biography of Richard Branson, the life and soul of Virgin groups of companies.

Richard Branson

Its an awesome read. A life which is fascinating than fiction. Oh, I forgot to tell you the name of the book. It is called “Losing my virginity”.

I felt Richard Branson’s life is full of adventure. He has a great insight for life. A true altruist. A great humanitrain, a person with a vision.

The book describes everything and anything about him and virgin group. Oh yeah, its a autobiography and it has to say about his life.

Main thing about him is he dares. He dares to take risk in life, in his business. He grabs apportunities. If there is no opportunity he finds one. Highly dynamic and enthusistic person.

After reading his book, I was stuck with a question. How can a person take so much risks? Well!! ofcourse, that is why he is business tycoon. He believed firmly in his destiny and luck.

He is not just a buisiness tycoon, he is a great social activist. This altruist also works for HIV poistive people in Africa. His works also includes the Branson School of Entrepreneurship, set up in 2005 as a partnership between Virgin Unite, the non-profit foundation of Virgin, and entrepreneur Taddy Bletcher, the founder of CIDA City campus, a university in Johannesburg. The school aims to improve economic growth in South Africa by supporting start-ups and micro-enterprises with skills, mentors, services, networks and finance arrangements.

Not just that, he works for a number of projects in Africa. His other contributions includes a project with Nelson Mandela and Peter Gabrial, called Elders Group.

It is an idea of a small, dedicated group of leaders, working objectively and without any vested personal interest to solve difficult global conflicts.

I have just mentioned a very few activities Richard Branson is involved in. If I am to mention all his works for society, I will have write a book on it.

His buisness empoir is spread accross different parts of world. This great entrepreneur also owns different business ventures. It includes, record business, mobiles, airways, trains, space ventures, cola, animation, comics, media… what not.. You name a business, he will atleast have a small venture on it.

This entrepreneur started his career at the age 16 with a magazine “Student”. He and his friends made this college magzine a huge sucess. He later on moved into record business.

Now let us move on to his personal details. He is married to Joan Templeman with 2 kids, Holly and Sam. I should forget to mention his passion for traveling in a balloon. He traveled across the world in a hotair balloon.

His life is truely inspiring one. Let me quote his words here “My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them…from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it.”

wow, what a life

Dare to dream!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dairy of Anne Frank

I finished reading world’s most famous diary of all time “The dairy of Anne Frank”. I should have read it a long back may be atleast a couple of years back.

AnneFrank

Anne’s diary reminds us, how lucky we are to live in a world without war, to be free and to enjoy life. Her dairy tells us about the days she and her family went hiding.

Anne starts her dairy telling us how she gets the dairy. She calls her dairy as kitty. She see a friend, to whom she can confide, in kitty.
Anne and her family goes hiding because they were unfortunate Jews who Hitler believed have no rights to be happy or even to live. Their hiding place was annexe of Anne’s daddy office. They were joined by Van Dan and family. Anne later on develops a romantic relation with Peter, Van dan’s son.
She describes Van Dan’s wife as obnoxious and complaining.
They were later joined by a dentist Dussel. Anne dislikes him too.
They were helped by few office staffs, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Miep Gies, and Bep Voskuijl, and they were the only people who knew about Anne’s hiding place.
Anne describes her relation with other members of annexe including her troubled relation with her mother. She also gives vivid description of the daily routine there and about the food they ate during that time.

Anne was a outspoken girl with strong determination and desires. Her elder sister was soft spoken and attached their mother Edith. Anne was more attached to their father Otto.
Anne had a opinion on everything, this included, politics, love, relation. social life etc. And she was frank enough to speak it out, which created friction in relations.
She was a typical teenager with her own thoughts and craved for independence.
And most importantly, she choose her words really well to express her inner self.
Her life at annexe comes to end after 2 years when they were taken to concentration camp by German Police. Anne and her sister dies there. The lone survivor from the annexe is Anne’s father Otto Frank, who later on publish Anne’s dairy.

Anne’s dairy is not just a dairy but a sad monument of man’s barbarism and brutality.

May there be peace in this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
