In Search of a story

I always wanted to write an novel and was thinking a interesting plot. As I brainstromed different plots with myself, I realised it was not a easy task. The story closely resembled me and the things which has deeply influenced me. I always wondered on how to break my comfort level and create a whole new world. The books I read and the movies I saw revolved around the almost similar storyline with a different author touch to it. The language, flow was different. Ultimately the plot were the same.

How do u create a book? the question kept nagging me. I would need a main character who walks through the plot. The plot can be personal or one which creates a social impact. I would need supporting characters and the story flows. This might not be easy as it sounds. Every word the character speaks, every action he does has to be analysed and pre and post action has to be defined. It is like writing a code in literary sense.The thought gave me chills. I searched for some application which will help me channelize my thoughts. I found many but nothing solved my concern

However, I completed first two steps of my novel. Before I could sigh came the biggest block. I get stuck at every turn. Is this due to lack of concentration or does my inspiration needs to be constantly fueled. I felt difficult to move from chapter to book. Thousand questions arose and the plot danced on its axis. Will I finish the book without losing the essence of the story is a constant nightmare question. Still taking a deep breath, my quest continues in search of a story.

I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt me. They migh
