Writing

Is being emotional important for any one to be able to write well? Emotions help you place your opinions so convincingly. Does it make one strong, or does it make one weak? Do thoughts die if they are not expressed? How many thoughts do we lose every day?

When one is highly emotional, the very act of writing becomes a dialogue, which in reality, is a monologue. Every piece of writing is probably a conversation with oneself. Asking questions again and again to oneself - "is this what i want to say?". But still, they say, that a writer writes for an assumed audience. An audience which shall probably never be available to the writer. Since this  conversation with his / her audience is always so mute. And it manifests into new forms. 

And all i ask again is:
"Is this what I want to say?"

I liked this article Anuj. And especially the questions- the first paragraph. These are the same questions which keep on hitting my head at times. And unfortunately, I am still not able to answer them.

who are you aoaua? what is your name? are you the same always?

aoaua said...

Aoaua is a daily reader of your blog,
But yet not on follower list,
Aoaua doesn’t believe in all this.

Aoaua likes many articles of yours,
But comments on very few.
Aoaua is very much selective.

Aoaua is the same always,
And the story started in a very odd way.

Aoaua opens your blog from gmail,
It has not yet saved your site in its personal mail.

While commenting on architecture of architectural institutes,
The aoaua identity was mistakenly sent.

Aoaua liked the mistake which it had commited.
And henceforth, it was purposely repeated.

Today morning, aoaua read your question.
And the foolish aoaua started writing an answer.

But in no time aoaua questioned itself,
Whats important- who is commenting or what is the comment.

Aoaua now decides to hide its image.
Aoaua doesn’t want the comment to be affected on this page,
By exposing its image.

Aoaua liked the direct asking of yours.
Aoaua liked the straight forward attitude.
Aoaua doesn’t have this,
What it likes is to always live in solitude.

Aoaua will always be a daily reader of your blog
But next time it will comment with a new identity and new name,
On your blog.

you know aoaua,
this is the first person whose name has only vowels in it and no consonant! So I cant even spell (out) your name!

But let's use this platform for critical debate! I think it will be healthy!

when you expose the emotions, it might be read as drunk writing...

both will make sense, if you don't say I was emotional or drunk, if you handle it well...
