Overexposed piece of writing, the vehement justifications seeking validation through vague commentaries of winding paragraphs. Devoid of literary tastes, aimless ramblings through hard imagery, objects placed in odd places, stories that run through parched areas. Looking for some soul, some life, where time could surrender deeper, but, there is no transparency in a craft less or lack of artfulness, some raw, insipid words with rough … Continue reading Missing in Writing
Some walk out when darkness calls, hoping to meet some other soul to share their stories Here, I play hide n seek with darkness, hoping it would not find me at all Never find out about my existence, but still encircle like an insane entity I have not acquired anything, so don’t trouble me with anymore unwanted dreams Sneak in, and plunder my peace and … Continue reading Hide n Seek with Darkness
Write when the creative juices flow, struck by a passionate creative angst to carve out our own stories, nurture them, praise them or put them on a pedestal, with ink, carving out their space, before presenting them to the world for some sincere scrutiny and sometimes harsh critiques. Writers write, stories and experiences accumulate, memories tickle the pen…everyone of them wants a tribute. -Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading Why write?
Writing is like diving deep into an unknown ocean. With only a few words and phrases to build a raft, the pen becomes the oar. It is scary and there is no sign of the end. The beginning is that of procrastination, or of impulsive decision to start the journey. There is also a feeling of nervousness and about learning the surges of new emotions; … Continue reading Through Writing
Writing seems to be ebullient even while narrating the continuum of depreciating existence. The type of energy writing survives on seems to be of an unearthly nature. As a writer, I feel, there is a narrow labyrinthine scope allowed for a piece of creative narrative to witness the other end of the deliberate maze. All that the maze is composed of are — criticisms, rejections, premature conjectures, … Continue reading Labyrinthine Journey
It is scary to think that during inertia the facade clears away to reveal a more tantalising time of energetic scampering through an indecisive path. You are presented with an envelope carrying a secret message. Whether you tear it open or open with indifference, does not affect its nature. You can gaze at this time quizzically or palpitatingly and wait for it to respond in … Continue reading The Message
How well do you comprehend the ambiguity of literature? Often perceived to be fictional truth, an exaggerated manifestation of the conspiring emotions which trouble the mind, it goes further to etch out a path to understand the passive anxiety. Writing may simply be the urge to chronicle the daily experiences (both significant and insignificant) the daily communications of human aspirations, failures, struggles, heartbreak and pursuits. … Continue reading It is Literature
How close do you get to your writing? Are you afraid of being intimately involved with the passion that flows like an eager stream which has found a worthy course? While writing can be a lonely affair, but the emotions, thoughts, and new enthusiasm do seem comforting. The best part of this relationship is, it starts with a flicker and if favourable, transforms into a … Continue reading How Close?
Ascend, adopt, adapt, adept- thus, the synchronization of the journey. Writing it is… -Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading Writing it is…
Creativity is birthed anywhere, within the four walls, in the wilderness, in solitude, in the midst of a crowd, and even in semi-conscious sleep. Now, there are so many destinations and myriad avenues for creativity and all we can come up with few words of lament and tired feelings, that too by isolating the heart and mind from all the wonderful places. The missing dimensions … Continue reading It is Essential and Important
