I started writing at the age of 20.Before that,I was mute, never felt anything.An emotional event led me to write-all my bottled up feelings came out, I started writing poems nearly every day.This phase lasted for a while, then slowly tapered down. Until my 30's , I used to write on and off.I was very scared of showing my writings to any one, afraid that they would make fun of them.I started with romantic themes, first-Fate dealt me 2 blows-both my diaries of poems were lost, when we were moving house, some of my most beautiful words were written there,I am talking about 7 years back.I broke down completely,I felt that I had lost a child!! I cried in front of friends, family, they assured me that a truly creative person will always be creative-I wanted to believe it, but was still scared-What if my writings were gone again?Then, the process started again,but this time it was different-My theme changed to God, His blessings, faith, hope, love and courage.Finally, my spiritual side started showing.I was amazed at the intensity of of my emotions!!
P.S :To be continued!! as soon as possible-
