Incomplete Challenges!

We are seven days into December, already. November just whooshed away, is it? I signed up for NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo when November arrived. By the mid of November, I fell ill and couldn’t continue with blogging daily and that was the end of NaBloPoMo. As far as the NaNoWriMo was concerned, I already had a feeling that I was doing a terrible job there. I couldn’t write every day, but I managed to write around 5000 odd words. That is around only 10 percent of what I was supposed to write.

But the good news is that I haven’t abandoned my novel, not yet anyways. I am continuing to write in my laptop, in my notepad, on my phone, whenever and wherever the musings strike. I guess this will be an ongoing process now. This is a different kind of experiment for me, a very new and thrilling experience for me. Since I am not stressing myself with finishing the work, I am rather enjoying the process as of now.

Of course, I will be signing up for next year’s NaNoWriMo, that’s what I think now. Because whether or not I reached the word count, signing up for NaNoWriMo was the best thing that I did last month. No regrets there.

So how was your life writing wise, completing challenge wise? Did you sign up for NaNoWriMo and completed 50000 words last month? How was the whole experience? Please share.

Quotes

And today is the third day for the 3-day Quote Challenge. Hadn’t Madhavi at My Thoughts They Are nominated me for this challenge, I would still be wondering about how to get back in the blogging world! So dear Madhvi, thanks a lot! Do stop by her blog.

Rules for the challenge are:

  • Post one of your favorite quotes(different quote on each day) on three consecutive days. The quote can be from your favorite book, author, or your own.
  • Nominate three bloggers to challenge them.
  • Thank the blogger, who nominated you.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

– Mahatma Gandhi

I find this one very true. Not only it teaches us to take care of ourselves but also urges us to be in charge of our happiness and be responsible to the self.

For the last day, I am nominating the following 3 bloggers to take up the challenge:

1.  Swathy Shenoy from Flightless Birds Thoughtless Wings.

#MondayMusings, Quotes

Today morning I got a message from blogger Madhavi who blogs at My thoughts they are that she nominated me for the 3-day Quote Challenge. I did not stop to think, I have already made up my mind to accept the challenge as I have not been blogging for some time now and it was driving me nuts. You might be wondering then why I did not blog. Once you go into a hibernation it is kind of difficult to get out of it unless you have that kind of determination. I would easily blame it on the traveling and vacationing that started from the end of March, but then I proved myself wrong by committing to blog daily, well 26 days , for AtoZ challenge in the month of April. After that, I wrote rarely and couldn’t even finish the 7-day long Festival of Words by Write Tribe. Well, travel was the reason coupled with the unreliable internet connection. Once I fell into that slumber of not blogging it was hard to knock it off  and get back here, in the blogging world and yes, I was missing the action here. Last week I was online and started catching up with few blogs. And of course, reading is the first step of motivation to writing, right? So Madhavi, I can’t thank you enough for nominating me for the challenge. I definitely needed this!

Here are the rules for the challenge:

  • Post one of your favorite quotes(different quote on each day) on three consecutive days. The quote can be from your favorite book, author, or your own.
  • Nominate three bloggers to challenge them.
  • Thank the blogger, who nominated you.

One of my favorite quotes here –

Never, never, never give up.

– Winston Churchill

Now, that’s not really easy, is it?

As per the rule, I am nominating 3 bloggers to take up the 3-day Quote Challenge.

1. Anamika from the bespectacled mother.

2. Vidya from Words from my Heart and Head.

3. Shashank from Embark With My Thoughts.

Creativity gone astray!

creativity, inspiration, poem, Write Tribe, Write Tribe Festival of Words

Sitting in the porch

I sift through my mind

For inspiration to knock.

The creative mind shuts down

And threw the key away

For me to go awry!

Rhymes, Proses, Poems, Stories –

They all seem to have chosen not to come my way,

I sigh!

I look out with a mind,

That is mere blank.

Roses and lilies dancing merrily,

Gentle breeze creating new rhythms,

Plants and trees joining in the party,

A musical mystery for the eyes.

Inspiration strikes,

And creativity blooms, once again!

Write Tribe Festival of Words

This poem is inspired by Write Tribe’s Festival of Words.

2015, poem

Pic via Pixabay

Pic via Pixabay
Every year begins with the same title
-New-
Erasing the fears of yesteryear,
Wiping the tears from yesterdays,
New Year begins,
To rejoice,
To celebrate,
Giving another chance
To dream again,
To make those dreams come true,
A fresh start,
Without tearing off pages
That’s written already,
A new beginning,
Fresh pages to fill in,
A New Year..

The New Day

19 Friday Dec 2014

Posted by Vinitha in Uncategorized

≈ 4 Comments

Rohit has a dream. One dream that he has been holding on to for so long. Tomorrow is the day when that dream finally comes true.

He never was a sports person, not even as a kid. When his friends played cricket and football, he spent time playing shopkeeper and businessman. He was always like that. He liked to manage things. He took care of his sister like a responsible adult when was only 10.

Rohit was sure that he wants to become a businessman when he grows up. As he grew up it changed to becoming a CEO of a firm. But he didn’t want to just wait to get old to become a CEO. So he decided to start a firm on his own. It was just a dream until few months ago. His parents, who have no knowledge in this stream was furious with Rohit when he declared that instead of finding a job just like his friends he was going to become the head of a non-existent company.

The journey wasn’t easy. He put all his time and effort in achieving his dream. Though his parents were skeptical in the beginning, they were proud of their son seeing his determination and hard work. Tomorrow Rohit is going to sign the first deal for his firm as the CEO of his own company. What a moment that is going to be!

As Rohit was going to bed, his father called him. He told Rohit that he is so proud of his little boy in working so hard to make the dream a reality. As they were having a heart-to-heart talk his dad paused in between and said, “Son, I know you have been so busy to make things work but if you go with this face to meet the client tomorrow, all your hard work will be a waste!”Rohit was shocked to hear this. Why is he saying such a devastating thing now? His father smiled and said, “Just shave before you go tomorrow, will you?” Relieved to hear that, Rohit realized how unkempt he had been the past few days. He thanked his dad and went to bed to face the new day.

Next day, spotted the CEO Rohit, ravishing in looks and manners, signing his first deal.

Written in response to the tag by Cifar and Aiswarya. I am tagging Cifar and Aiswarya to blog about  #WillYouShave.

A thought from the past!

feelings, rain

Being able to sit on the couch and listen to the rain without having to do anything else (just putting off the chores)… It was amazing back when I was small and the feeling is still the same. Its not every day that we get a chance to enjoy the beauty of rain here. And when it does rain, it blows my mind off to another world, a world just  for me – the happy place! The cloudy sky, with the look saying “I am coming to get you” is not something which we get to see daily. And when it is there, you can’t just turn your eyes away from it. That’s when I regret not having wings to fly high into the sky, hug the clouds, touch those dreamy feathers and just be there.. The rainbow that appears as a happy ending to a marvelous story who wouldn’t want to play on top of it.

Note: This was sitting in my draft for more than one and a half years. We were in Phoenix when this was penned, where it rains rarely. Guess it was rainy that day. 🙂

So here I am putting in some poems (I like to call them so :)) I wrote long before. Now the above one (Sandhya) is my first work. I wrote it during my 10th std. I know its incomplete but thats how it was and never I made an attempt to give it finishing touch. Incomplete works are good sometimes. This being a reminder of who I was I like it this way.
