The Big Q

The big Q is the scariest thing on planet earth. If not that, it's surely the most annoying, unnerving and puzzling thing that can happen to any mortal. The big Q can drive you mad, away from home, and into hell. It's often stronger than LSD and possess the power to disarm you when you're in complete fucking control. It takes the aid of words like WHY, HOW, WHAT - and conpires to dissolve human sanity. The big Q can come from anyone, the person you love and trust the most or from a complete stranger, and then like bad Boy Band song, it plays on repeat, right inside your head. Cunning, vile and powerful, that's what the Big Q is all about. Try and stay away from it, but know it and know it well - IT WILL GET YOU!

Write to impress

Don't people do just that? Conciously or sub-conciously? Well, that would be debatable. Ask my grandparents and they would sneer at you and look at you bewildered. They, however like every goddamn piece I write. My mom believes I am no less than Mark Twain. And as for my boss, Trilok, I would have done better if I were washing plates in chinatown. Well I say, you write coz you got to write. Get it out of the system. Never make an effort to write, let it flow, as lucidly as Nina Simone's voice. Write a song, write a line, write about stuff, stuff that interests you, attracts you, (girls like that), write a thing or two, maybe write about nothing, nothing at all. Write your heart out, for oft you'll know that nothing's quite as stimulating as pouring your heart out on a piece of paper. Flesh and blood to your thoughts, isn't that what writing is all about? Or is it simply playing with words, no that would be scrabble. Write your emotions down, your imaginations, bring it all out. And all you need is a piece of paper and pen. Not an expensive profession at all. So, whether you write to impress or not, just let it all out. And yes, a little appreciation never did no harm.
