Newton's first law - "Objects keep on doing what they're doing"

Once upon a time, I used to love blogging. When I would have a thousand ideas brimming in my head waiting to find a life on paper - when I wrote because I couldn’t not. When I checked my blog everyday without fail, often along with my morning coffee. When everyday I found something new to write or post about.

And then thoughts that were not strictly useful for getting things done were pushed away from my mind, to make way for the practical and tangible. I almost abandoned my blog. Which, I know, is very pathetic.

Now I want it back. I want to have a few thousand ideas in my head. I want to feel the urge to write. The excitement when a piece you just finished writing turned out to be much better than what you had imagined about it in your head. The total and complete, and almost therapeutic, sense of freedom when a nagging thought has been broken down and analysed and penned down, and finally laid to rest.

But somehow I seem to have lost it. And now its summer, people are on holiday, life is more happy, I do have time and guess what! I just cant seem to write. When you don’t do something for sometime, you just sort of lose it. So, if you are a regular blogger out there, don’t stop - even if you feel like your world is collapsing around you and you barely have time to breathe, let alone the grocery shopping and the laundry and the umpteen boring things that makes life go on in a socially acceptable fashion - even then you should continue. Or you will be a victim of inertia, just like me. When you write, you cant stop and when you stop, you can’t start - who else can you blame but good old Newton, with the apple on his head.

I will write, even when I have nothing to write. And soon I will have something to write. And then I will be back to a thousand ideas in my head again! If you have any brilliant or not-so-brilliant ideas to get out this rut, I am all ears! For now, I keep my fingers crossed!
