Hunred forty three

When you see or read a inspirational story and you are all pumped up. But with the time that fades away. The inspirational story would inspire you but often don't kick start. I feel just like car wont start with low battery. It cranks up and stops after some time. You need to find a better more impactful inspirational story to kick start your own inspirational journey. I assume very few people could keep their mental state at hyper level all the time and most of us unable to do so. Is there a method to do that? Trying to find one. 

Hundred twenty nine

Sitting in front of a PC and don't know what to write. Stephen King told that if you don't know what to write, better to wash the car. Monsoon has started and I can't go out and wash the car. My daughter taught me that if you push yourself, you can tell a story every night. The stories are good some nights and bad on another. I have taken up this assignment of writing every day, just to improve the writing skills and discipline of sitting at one place for 15 mins. 

Ninety nine

Writing a blog or telling a story every day is difficult. I write with no specific idea or I sit and think for a while and start with a small idea. Sometimes the idea or experience has more substance and hence I could write better and more. Often the idea lack substance and I lack the research and hence blog post becomes small and ordinary. I tell a story to my daughter every night. I just start story set in either at sea or land or mountain and rarely in ice landscape. One leading character either boy or girl or fixed. Often one hero will fill many stories like Phantom or Mandrake stories. I often wonder about my brain and surprised by the story coming out of my mind. I never thought about that until I told the story. This also means that if you force yourself to write or tell a story, you can come up with an interesting story. 

Sixty six

I am unable to write anything. This means I haven't spent time on introspection or thinking. We don't sit idle in the smartphone era. All companies want us to spend time on their website. When you are forced to think; you tend to think. Is it called meditation? Maybe. Every day my daughter asks for a story; from the past 6 years, I am telling a story every day. She forces me to think about a new story every day. Often I was frustrated with this. Because, every day I can't create an original story and as she grew, she demanded more complicated and compelling stories. But eventually, she forced me to think. For being creative, we have to spend time without doing anything.

Story

Gauri is almost 3 years old now. Her vocabulary and logic has grown beyond my imagination. Every day she amazes me with her new words, sentences and precise logic. At the same time her imagination is not limited by adult logic and hence imagination runs very wild. Here is a set of photos, when she narrated a story of purple monkey, pigeon and elephant mixed with amba bushi (cow). I am not supposed to correct her nor help her- oh yes, she knows everything, so here goes her story enjoy....
