Escape

You remember the the school lunch breaks? the times, when you would finish your tiffin ASAP so that you could find more time to play. I miss those days. But the thing I miss even more is the feeling I used to get 10 minutes before the break. The feeling you get, when you know something good is about to happen. The feeling you get, when you are about to Escape.

Escape? how do we define such a complex concept? It need not to be a big hotshot trip, it could be very simple. Like, a hot cup of tea when you are drenched in the rain is an Escape. Calling home after a heavy day is an Escape. Listening to soothing classical music in a noisy city is an Escape. Reading a book to explore an unknown world is an Escape. Getting the Idea?


So what's the occasion for me to write on this subject? Simple, I'm having my Escape from my routine, where words help me express my thoughts, where I communicate to strangers(one sided though, LoL), and try to find tiny bit of happiness(I feel that once the post is complete).  Writing is my Escape, and I know it.

And that's the thing I would like to share with everyone who will come across this post. Life is like school. You gotta perform well, achieve great heights and doing many more things, but along the way don't forget to have the little Escapes. Know the Escapes which suits you, and soothes you too. Cause these Escapes make you unique, they recharge you and more than that, they make you happy. 

So Happy Escaping!

Character

I love watching movies. It's my favorite past time. And every good movie has something unique. This goes for movies across genres. Of course depending upon your liking and ability to relate or understand certain subjects, you might not like a good movie. But that doesn't mean it's not a good movie. But what a movie buff would always agree is that any movie that gets fan following, does follow one strategy. It sticks to the core subject. It has a character. As long as a movie or a web series sticks to it's core subject and puts in efforts to convey the story without getting slow, it would turn out to be a good movie. If it's an action movie, it should have the best possible action sequences. For a comedy one, you should be laughing your guts out. For a drama, it should touch your emotions. A musical should make you tap your feet.  I believe, just like any good movie, we all have one true character. Some are calm minded, some are outlandishly funny. Some are extremely...

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...
