It has been a while that I have allowed myself to let go. Of things. Of life. Of a schedule. Of chores. Of lists in diaries. And more importantly myself.
Which is why in many years this post is coming in live to you from the safe haven of a bed. Yes for those of you who know me do not pinch yourself, I have taken a break from the regular chair-desk and propped a pillow at the back and decided to write away to glory.
What do you know? Life comes with its set of surprises, so do I 🙂
No, do not expect any fancy words from me tonight, there is no pre-written post, no scribbled notes, not even an iota of an idea in my head to begin with. Tonight, it is just you, me and this very slow moving fan on head.
I have a mortal fear of fans. Did you know that? Even the slightest departure from its normal movement can get me freaking out. Another day another story, that.
Where was I? Bed of course. The fan. The laptop.
Free write. Did it take you that many words to figure it out?
193. What? Word count.
Again moving on. How much I love writing these three words. Again. Moving on.
It kick starts me into things. Breaks me out of ruts. Out of situations, emotions, people and more importantly me.
230. Remember 500 it is. Till we bear each other in this life full of miseries. I am kidding, you and I go far. Come back this Thursday for another new post and then next Monday for another Monday musings. Again.
You and I 🙂
Moving on.

It has been a very calm before the storm kind of weekend. So much thinking happened. And in a way so much work as well. Slow moving minutes of the hand today quietly whispered their dreams. Their nightmares. Their hopes. Their fears.
But somewhere around midnight, we found peace. Ask us how?
We opened the laptop to a new post. Decided to speak. To tell you, it is not over. But we will survive. Our dreams. Our nightmares. Our hopes. Our fears.

Stories make people, people make stories. Every day I come across a blog which touches my heart, which moves me to be a better writer. Beauty of blogging is that these guys are real. No book launch, signing events divas. Real people, like you and me.
I love it. What? Life. And blogging. Is there any difference between the two?
So much happens each day. I sleep at night and wonder. For those who are not blogging, not engaging in ideas how did it go? This life thing.

This too shall pass.
Who am I kidding? There is so much happening. I know blogs and hence deem it to be important. Look at big boss participants, I mean no don’t look at them. No. Never.

We are near. Or are we? I feel like writing more. It is still four minutes to midnight. Monday is far away.

Ouch just like that 500!
Wait, don’t rush. Where do you have to be? What did you do over the weekend? No not the mall shopping, pub hopping. What did you do? What did you think?
Connecting it with Write Tribe #MondayMusings.
It’s nice to just be and ramble on for a change! What’s a blog for!
Blogs are always meant to rant la! 😀
I loved the tone of this piece, Richa! Meditative, it was for me. Listening to your questions, your musings, thinking of answers of my own…making sense of them…of life…on a Sunday night!
Love!
Making sense? Or perhaps removing some of it 🙂 Glad you liked it 🙂
Wow… Random Thoughts and u know at times we really need this Free write stuff so that we no more obsess ourselves with the systematic course of life, to regain composure …
Loved it.. Keep writing 🙂
Free write always help cleanse out stuff…
Nicely put. I love the way you write. A complete different style.
Thanks Binod 🙂
Seems like it did the job, Richa! 🙂
Sure did!
Relax n Rave isn’t that my mantra? Great minds think alike 😉 Every once in a while…comes the need to let go…free of stress…let matters follow their own course instead of you trying to figure the best course! Free Write is good!
For me it is becoming a regular feature 😀 But yes every once in a while sure!
Unique style, Richa 🙂 Points to ponder…
Thanks for stopping by Anita glad you liked it 🙂
A different style. Loved it. It did force me to think what I did on my weekend. House hunting leaving no time to think anything else. :/
House hunting aha that must be fun no?
Fun!! I don’t know if it’s a right word 😛
Ha ha! I liked the easy -peasy getting to 500 tone of the post. My weekend was fun. a beach on Saturday and a country park on Sunday 🙂
Haan haan phoren peeps! 😀
Loved the tone of this post, Richa. It had a soothing effect on me. My weekend went helping out a friend in moving one day and the next day we stayed at home watching Grey’s Anatomy. 🙂
Grey’s anatomy wow a happy weekend that means 🙂
I found it very interesting the way your thoughts meandered, no actually moved on, again and Again. Moved on. in this post. My weekend went by reading Anne of Green gables and it made me think how did I miss reading such classics in childhood. On Monday I did feel and see the surroundings as Anne did. Wait, I have a story to tell here.
Now did you write this one? The story you just thought 🙂
I did. It is the latest one I posted.
Will check it tomm morning 😀 So good you thought of something on my blog and followed it up as well!
Its quite interesting to read your ramblings, Richa. 🙂
Happy you liked meera 🙂
hey awesome. I got a new framework for free writing. Will be more free with my second free written post. Thanks for this chainless ramble.
Will look forward 🙂
Loved reading this . Someday I must try this . And that day is going to e very very soon
Tell me how it went for sure 🙂
Something very early ‘Stephen Kingy’ about this post… the way he would keep chatting, halt and see where he’s at and then continue chatting away 😀
You need to consider typing from bed more often… there may be a multi-national book bestselling/movie deal in it for you 🙂
*shades on* Roshan why do you think I even this 😀
Yes, Stories make people and People make stories. Couldn’t deny that at all, everyday I too come across a blog that inspires me to keep at it.
– Style.. A Pastiche – Drop by some time
Totally agree, blogs keep us going in so many ways..
Happens most of the times. You want to write but you do not have topic. That’s why I write”nothing special” posts just to keep up with writing.
This post I liked a lot. When I hv nothing to write. Free writing but awesome way. Just flows
Free writing also helps clear out our heads a lot. Often posts after a free write come out quite nice 🙂
Quite like the random nature of the post. I guess sometimes it’s always great to reflect :D. By the way I can truly associate with your point regarding the fans. The fan in my room in Hyderabad used to screech so much that I always had the fear it will fall over my head while I am sleeping 😛 :P.
Right? Now that is a real kind of a fear no?
