A Holy Tribute to “The Writer’s Block!”

These days whenever I talk to a blogger in town, all they have to talk about is a disease which to my knowledge is attributed to be the most common disease in the blogworld…well, they call it “The Writers Block-The HIV of Blogspace”. ;-)

While even I was also infected by this cyber disease, I thought why not shove it off by tributing a post to this bimaaari only. Meanwhile, this would also give me a chance to make my wonderful netizens and followers aware of this bugger, so that they stay away from this emosanal attyachaar. And they also understand the real cause of inconsistencies of the posts on this blog.

Well, TWB had struck me last in December for almost 4 weeks when I had not written a single post, and I was hiding my face from everyone. Over and above that, my few beautiful followers who still exist here n thr had started asking me the question… “Kya bi, no new posts!!!”… “Long time…stopped writing???” Some sarcastic ones even didn’t stop commenting, “Toh finally…the Blog JOSH is over?”

The feeling is painful…My fellow bloggers would agree with me on this. It’s like actually asking a capable batsman going through a rough patch, why is he not been able to score runs. An accentuated analogy wud be like asking a man to use the “V” :Pill.

Is it a crime for not getting ideas enough to write? Frens, lemme tell you, sometimes this bimaaari of writer’s block struck us so hard that even when you have so many ideas to write about, still, when you sit down in front of your computer…you feel paralyzed…you find urself unable to be able to press a single key on the board.

Some of the most crazy responses and symptoms which I’ve come across from people suffering from “The Writer’s Block (TWB)” are:

• TWB for a few weeks
o It always starts with the Time Factor…easiest excuse… “Not getting enough time these days…too busy with work mahn…!”
o Sister/friend’s wedding come handy as an easy excuse…

• TWB for a month or two
o “Yaar ideas hi band ho gaye hai…mai likhne baithti hoon aur dimaag se words hi chale jaate hai…”…lolz…
o “Oh! Just had a break-up…giving myself some time to get over it…plz understand.”
o “Life is &*^%ing mundane re…why don’t you bring back spice in my life…I promise I’ll get back blogging!” Well, that’s desperate call…;)

• TWB persisting for Six months n over
o “Saale…abhi bhi us blog par jaata hai kya…Could you tell me my URL? Just forgot it still exists?”
o “Stop asking me…itna hi hai to khud likh le…&**&^&^%&^%&^%...”.
(SPOILER: The state of such a blogger in the end is like that of Kangna Ranaut in the end of any of her movies…)

All that any blogger wants to say while suffering from TWB is this, “I can write, haven’t I proven before, haven’t I been making your life readable through some of my crafty blogs here n there.” Par woh kya hai naa, ek blogger ka dard ek blogger hi samajh sakta hai.

Well, I know when I am done writing this post...one SOtheB who would be smiling and basking out there in the glory of the sun would be none other than the bacteria named, “The Writer’s Block”!!! Also, even I am feeling a lill more relaxed here by finally giving a TIT for TAT lesson to this worm or weed by using its own name to get away from it…;-). Not a bad idea sirjee… Kyon…???
