Yes sir. Another writer's blog is gracing Blogger. Let me begin by saying that this blog will be bi-monthly starting from next month. And it is also my first blog ever.
Through it I want to share the excitement, triumphs, tribulations and of course, the disappointments and rejections of the writer's journey. Like you, I am struggling on the road to being published. I am facing the strife of writing word after darn word, of developing plots which just won't go right and characters who are too stubborn to listen to their creator. Indeed, the writer must be one of the bravest and most enduring individuals on the planet. He must always hold his head high.
WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
And that brings me to the title of my blog. I got that from the late Rabindranath Tagore, the world-renown writer, songwriter, playwright, poet, philosopher and educator from his famous poem Where The Mind Is Without Fear. A stirring poem indeed. So it seems just to end this post with his touching words-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake
May the writer's head always be held high!
