Today I
found a beautiful post in the blogosphere titled DEAR DIARY. The author of this
post is a friend and a co-blogger. Our first interaction was when he commented
on one of my posts few months ago. Since then I have been following his blog.
His witty style of writing and his taste for Sher aur Shayari
has made him one of my favourite bloggers. May I please introduce you to
SUNIL GOSWAMI? Sunil
started blogging in 2006. He writes about love, life, relationship, reaching
targets, TV shows,
Movies, Cultural differences, humour and anything that comes to his mind. His
daily logs of the biphasic sleep that he records in his blog are an amazing
read. His posts Baba Ke VIP Bhakt and Stop Waiting are a must read. Overall, Sunil's Blog I BLOG, THEREFORE I AM! is a
reader's delight. Presenting one of my favourite posts and pictures from Sunil’s blog -

Dear
Diary
English
is the unofficial official language of India. Therefore it becomes imperative
for everyone to learn speaking, reading and writing English as they are growing
up. If they want to succeed in business/profession, that is.
Being
fortunate enough to be able to learn it, I have had countless people ask me for
my secret or for advice. Among other things I always tell them to write a
diary.
Writing
a diary is good because it’s a composition you don’t have to think about and
since it’s from you and for you, you don’t have to be too grammatically correct.
It makes both interesting writing and reading. For you.
But
other than as a language tool also writing a diary is very useful. Many a times
we have such a tangled web of thoughts in our mind that we cannot think
straight or figure out our life. Life is always a web, never a straight road or
even crossroads. In such a situation writing about your thoughts helps you pull
the threads apart and examine them one at a time. You can understand their
importance, their interrelations and the importance of these interrelations.
Most
of the time out of this self-analysis will emerge a path to solution. But even
if there is no solution, or no immediate solution, thinking clearly about it
can calm your mind and give you peace for the time being.
When
you write about people, surprisingly enough, you are more tolerant towards them
than while thinking. Maybe because of the immortal nature of the written word
you don’t want to be spiteful against someone who is not there (unless you are
a news reporter), and this mellowed attitude filters back to your thinking.When
you put ideas to paper (even virtual paper), you can see them more clearly and
judge them more accurately.
That’s
my thinking. What do you think?
