Amruta's Writing Block!

Trying to find a balance between my need to communicate, to be in control, and to get over my writer's block – all to fulfill my dream of being the new kid (or old lady) on the "writing block"… Yeah, yeah, I do sarcastic comedy on the side! :D

About Me

What I Feel…

  • My priceless gift!!!!!

    This is a world of give-n-take!!! Gifts, as I have lately begun to realize are not meant to express happiness, gratitude, encouragement, or even love. In today’s times, its just business. I, as u must’ve realised, am strongly opposed to this. Anyways, yeah, so receiving gifts these days is no longer an excitement. But it Read more

  • Carvings on the wall…..

    Do you find advertisement placards , bills and pamphlets put up on walls and meter-boxes  irritating?? Well, atleast I do!! But yeah, some catch-lines are too impressive to ignore…. On a wall enclosing Pune station: “Paani paishyasaarkhe udhalu naka”, meaning, ‘Don’t waste water like money’…. A small line, but says a lot!! Doesn’t it?? What’s missing Read more

  • Dream #2

    And once I was walking on the road, and casually turned to look back. A monkey, one of the small kinds, with a dangerous red face was following me!! I panicked!!! Seriously!!

  • Dream #1

    And there! The world was coming to an end! Well, if not the world, at least my city. My city was totally flooded! People were running (nah, swimming) helter-skelter to save their lives. The water levels were rising fast and furiously. And the water – it was not the usual colorless liquid, it was dirty, Read more

  • Dreams I didn’t even dream I would dream!! :-))

    “Dreams are the stepping stones to success, so what should you do to be successful??”, asked a senior at college… As we all looked at him, unsure whether to attempt this one or not, he exclaimed, “Go to Sleep!!!”, and went on laughing like he thoroughly enjoyed his own piece of humour!! I grinned and Read more

  • My driving!! (not other people mad…am talking about the real stuff here!!hehe)

    I love driving!! Though not from the start, I must admit…. I first of all started driving a little later than allowed, at the age of 21, and it was quite a shaky start. My younger sister had already learned driving, and she was indeed a verry good driver. So adding to it my own Read more

  • SRK is most definitely THE King Khan!!

    Well, his acting talents, his ssssssssstttaaaaammmmerrrring dialogue delivery, his over-acting, his style, his charisma, his clean image, his quizzing skills,  and his personal life apart, just on the scale of sheer wits, SRK scores a triple A+!

  • No… There are surely rays of hope!

    {Author’s Notes: Updated on October 28, 2015} As I wrote in my earlier post, something else soon happened, which made me feel good about life, about others, and about myself. One day I had to walk over the same bridge I mentioned, while going to work. As I passed over it, the snapshots of the other day’s incident kept Read more

    {Note: This was my first blog post ever. I wrote it on my birthday, 9 years ago. In fact, it was this particular incident that prompted me to start a blog. Updated on October 28, 2015}   There was this one thing I wanted to write down somewhere for a very long time. Never found Read more
