I have been jumping from one bandwagon to another,across continents for over 6 months. Doing various things that help me expel my creative and overactive mind. This time I chose to do something completely and drastically different from anything I’ve ever done before. I am pursuing another form of art.

It hasn’t been easy. A struggle in-fact between me and what it demands of me.It’s not easy to let go years of constitution for a sudden annulment. Restoration takes time,a drive and immense effort. But then, as I believe, art has to happen. It has to come to you and wrap you in its wake till you have no Choice but to give it a physical manifestation. So I continue to give it a shot, day after day, moment after moment. And the more I do it, the better I seem to be getting at it. Ofcourse like every form of art I don’t know when a creative block could hit but as of now I’m giving it my best shot and enjoying it as much as my hyperactive, over worked, non-stop running brain will allow.

Sometimes I don’t adhere to the guidelines of this art. Simply because it goes against the inherent grain of being a working woman/mom/Home maker etc. Etc. Etc.Its contradictory to who I am so I do break the rules and revert back to the expectations I have of myself. I clean cupboards, or cook, or sketch or write or do whatever it is my restless mind demands. But that’s cheating because multitasking is not comprehensive with this art. This needs me to be single focused and undivided attention.

I don’t think anyone understands it. They probably think I’m being indulgent and consumed by this unexplainable form of art. It’s the classic example of “ You want to be an actor/painter/writer???? But what exactly is it that you want to do with your life?” Well honestly I’m beyond caring. And I refuse to buckle under accusations of self indulgence and feel guilty. So I don’t give up. 1. Because it’s refreshing for me, it’s new and unexplored and 2. Because A professional who excells at it encourages me to keep at it.

So I am now a personified example of an oxymoron.

Oh did I forget to mention what exactly it is I am doing?!!!

Well…..

I am pursuing “THE ART OF DOING NOTHING!!!”
