A Fast paced Generation !

We live in a time when Apple i pads & Galaxy Tabs are being gifted to infants as birthday gifts. And I am not joking here. I actually found that a new Mommy was updating her status on Facebook that her two year old son was gifted a Galaxy Tab by his Grand parents as a Surprise Birthday Gift. A two year old and a Galaxy Tab? I mean, seriously? Whatever happened to the good old building blocks/ stuffed toys? Though I don't have a kid myself, I can actually think of much interesting gifts than Tablets/ i pads. No matter how clever or advanced the kid maybe I am of the belief that kids should be able to enjoy their childhood the good old way. In an age when kids grow up at an extra fast pace, maybe we should take time out of our hectic schedules and just be with them. And I mean physically and mentally. Definitely something to think about. Are we actually robbing them of their innocence here? 

Why I love to Write

Felt like writing, so I am going to list out a few things that are coming to my mind right now on Why I love to write (Forgive the bullet points, but just felt like writing to the point as of now). So, here goes:

• Writing is relaxing and soothes my nerves.
• Writing is great way to unwind and get things off your mind.
• Writing makes me happy !
• It gives me a sense of power. Never underestimate the power of words!
• Nobody judges you, unless you decide to share it with someone like in a blog or a book. 
• Words make great friends. You can create a new world out there.
• Writing inspires. Yes, you may find a flash of inspiration right here and now.
• Writing is beautiful & soulful when written from the bottom of your heart.
• It is a way of telling your side of the story, whether someone reads it or not is up to them.
• Writing is special. It is a gift that very few get, so embrace it.
• A pencil becomes a magic wand.
• Writing, for me, is nothing short of a miracle...
