Am just not able to write off late. To make things worse, I have been terribly busy over the last month. Had a very hectic two-week travel to the US. Came back and got very very busy with moving to our new house. This is the first time that we have moved to a house, which we own and the process of moving in was very different from all our previous moves into rented places. The kind of involvement that goes into the planning of every fixture and every little piece of new furniture, furnishings etc was quite taxing but very enjoyable. Aditi's school admission was the other task that had to be accomplished. The workload also picked up at the same time and so did travel. Net Net, all this fed my writers block also and the outcome was a totally unproductive month...writing wise. Abhi sms'd, and said, "its scary when a regular blog goes suddenly silent"...the voice in my head said, "write bugger, write". But for some reason I am unable to see the purpose of this.
Its not as if I do not have subjects to write about. There are quite a few 1. The process of home building 2. Brand Positioning and how much time it takes - a personal case study 3. The Marketing of India Incredible in USA- a travelers view point 4. Film review of Jodha Akbar etc. But I am jus not able to put fingers to the keyboard. Hopefully, this phase will not last.

Hmm... sounds like a bad case of Writers Block. Guess there is too much happening for you in the real world.Good you dropped in a line though.
Speedy recovery!
Abhimanyu
thanks abhi :-)
Hey..happens to the best of us..you need to make a choice between "Writing what you feel" and "Feel like writing"..the content is obviously better in the former..
this too shall pass!!
Hi Dev - missed your work as well. The key is to sit down, set yourself a dead-line and tell yourself, you are not getting up till you finish 'this'.
Soon, you will be back in the flow. The first post you write can be treated as a come-back post..and by the 2nd one you will be back on track. :)
Writers blocks and good writing is almost synonymous :)
Dev, you did the right thing by just writing... even if its about the writer's block.
Sometimes, our ambition of writing well thought out, longer posts can come as a deterrant because we may not have the time or the inclination. The antidote may be to eke out a quick short post. It easens the guilt and puts us in a better frame of mind to do that longer piece.
Look forward to more of your writing. Especially about the "Brand Positioning and how much time it takes - a personal case study".
