Dear readers, gather around, for I have a confession to make – I’m all out of ideas for my daily blog. Yes, I committed to churning out a blog post every single day, and boy, did I not foresee the challenges that would come my way! It seems that inspiration has packed its bags and left for a long vacation, leaving me here, stranded in the vast desert of writer’s block.
I’ve tried to be a moral compass in the blogosphere, sharing my thoughts on ethical and moral issues. But alas, my readers seem to be avoiding my posts like the plague! It turns out, not many folks are fans of ML (Moral Lectures) or Gyan (the Hindi equivalent of wisdom). Perhaps I should have stuck to writing about the woes of my garden, for it seems that even my tomato plants garner more attention than my moral musings.
In a moment of sheer desperation, I contemplated diving into the deep, juicy sea of love and romance. However, at the tender age of 73, I find myself ill-equipped to navigate those turbulent waters. I fear my attempts at describing modern dating would sound like a confused historian trying to decipher hieroglyphics.
Then, like a knight in shining armor, an idea struck me! Humor, that’s the ticket! I have a treasure trove of hilarious life experiences to share. But alas, recounting these gems might leave many scratching their heads in bewilderment, so I promptly gave up on that notion.
As I surfed the web in search of inspiration, a peculiar topic caught my eye – the colorful world of insults! I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of exploring the rich tapestry of words like “Asshole.” Little did I know, a whole universe of articles, blogs, and papers already exists on this subject. There’s enough material to earn a PhD in Assholery! It ranges from the definition of Assholes to their types, traits, and hundreds of ways to deal with them. So, I reluctantly dropped this topic, knowing that many have beaten me to it.
My mind then wandered to a different idea – writing about the various types of eccentric and odd people I’ve encountered in my lifetime. Those unreasonable, obstinate, and sometimes downright silly folks who make life interesting. But the more I researched, the more I realized, I might just be one of them. So, why bother stirring the pot? Let sleeping eccentricities lie.
Ah, but there’s one thing that never fails me – my trusty Nikon DSLR camera. When all else fails, I become an amateur natural photographer, capturing plants in my lawn, towering skyscrapers, and the views from my tower. Yet, even this endeavor became repetitive, and I found myself yearning for new horizons. But who has the energy to drive all the way to the hills near Simla just for a change of scenery? So, that idea too was shelved.
And so, dear readers, the search for interesting blog content continues. Perhaps one day, I’ll stumble upon that elusive topic that will set my creative juices flowing. Until then, I’ll continue to share my woes and wanderings in this unpredictable journey of blogging. Who knows, maybe the next post will be the one that finally breaks the curse of writer’s block!
Guchi.
