Since yesterday, I have been thinking a lot on what to write today and getting nowhere at all with it.
This is what happens when there are too many thought-worms milling about in your head. It becomes impossible to pull out just one among them and concentrate on it alone, feeding and fattening it to make it worthy of your blog page. When one tries to do that, the rest of them wriggle and wriggle and wriggle some more, disrupting thought processes and driving one crazy that one loses the already precarious hold one had on the one in hand.
Such is life.
They wriggle (it is all fun and games for them), I struggle (it is life and death for me). Well, that’s stretching things a bit too far. Let’s merely say, it is a matter of creative life or death for me. Or may be this is what creativity is about? This chaos, from which one ought to pick and choose, weave and craft, and create order, meaning and beauty.
Yes. That’s it.
So, much as a rant and rave about the pushing and shoving that happens inside my head, I welcome it. I will not be I, without it. And yet, here I am, still fretting for not getting that one thread, fit to adorn my birthday blog. Oh yes, it is my birthday today. And no, I am not going to tell you how old I am. It’s been mentioned in many a previous post. So how about making a guess?
In the mean time let me go and sleep off the heavy dinner 😉

Apologies. I had to break my all-month blogging for June midway through due to falling sick. A regrettable first for me.
Happy Birthday! I’m not going to guess your age. It’s just a number. 🙂 Have a good one!
Thank you 🙂
She starts off a micro-ramble
About thoughts that wriggle — and wriggle
A birthday is mentioned
A heavy dinner digestioned
And ends up with a post with no sign of struggle!
Haha. On that you are right 😉
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day. 🙂
Yes, thank you 🙂
Even this ramble is interesting, Shail! Age is not a matter, mindset is important. It will never age for you! Happy birthday, Shail! Enjoy life!
Thank you so much, Sandhya ❤
Happy wala budday Shail and have an awesome one. Mine is also in June and didn’t know you a cancerian, too:)
Love your free writing:)
I didn’t know either that you are a fellow Cancerian 🙂 Thank you for the wishes!
Happy Birthday Shail! :). All the best and hooray for June babies (yay!) since it doesn’t seem there are many of us out there. My birthday is also in June, but different horoscope (am a Gemini and can see you are Cancer).
Wish you had a great birthday!! 😀
Ahh, you are a June baby! Funny as it seems to me now at one point of time when still in school, I was very disappointed at not being a Geminian 😀 Now I have left it all behind me 😉
Thank you for the wishes! 🙂
Belated wishes for a happy birthday. You have so nicely described the chaos due to random goings and comings of numerous creative ideas inside ones head. One moment you think you have caught one, the next moment it slithers out of your hand. A very nice post. I loved it.
Thank you and welcome to Shail’s Nest 🙂
I use to think age was just a number but the reality, at least for me, is it’s much more than that. When the body begins to change, fail, and the mind wanders off in all kinds of directions – it’s anything but a number. Your age? I wouldn’t dare to guess. I just enjoy your blog. Happy Birthday, Shail. @sheilamgood at Cow Pasture Chronicles
Tell me about it, Sheila! Agree with you about the changes and the wandering mind.
And thank you ❤
