How watery this post, flowing dripping carrying this through that. Images meld, sounds amalgamate. Indeed what is write-ing?

I loved this. I think my writing to me is the spaces between movement and stillness. <3

And so much gets unravelled in those spaces, no Aparna?

Yes. The "Bardo" of knowing-writing-understanding. Space that is neither empty nor full, and all temperatures and colours at once.

Producing a story is like giving birth to a baby. Starting with labour pains and ending with cleaning the baby.

Well written words about writing. 👌🏼👌🏼

Dii.... I am just overflowing with the adjectives and the techniques you have used ....be it Maon..aaahhh the observation you have shown ...the presence of mind....the detailing,be it moth or any other creature...It's more like asking questions to teaching us to ponder on the things around us ..... I am just overwhelmed by this post.....You filled my mind with beautiful things.....

Now,, Writing to me is really a romantic feeling ,,,it's the affair of pen and paper with your thoughts and feelings .... It's the invitation of feelings to the greeting card "paper with the presence of "imaam/ pandith to consummate the beautiful throughts and pen.....Bhavana Maaa taught us ....writing is like a tea that you prepare in the morning after the sleeping experience of night...... Writing as per the book"The monk who sold ferari" is a therapy to thoughts and a language that you speak .....an emotion that flows and a practice that keeps you consistent and alive...... Diii,,, You should consider a zoom meet ...so that we can discuss each word with many stories as per our city,our struggles and everything else.....I am enriched by khichdi pot.....I would call it...Sri Dii ka chiraag instead of Aladin ka chiraag....and you are my Genie ....I love you Diii......😘😘😘
