A few people asked her as to why she hasn't updated her blog. Her reply is, I'm on a writing sabbatical. There are some smiles, those who understand and those who don't quite get it. And when there are no more questions, she feels quite relieved. Like a fugitive who passes a policeman without being noticed.
And it could have gone on this way, easily ..only, one day, she decided to take it head on. Writing sabbatical??? For somebody who thinks of writing as her life, a sabbatical? When you have always penned down the smallest of thought, and the biggest of passions, the craziest of dreams, and the tinniest of moments; the sweetest incidents and the saddest fall..a sabbatical??
Is it a sabbatical? Or do u just want to run away? Is it a change that you are looking for or a lost battle that you are trying to hide? You know running away doesn't help when the answers are ahead of you. And you can never run fast enough to leave the truth behind...
If you can dare to dream, then don't let the colours daze you.
As a diamond shines after the cuts, remember to rise you may have to fail... If you have the courage to dream the impossible dream, bear the burden of its scale...
