#21: Blank Pages

You can perhaps rewrite your destiny… but never on paper. (Unless you are using a pencil, but no one likes to write his/her destiny with pencil. All opt for darkest marker to make sure that their written can’t be erased.) So, when there’s something already written on your page, either you have to strikethrough it (Check-chak in Gujarati) which will waste and make your current and future writing both unreadable or just you have to go for… Blank Pages…!

Hope you have got the point of order, coz I hate elaborate the matters that should have been sensed. Still with no other option (the truth is I have to make the article long enough for consideration) I am going ahead with the stated idea, coz you never know when An Idea may change your life.

Life always runs in a single direction. There’s nothing like coming back. When you travel to point B from A, you never return to point A. You just actually travel once again from point B to A. In the above manner, after performing an act of writing, you go for another act of rubbing or erasing. You can’t unwrite it. (Unwrite is technically a wrong word but logically the only option.) You may get a plain page again after erasing but never a blank page. There’s nothing like ctrl +z in real life. Nothing can be undone. You may do another act to settle the account but can’t undo the first one… I wish you are getting the matter.

Childhood begins with these blank pages. You keep on writing everything you see, you learn, you absorb. (Which is the base of our next movie Maanas. But I shouldn’t use my articles for promoting my movies, so will talk about it in category D’s.) That time (in childhood) we write all the data unconsciously and while aging, we start calling it experience and maturity and many other heavy words. This is how your mind develops by time with so much of data written in so many pages. There are off course, some pages that you would never like to remind. But you can’t do anything with it. Forget the bad memory, the worst incidents of your life. Take some brand new blank pages and start writing it all again.

Raindrops affect the pots of dry land and not puddles; same is with your thoughts. When there’s no hope, no light coming from anywhere and you are not aware what to do; simply blank your mind, start it with beginning. Don’t give a damn to troubles around. Keep writing always. Just don’t forget to use… Blank Pages. – DJ.
