SO, DID YOU KNOW: I wrote a poetry book called Poetry You Can Understand.
Writing is liberating especially if you know no one is going to read it.
During the civil war, Abe Lincoln wrote seething letters admonishing his Generals for their failures and ineptitude, but never sent any of them, ever. These letters were discovered after his passing. The mere act of writing allowed him to blow off steam and clear his head for better thinking.
I write everyday and 90% of the words I write are never saved. I write. I read. I delete.
For me, writing is a tool to parse ideas, identify gaps in my understanding, and find solutions. It allows me to spend time with myself, and know the inner me, bringing the unconscious into the conscious. To me, the practice of writing, taking long walks, and doing dishes are simply forms of meditation.
What I don’t delete, I save. Some of the things I save are posted on my blog for the world to read.
Who am I?
Have you seen that 1998 Jackie Chan movie called, Who Am I? It’s hilarious. I recommend watching it if you haven’t seen it.
Also, did you know writing about self is the second hardest thing most people do? Research says first hardest thing is giving public speeches, which is why most people would rather be in the coffin than stand next to it giving the eulogy. I tend to digress. Now, back to me.
I’m Mayur. As you know, I write, read, delete and occasionally save things.
A few other things about me.
- Cleaning calms me down.
- I sleep and snore 70% of the times when I go to watch a movie in the theaters. My wise children now sit several rows away from me.
- I enjoy taking long walks.
- I’m always up for a friendly sparring contest.
- I strongly dislike cryptocurrency.
- I want to learn how to solve the Rubik’s cube, play the piano, and a guitar.
- I will love you … if you buy me
- Books
- Dunkin hot coffee (the correct way to place the order is “Medium hot, extra, extra”)
- Vegetarian items from the Taco Bell menu
- Lemonade
- Eggplant Parm sub (not dinner, a sub) with Cajun fries
- Coke
- I will hate you … if you buy me Pepsi.
- I don’t take myself seriously. And you’d be a fool if you took everything I said seriously.
