Only when you hear in your eyes you will know

For a person in love with words since a very young age, for someone who makes a living by writing, it seems surreal to accept that words need not convey the exact or complete meaning of what one wants to say. But then, who better to know the fallibility of words than a writer himself. Even if he is a writer in the global advertising industry :)

Apart from a few sporadic poems hidden in my phone’s notes, I have not written much for the past few years. That poet-blogger, non-advertising side of my writing life got buried under deadlines, fatigue, stress, responsibilities, and God knows what all. That said, today I’m not in a mood to dwell in the past. This blog is an attempt to correct that wrong.

May I succeed in this endeavour.

And may you hear what I want to say.

The title of this post is from a book I’ve just started reading. ‘The Language of Zen’ by Richard Burnett Carter.
