LOCKDOWN DIARY : DAY 13

Today, I was wondering if I am sitting for 10 hours a day in front of a computer, what more could I do alongside? I figured while I needed my eyes to look at the screen and fingers to type, my ears were relatively free. Unless I was concentrating on something crucial or was on a call, I could utilise my ears. Instead of songs, today, I decided to listen to an audiobook. There are a bunch of audiobooks available for free on YouTube. There is The Little Prince, there is Gandhi’s autobiography, there is Sherlock Holmes. I chose to lay my hands, oh wait ears, on a book called Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott. It's often referred to as the bible of writing guides. I didn’t think I’d ever say it for a book but do Youtube it. :)

The book pulled me in. There were moments in between my work when I lost track & had to rewind, and then, there were moments when I got so engrossed, I forgot my work. I regard Lamott as my YQ Baba. I will leave you with her quote that will make you want to read/listen to it right away: “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”

4 new cinemagraphs added. For the first time, we have a cinemagraph designed by one of our writers, Amar Tanveer, who mailed it to us. We are making it free for all for 1 day. Join me in thanking him.
