Text of the page (random words):
ss to say anyone passing through such rigorous training had a visible advantage as compared to those who missed it my handwriting remained fine enough all through my student days and even after but coming to the middle age i noticed a slight decline the letters getting slightly wavy rather wayward i discovered with concern that my writing fingers were getting a bit stiff and shaky while writing i was worried also because my father an english professor and writer of repute was already suffering from shaky fingers quite severely he would usually take too long to sign a single cheque and often would spoil a couple during the process he once revealed to me that he had parkinson s disease ever since his younger days but then it was mild and did not handicap him noticeably being his only son to join his profession i happened to gradually inherit his pen too he would often pass his writing assignments which he did not want to do himself over to me now with signs of decline in my handwriting i got slightly alarmed of that particular inheritance but i did not panic instead i said to myself fear not face up i tried to rationalize a little bit and told myself the body needs proper blood circulation to function normally so do the fingers may be there is some obstruction in the blood flowing through my fingers and they are turning a bit stiff hampering their smooth movement with a pen on paper i reasoned that maybe i needed some kind of exercise to keep flexibility in my fingers i do not know if that was medically prudent but after my morning walks i started the simple exercise of pressing my fingers and palms against stem of a tree in different positions that worked i duly included that in my morning routine and have been regularly following it i am glad even today when i write it comes quite smooth and readable thank god i did not inherit my father s affliction and managed to steer clear of it till date stepping out of the flash back and returning to the present moment i feel it has become imperative to keep the handwriting tradition alive and running the key to success lies in waking up to the problem consciously facing it and keeping in constant practice so take care have an eye on what you write and how if you wish to write beautifully perfectly just keep writing remember practice makes perfect ashok misra a job and a career featured ashok misra 10 comments recently one of my ex students posted a message on his facebook wall informing about his first appointment with a fertilizer company naturally that was followed by many congratulatory messages especially from peers i too posted my own adding you re on way to a golden career and a happy life blessings all said and done i had an afterthought that he had joined a job and i wishe d him a golden career job and career there is obviously a close connection between the two but is that known to those who are most immediately concerned by these the teacher in me sprang into action i promptly drafted a message and posted it on my fb wall addressing all my friends on the site inviting their views on this relevant topic it went as follows hello my fb friends most of you my ex students are in jobs all over india a couple of you abroad too all are busy making a glorious career have you ever tried to understand the difference between a job and career if not it is high time you started reflecting over it whatever you think of it please share here with me and all your friend circle the brilliant ones may be incorporated in my forthcoming blog dealing with this crucial issue anticipating their insightful views on the issue the next evening when i accessed my wall i was amazed at their response there were more than 30 likes but not a single comment opinion on my query so that was that i quickly figured out that most probably they are yet to give this crucial point a serious thought i decided to do something to rake up the issue a little bit to clear the air around it at the very outset it appears that the terms job and career are often used to mean the same thing rather confusingly but are they really conceptually similar or different they are neither exactly similar nor different however they are actually complementary looking at the job we can say that it is something one takes up to earn money it is simply work done in exchange for money and usually starts as a short term assignment it is rather a single pursuit unit later on one may continue with it or move on to the next stage career on the other hand is built up in the long run it is like a sequence of jobs related to the same field or profile a successful career is attained through one s growth in job skills knowledge and experience during one or more job s careers are usually vocations such as in teaching research medicine law management civil services etc people often see personal goals as a part of their career as one advances in ones career one also derives benefits of networking in the area of activity so you can see while one can work very hard at a job and even be paid well to work sincerely and competently a career takes much more it involves motivation planning as well as effort than in a mere job due to that it becomes imperative for one to pursue ones career more consciously and carefully than as one usually does for a job the youth today is quite aware conscious and equipped regarding his her career career consciousness is in the air students usually make their choices even before writing their first board examination they know what they wish to become in life and opt for the respective streams they wish to pursue by the time they complete their education they are ready for a job hunt of their choice if it is in their chosen direction the first job turns out to be their first step towards their goal i e career from then on they have to keep to that very field moving on diligently persistently ultimately slowly but surely they reach their target a sound career of their dream to carry them through their lives remember you can apply for a job but can t apply for a career a job may be given to you but a career is made by you bit by bit you have to plan in advance take a plunge into it and wade through until you hit the goal post of your dream career ashok misra voices of silences featured ashok misra 12 comments ever seen some solitary dawn or dusk the silence of a lake tranquil cool transparent beneath the surface deep somewhere ever had a peep to see what goes on within just put your ear for a while you will find if you strain a little harder hear closely and sympathetically they almost speak yes those silences i but what do they voice how silences too have voices they are not tongueless as they appear they do strive to speak in their own style manner sometimes in a low tone murmuring sometimes in a sad tone lamenting or sometimes in a scream full of desperate frenzy for someone to listen understand silences are not that silent even as people assume themselves they are just an attitude meaning oh let go of it just no use saying anything at all ashok misra be pen friendly featured ashok misra 2 comments the small world of a writer be pen friendly make pen your friend not just by going for all those expensive brands circulating in the market and making your shirt pocket their showcase but by writing and being a writer i would wish everyone who reads this blog make it his her tagline and if not already a writer then become one as fast as possible starting as toddlers at school or even before that we all have been writers we have been writing our class notes and test examination papers official letters and business communications and so on some of us even stray into the fascinating zone of writing poems stories and plays and even feature articles but the number of people joining the latter group is considerably low that prompted me to write this blog it states that one should befriend the pen and get into writing non routine things especially literary talking of routine or non routine types let us say that all we write as part of our studies job or other such purposes is the routine writing while that which we do as expression of our thoughts feelings and emotions with a touch of creativity is the creative writing it is called creative literature writers i have found enjoy a high reputation in the society they are viewed with considerable respect even awe by those who come in their contact why somebody once said those who read good books are in company of the greatest minds i entirely agree with this view their greatness reflects in their body language that is not all noted english essayist sir francis bacon said reading maketh a full man conference a ready man and writing an exact man in other words writers are the most exact correct of all people of studies sir francis bacon so it would not be a bad idea to go for it while starting my blog creative expressions i had this aspect in mind after uploading a couple of posts i got some followers and i too started following many going through their blogs i discovered how fast has this network of writers spread far and wide people are reading and writing a lot there is no dearth of good writers and readers too happily this is a global phenomena encompassing all lands and categories of people from youth to the aged but there is scope for a lot more a large number of aspiring writers are waiting hesitatingly there in the wings to get on to the centre stage and showcase their talent the big question haunting them is how how to go about that how to take the first step first of all one has to get free from hesitation easy one should say to oneself yes yes i want to be a writer i can write i shall write i m going to be a great writer once this declaration is made one would instantly jump to the next point how and the mind would start racing in that direction if you happen to be an aspiring writer you have to tell yourself many things like reminding yourself about your earliest forays into creative writing remember the poems and stories you wrote for recitation or narration or even for school magazines try to recollect how you put together those early attempts and also some glorious moments how elated you felt at that moment and especially the applause you got from your teachers friends and parents make that moment your diving board from where to take plunge into the deep ocean of creative writing make a firm resolution to yourself i am going to write daily next the writing skills you have to take stock of your arsenal of writing skills think of that in terms of two aspects content and form content is the what and form the how of the writing form mainly includes language skills e g vocabulary idioms and phrases figures of speech grammar syntax etc remember a writer ought to possess all those linguistic skills to the level of expertise because any error is unpardonable in the printed form but again tell yourself problems are challenges which an aspiring writer has to accept and overcome it is interesting to note that no writer wrote the finished piece at first go he she had to do many drafts to give it the perfection a publication requires speaking of perfection one would do well to read successful popular writers to learn the tricks of the trade remember voracious readers make better and more successful writers as they have more idea about selection of themes weaving plots and creating the whole thing many writers are too shy to share their writings with others but writing unless it is a personal diary journal is meant to be shared with readers all over when you realize that your writing is fit enough to see the light of the day go out and find yourself a publisher of course that is the toughest job sometimes even harder than writing itself but that has to be faced in order to reach out to the readers each successful publication carries an incentive for the next
