Well this post is really very different from the posts till now .. Simple and confession wala post!
Often its seen that the people who try being different and unique often stumble a lil and end up copying things.And the originality is lost in the hassle crowd . There are enough confusions in the world and thus its practically impossible to dole out your lost origin in the kill throat stampede .
Personal history :
So did something of similar sort occurred to me. Since the age of 9 , I had a hobby of dominating others by using sophisticated words , stolen from the conversation from the oldies or our very own dictionary. But as I grew older , there was no such thing prevailing. Since my 15th birthday , days after which my language teacher had given me an assignment stating that she would prefer one with better vocabulary. The lazy hobby now was high on heels and I dug out words as much as I could . And she liked it as well.Then this turned into an obsession in the later quarter of my high school.
Signs and symptoms :
I wrote blogs with more Euphemism and verbiage . As I had a theory in mind that better words can yeild better attention . So I kept dictionary by my side, and added an additional tab with thesaurus in my computer .I went on and on writing poetry , experiments , experiences with the best of the vocabulary . Soon , I got more and more satirical with the language power I had attained .
Treatment :
In my case , the treatment was not required . The disorder healed all by itself and got to normal . Things can't stand long merely on the foundation of extravagance and loose pillars. Similarly you can't entertain people merely by showing off your skills , get a concept , represent it well .Then you would be a writer.I happened to read an old post of mine , the vocabulary was so fantastic but I could hardly yeild anything out of the post mainly because I had forgotten what they actually meant, and referring the dictionary for every alternate word was a tedious job.
Unanswered part :
Shakespear who has had zillions of fans and readers, how did he get it ? I mean there were many other novels who had better novels with simpler text rather than the typical " Thy , thou , brethren , beseech " etc
May be because he was a man who had each of his finger in dipped in a totally different pie. Fame not only highlights your strength but also your hobbies as epics which don't actually deserve the title.
Now I guess enough of humbleness and negativity for today.
Take care
have a good time.
Be different.
Not a showpiece!
Have your talent
exploit it yourself before others do !
Good Bye !
