With lack of time, but something interesting gnawing the mind, Twitter comes very handy indeed. However, once in that world--- the desire to dump all sorts of punctuations, and all other spaces is so intense, when the cup of words runneth over repeatedly while drafting a tweet, that it's not healthy for writing (FYI for the uninitiated:Twitter has a word limit of 140 words/tweet) .
Yet, I find that most people's tweets are actually correctly punctuated, and convey messages too. So, I guess, everyone has the ability to think concisely, when needed. I of course, am constantly squirming to write just one more word or so.....'convolutions of logic' need to be expressed I guess, and have thus to resort to that old-style, free- flowing, white-paper-beckoning times of 'no word limit'. As is apparent from my writing style, I use a lot of non-words while writing--the quotation marks, the exclamations, the ellipsis, the hyphens and so on. Taking these away from me, will surely rob me off a big part of my weaponry. Thus I chirp and sing here, and there in my paper journals, and only tweet on Twitter.
A blog to write thoughts and ideas that can grow, and a blog to do some field reporting of life as I meet it here and there, in parts and in whole. #Books #Poetry #Writing #Literature #HindustaniEnglish #heartversesmind #Kavita #Shayari #Sustainability #ClimateChange #ClimateActivism #ActivistPoet Author: When She Married Dr. Patekar and Other Stories (Hwakal Publishing, December 2023)
