ABOUT ME

Hey there,

I am Prachi Kumari; a Lawyer by qualification and a Writer by heart.

Let's begin with the story of, "How The Restless Soul was born ?"

In my childhood, I was too shy and introvert to convey my feelings to anyone by talking and this made me write the things I felt.

I come from an academically- inclined family. Both my parents are teachers, who strongly believed:

खेलोगे- कूदोगे होगे ख़राब 

पढोगे- लिखोगे तो होगे नवाब. 

So, our recreation activity was not only limited to playing outdoor games in playground; but all the magazines of that time including चंपक, नंदन, चंदामामा, नन्हे- सम्राट, बालहंस, सुमन- सौरभ and many more were made available to us regularly. Moreover, Bhaiya secretly used to bring Comic- books as well by his saved pocket- money. I think, this additional reading along with text- books- reading enriched me and shaped me to be the person I am today.

I used to write parody of stories or poems I read in these magazines but felt too shy to show it to anyone. Once, Didi caught me with one of such parody. So, she is literally my first reader ever. It is only because of her that I could get rid of my shyness. I would explain why ?

The moment she caught me with my parody story, the first thought which came in my mind was, "She is going to make fun of me. She would show it to everyone and I would become mass- subject of ridicule. How would I survive on this earth ?".

To my surprise, nothing of this sort happened at all. She read it silently and said in very firm voice, "ठीक तो है, लेकिन कुछ अपना लिखो." 

This one sentence saved the creative person in me from dying. This little conversation gave me the perspective that writing does not make me weird. It is a normal thing to do, since it has Didi's VALIDATION, who is the brightest kid of our family.

Bhaiya has always been a blind fan of my writings. The sweetest brother who never criticizes my work even during our fights. He is always like, "वाह बाबू, क्या लिखा है". 

Studies and writing went on hand- in- hand until Graduation. I had more than half a dozen essays and a few poems published to my credit in सुमन- सौरभ, a magazine of Delhi- Press. Some comments were published in newspapers as well.

Law School did not give me the time to do such creative stuff and I have no regrets for that at all. Studying law had been my childhood dream, and I cannot imagine myself pursuing anything other than law. Writing is my passion and law is my life. 

Although I worked with THE LEX- WARRIER: Online journal (ISSN: 2319- 8338) and with Deadly Law Online Media for The Libertatem Magazine (ISSN: 2395- 4418) during my Law School days; that could not satisfy this side of creativity.

Higher studies demand full time and complete devotion. But my creative soul which was born in my childhood did not die. The only change I deliberately incorporated in my personality is that I have turned into an outspoken person from a shy introvert person. However, I still find writing to be a better mode of communication than speaking. There is always an instinct to write the things I observe. This urge for writing makes me restless.

Meanwhile, my written things were being either misplaced or destroyed by rats, since I was not finding a perfect platform to get them published.

Creating a Blog of my own has been another long awaited dream. When I was in 11th standard, I had read an extract from someone's Blog in Newspaper. I did not know anything about blogging, but I thought Blog is someone's happy and independent creative space. I had a dream of having my own Blog "SOMEDAY".

In December last year, Didi randomly showed me a Vlog she is fan of AND thoughts of having my own Blog popped up again in my head. I started researching technical things about creating a Blog and The Restless Soul was born. Here again, Didi is the pushing force behind.  

WHY BOTH THE LANGUAGES ?

My Wednesday post is in English and Sunday post is in Hindi. The reason for this bilingual Blog is that I am born in the state of Bihar and have pursued my higher education in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Naturally, Hindi is the language in which I can express myself more precisely. Hindi is the only language, which can reflect my culture more accurately. 

As far as English is concerned, it is rather a life- skill for us than language. (People from Hindi belt would relate with this.)

TO MY READERS:-

My hyper- active mind never allows me to do only one thing at a time. So, I am pursuing law as my career and blogging as my passion.

Only readers can quench the thirst of a writer by reading the creative work and and giving feedback. My passion is all dependent on you. The Restless Soul is looking forward for your love and support.

Thank you for visiting the Blog.
