My Muse Dada

Life was like a roller coaster ride for Marilyn Evans. She always had big dreams like she wanted to be a Bollywood actress. She would dance, sing and daydream a lot. Her childhood passed and she entered adulthood. Her destiny made her an English Literature student. Shakespeare, Keats, Shelley, RK Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand; the gems of literary World became her companions. Her day dreaming increased and she loved playing with rhymes. She began her journey writing small poems and playing with rhymes. She still does it on writing platforms. One fine day she found a group at Facebook and she saw some beautiful stories were written on it. She decided she wanted to write. Day and nights were simply spent in musing. She coined a character name and she named him JK.

"JK was portrayed as a lawyer by profession. He was in the late 50's. " She named her story Love Dream Friendship. She imagined him as KD Pathak and wrote a first chapter with a young girl having a phone call with a long last friend. Her young uncle and cousin brother were in the picture, the character of Papa was introduced. She wanted to portray him as loving father, a justice king, heartbroken yet mended."

As a first time writer she was expecting likes, comments and appreciation but what did people do?

"It is jumbled up."

" It is confusing."

"Too many characters."

People started judging the story after first chapter. They were some biased readers or may be she failed to impress them. Her story was a family drama at first approach.

Comments started pouring in .

Some commented:

" Nice."

" Interesting."

Criticisms revolved in her head and she was heartbroken. Yet she wrote the second chapter. 12 chapters were written and then she decided to unveil the hero's face. She put a picture of Ronit Roy. A handful of people appreciated her story and some Dada fans also joined to read. She started searching for Ronit's pictures and works. She watched his movies and some shows she missed. She realised that she has missed a lot from this actor.

Jaan Tere naam was her favourite story so she gave a failed love angle in Jk's life. Finally, the story reached 200 chapters. What inspired her to write was, of course, the appreciation she got from her readers. She also wanted to agitate with the world that don't judge a book by its cover.

"It is in hands of the audience to break an artist but it is the will of the artist that will never kill the will power to write."

In the story, she mentioned JK was born on August 11. She came to know star was born on October 11. The date 11 matched. Even the marriage anniversary of her JK co-incidentally matched with Ronit. She had a feeling that she had an heart to heart connection with him.

Her hero with Ronit's face looks so charming and cute in her stories. All his pictures had different expressions. He is really an expression king, nobody can deny it. While doing a research she realised, she has not seen so many of his works. She started watching them and it became her hobby to screen shot his pictures. Some ridiculed her saying that she is a crazy fan but nothing could stop her. Even the colour of his shirt can add to her story line. Now she is so happy as a writer that she even writes fan fiction on Ronit's works.JK was now entering into more hearts through social media and her fan fiction has got 10 K likes. Wow what can inspire a writer more? Her work is appreciated.

To my Ronit Dada,

Actually I am not getting enough words but more than anything else, you are a muse to write fiction. I love my JK, my own character, Sunil was taken from Jaan Tere naam and apna pyara Rohit Mehra.

So inspiration can come from anywhere,

Take it and chase your dreams;

People will put you on the sky;

They may pull you down;

Never leave what you love to do!

Get inspired and also be an inspiration for others.
