You start thinking "I have to write something" instead of "I have to write this..." :)
It helps to understand why you can't write. Pressure? Lack of knowledge? Bored or uninterested? Diffidence, or maybe worried about the final work? Knowing why makes a huge difference to the speed at which you can get over WB.
It also helps to have other interests that may or may not be connected to what you write about. If it's different, you might find a new perspective to write with; if it's connected, it might open up alternative streams of thought you might have missed otherwise.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R. Sreeram I'm tempted to say, "Write" but it's probably a piece of advise that every aspiring author is ad nauseum-familiar with.

So I'll say something else. Write what you want. There are no rules, no templates, no freaking checklists about what your output should be. Write blogs, essays, stories, poems, songs - whatever grabs your fancy. Write on computers (I'd recommend this because the rest of the process is easy), notebooks (the paper kind!), notepads, scraps of paper, the napkin in your hand... anything.
Write in your style. Or as you want to tell your story. No matter who tells you what, as the writer, it is your baby. You decide what you want to write.
And once you've written something, anything - a word, a chapter, an entire book - be prepared to have it junked. And be strong enough to pick it up again and show it to someone else. Everyone's going to have an opinion, and that won't change for your first book and for your hundredth. So take in constructive feedback, but don't ever write for an audience. Write for yourself, and the world - or at least a small part of it - will want to read.(less)

Quotes by R. Sreeram (?)

“You know what I love about India, Mr Selvam?’ he asked softly. ‘It’s the birthplace of so many new thoughts. Religion. Philosophy. Science. Zero. Geometry. Trigonometry. Governance. But above all, tolerance. Take any topic, any era before the British Raj, and you will see that we’ve never persecuted anyone for the thoughts they had or the beliefs they propagated.”
― R. Sreeram, KALYUG

“there would have been some idle persecutions here and there, a clash of ideas and egos, but by and large, for the duration that we were the richest and most wonderful of nations in the world, we were also the most tolerant. That tolerance is the fabric that weaved our different states, united our tongues . . .”
― R. Sreeram, KALYUG

“But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.”
― Edmund Burke
