Now a Days I am Reading & Writing

I never developed the habit of reading novels or books. But sometimes I pick up a book here and there and try to read. And in this process I have finished Lovestory(ya ya I know its too mushy,that was my first),Alchemist, FivePointSomeone, King of Torts, Black White & Various Shades of Brown. That's all. Out of these Lovestory & Alchemist were the worst. Somehow I can't relate to these fiction and unrealistic stuff in a book or novel. However untrue it may be, I can relate much more to something which feels realistic, which is straight from life, which happens or can actually happen. And may be that's why now a days I am reading Intentblog, a few more blogs, and books which I feel are realistic. Let me tell you that I have no idea about the authors of novels which ppl swear by. So for me a Dan Brown is as alien as Agatha Christie. And one thing I have realized , though late, is, it helps to read. To understand ppl, stories, perspectives, and life in general. When I was a kid the only stuff I used to read were Comics and Chandamama. And I used to pick up the newspaper everyday and turn to the page where there were these cartoon characters Henry,Archie,Denis and the humorous Lockhorns.

As far as writing is concerned, we hardly write now a days. Its such a pain to write with a pen and paper, you can't edit, the handwriting looks like some prescription. So whatever writing we are doing now a days is from the keyboard, where there is backspace to edit and Ctrl C & Ctrl V. It has made life a lot easier. I actually blogged my first blogs in 2001, but after three or four arbit posts I didn't continue. The writing bug had not bitten me. This blog is just a few months old. And now a days I am blogging with a decent frequency. And its not just blogging, there are a few more things taking shape, but let's keep them as surprises. And what an convenient medium blogging is. No rules, no boundaries, just myself. I hope I continue with this blog for ever.

Have Fun@COaDM
