Do not read this.
Not that it contains anything despicable.
Just that its will be a waste of your time

What makes one a great writer... having experienced reading books that are unputdownable which has kindled an interest in writing, this one thought has become predominant in me. Well I do have written something in the past. The 1st article I remember writing must be way back in 2006. Nine years have passed since then, may be I would have written about 9 articles. Not that my writings are great, and have never spent any time researching the topic. May be the previous statement is an exaggeration. My writings can hardly be called as writings and the topic of those, well lets not go into it. The truth is, it would be hard for me to read what I have written the very next day after writing it.
Well, then why is this so much of hungama about me writing.
For one, its a powerful medium. That is for sure. And I had experienced it. The impression a book or a well written article leaves on you is much profound then a movie or any kind of advice that people leave on you.
But more then that what can one who is dwelling in a city, staying single do to kill time. Well my profession has been a good companion. It used to occupy 18 to 20 hours of my time when I started off. Yeah this is true. Not that the job demands that much of time, its the time I had put in to equip myself to get a job. Then this came down to about 15 to 18 hours on an average after getting the job. For the past couple of years this has reduced greatly. Now it stays at about 10 to 12 hours a day. And another 2 to 3 hours for the commute. Yes. I spend a good 2 to 3 hours travelling to and from office.
The point is not how much time I spend in office and travelling back & forth. That part which covers 7am to 7pm typically is taken care of. The point is what do you do at times other then this time. Yes that 7pm to 11pm time-frame. Well sit before the television and see that... well forget it. I don't remember anything that I had seen on television in the last one week. And when you are dead sick of watching television, you think about writing something.
Yes. That something is what I am doing now. Exactly that. Write something. Something even if nobody reads it. I wish nobody reads this. Not that there is anything secret in this writing. Just that a few useful minutes would be wasted in reading this. Well I am going back to the top and adding a disclaimer not to read this.
If you have read till this point, my sincere apologies. I am trying hard to come up with a topic or a story to write. Hope this would not take another year and should come soon. And I beg you check my blog again after few days to read it, for you are special in that you are the only reader of my blog.
Signing off for now... Sincerely.
