Unlike before, I don't have the same enthusiasm to express myself, but I must say, I am dying to get a lengthy time block where I can pick a book & lose myself in a different world.
It's not like I don't have things to write about. In fact, I have too many than I had before. The difference is that, I feel like I could do things which are more urgent & important than writing something for the sake of writing. Secondly, I feel like previously I had the luxury to look at my own life, the world & form a point of view which ultimately I used to translate into writing.
As a matter of fact, now I am immersed in the mundane events of my life, so deeply that it's hard to look at it & form a point of view of any sort. On the other hand, things are quite different when it comes to READING.
I have never been so hungry to read. May be part of the reason is that, these days I don't read on a daily basis, like I used to read before. That same old reading-appetite is there, but there is rarely any time to read. Apart from work, the time is so scattered in tiny blocks that it doesn't make sense to open a book & be there for 2 to 3 hours.
In the coming June I am planning a trip to Pondicherry. The main reason of my visit is to visit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram near White Town. While as a complementary activity, as you can guess, I hope I could finish atleast one Novel while roaming along the sea line. It could mark a moment to rekindle the love I always had towards spending quality time reading & trekking along a cerebral adventure.
Lastly, to those readers checking on this post, please keep reading, one book after another. I am cheering for you & I want you to enjoy every single seconds you are spending with books. Knowingly or unknowingly, we are becoming a part of this growing community of bibliophiles in India. Cheers to you, my dear readers.
