The reason I have decided to write a blog is a little complicated.
It all started from the time I wrote my first debate piece in class V on the subject of- wait for it- MORAL VALUES. You read it right. Our perfectly healthy education system had 12 year olds rattle three minutes long speeches on ‘moral values’. Well the debatable nature of that debate aside, I did realize that there was only one thing I loved more than chocolate mint ice cream, it was writing. The reason I talk about my love for writing before reading is simply because I discovered it before I found out the joys of reading. On a comparative scale of enjoyment, however, reading wins hands down. Allow me to draw a parallel; writing and reading are as different as baking a cake and eating one. Both are rewarding experiences and are completely symbiotic, however it’s more fun to just to eat a cake.
Anyway, I digress. Coming back to the totally irrelevant story of this blog, the idea really, is create a platform for all readers/TV & film enthusiasts/Travellers, who like to devour and experience well- marketed and commercially successful books/TV shows/Travel destinations. It’s mostly to bring together the lovers of everything that’s popular and create a fruitful dialog and discussions on the things that spark the interest of millions.
Okay that sounds a bit too ambitious/pretentious.
The real reason for the blog is to let me remember the books that I have read/shows that I watched/places that I travelled. Yes I am afraid I am currently suffering from a rare disease of ‘Can’t-frigging-remember-the-things-I-do’ syndrome. Unfortunately no one has a created a social campaign to contribute to its treatment, but I am sure your love and engagement on the blog will help.
So now that you have fully digested in some scrambles, the thoughts of the writer, keep sharing bouquets and brickbats.
Love,
Me
