Upade

I do not enjoy reading books very much. I would have read lest number of books as compared to others in general. My thinking is that if you read a book then you think in direction of writer's mind. Your mind gets biased. By reading a book may help you in a certain way say..to acquire some knowledge about some topics. It may even give you some insight. But this is not may cup of tea. Now the question arise then why do  I want to write a book. Well i said i don't like to read a book much I didnt say that i dont like it to write :) Basically what i meant is I am extremely selective in reading book. So selective that I almost don't ready any books. Somehow I think that by reading books your mind doesn't think naturally. Your become imitators. You imitate writer. In fact eveyelse in this world is a kind of imitator with a mask on his/her face.

Yes have thought the title of the book. Will be revealed after launch. Have almost no intension to make it best sellers or something like that. Because I know I just cant afford to do that. As you know if you want to write a book that sells well then just funda doesnt work. It needs masala. A book with funda + masala will sell good. I have funda. Infact i have no dearth of funda. Can write Ramanyan out of just funda. But I lack on   masala. Have also segregated the chapers. Just need right amount of masala to add it. if you can give me any insight on adding masala would be of great help. There are lots of books that are soleley on funda. I have no intention to re-write aristotle/plato or any such things. All my intention is that I want people to understand life and the world. You have a life but you live in a world governed by other people. According to me people doesn't understand. And there are other class of people who think that they understand but they don't understand in reality. They are in greater peril. Will reveal some of my understanding of life in that book ofcourse with masala part too.


Pls ignore the typos.

i'm back!

I am back again.

No blogging form 11 months. That's quite long. I must keep this space alive for whatever small purpose it has. Was busy growing my little kid...he is 1 year 2 months now. But this is not an excuse for not writing posts here. At many instances I just wanted to scribble here, but didn't have much to do so.

Growing kid with good human values is always a challenge. Kids are the future. Society has big responsibility to grow kids with good value so that they can support the nation in the future. I am scared with kind of education they impart on kids in school. Too much of discipline is also not good. Whenever a society becomes weak, it becomes disciplined. I don't want to enforce my kid to be topper or genius in the school, if it doesn't happen naturally. Neither want school/teacher to do so.

These days have been watching Chandraguta Maurya at ndtv imagine. Chanakya was really a great person. He had a purpose in the life that was of great value socially. Now if someone ask - what should be the purpose of life? According to me, life at it's natural, doesn't need any purpose. The life itself is sufficient to fulfill all its purposes. But this will be too theoretically or rather impractical answer as we live in an practical world. So to get the life going in a practical sense it should have a purpose. And if it all it has to have a purpose it should be great. But again, this greatness of purposes can be highly directive. Whoever has created history in human civilization must had a purpose. They had a purpose in life. A big purpose. And they worked very hard for that purpose. They lived for that purpose. Be it Alexander, Napoleon, Chandragupta Maurya or whoever you name it. And I think our education system doesn't teach to have great purpose in life.
