Reading

I was never so much into reading.I have developed that habit over last few years.
I have observed that in last two years i have barely read fiction.
Since reading came in my life quite later as a habit, my fiction reading period was also short.Then there was a time when i used to read two books at a time,a strict combination of fiction and non-fiction.Now i am only invited by Non-fiction books.It has become easy reading for me.I will probably have to take efforts to read a classic.

One thing i like about non-fiction reading(i read biographies of businessmen) is that its a nice way of learning through others' experiences.An autobiography is a way of living through one's experiences,which is any day more exciting than reading some story which is part truth part imagination.Without further justifying my choice of NOT reading fiction,i will get to the point.I am trying to bring some variety in my reading.So this next month i shall read all kind of books,fiction,...non fiction...classic..contemporary.all colours and shades!!

I showed a letter to four people today.As a part of formality they were needed to read it.I was surprised to see how much time each of them took to actually read it.In one of the cases i started counting from 100 backwards to kill time!!
If people at managerial posts take so long to read a piece of information,i wonder how they manage to do other tasks??Its a good way to test a manager i think.

Write for your sake!

Write something today,for its the way of connecting your thoughts.Thinking is a gift,when you put it down in your own words on a paper;it becomes a religion.

I am not a supporter of religion nor do i oppose it.But i do know that writing down your feelings help.Specially in two cases:
1.When you are aware of something that is in your mind.
2.When you dont know what is in your mind.

The third case where you are in between knowing and doing;trust your mind.So getting back to what i said earlier,putting down thoughts in words is becoming sure/rigid of your ideas,thats how most of the religions came into being.Quoting your thoughts is not a sign of conservatism.Its being true to yourself.

I have gone back to my older posts/diaries and found thoughts there which i will most disagree to today.But i dont regret having written them.Its just shows that i have been open to changes in my thought and attitudes as i grew up.

Write something you felt about yourself,about your loved ones.Write it daily.

Someone commented after going through my blog that i was putting out a part of myself through these posts.Wasnt i becoming vulnerable?I wonder how,keeping your feelings hidden is a sign of vulnerability.There is nothing weak or vulnerable about expressiong yourslf,your love,showing affection.Love is an ability and not a choice.You learn from your mistakes.You accept them and they are no longer mistakes.I have made terrible mistakes and i have moved out of them..and i am still trying.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
hmmm...ya it makes me wonder!
