somebody asked me...
why did you step into writing....
hmmm... good question :) well I have not stepped in recently... I already did that when I started learning Standing lines and sleeping lines in nursery and if the question relates to start expressing in words... that I started in junior school when we began story telling and comprehension...
interestingly A walk down the lane is a debut in story telling publicly :)
guess what i loved reading... I read almost all the love stories that we had at our school's library...
I read when I traveled by train... whether Sleeper or AC-first... Rajdahni or a passenger hardly mattered...
I read while I boarded the flights... whether they were Deccans, Kingfishers, Jets or even Indigos... naming the aviation service providers doesn't implicate that I want to state that I have taken the services from all... fortunately or unfortunately... it simply means that whether the flights were comfortable or not... I read... when actually I saw co-passengers complaining, cribbing and and sometimes sleeping or may be pretending to sleep and chanting the Hanuman Chalisa within...
I even read sitting inside the cabs from College Street to Park Street, Hyatt to Kakurgachi, Mathura road to Noida, and even Juhu to Malad...
That was fun...
I remember teaching the Inter school (junior college) kids... 'The Guide' and "Arms and the men"
But of all these fun filled experiences... I enjoyed writing 'A Walk' the most :) firstly because I could pen down those 32000 words... and secondly for I could put them in an easy language(as far as I know) strongly wanted to do so so that the small town people like me could understand without asking the oxford :)
please keep pouring your questions i'll be glad to answer :)
