To all of you who came here the last few months and drew a blank. My apologies. Blame it on publishing!
When I published a book, I crossed some faint invisible line in my head. I stopped being just a Reader who could devour the printed word and pronounce a judgement. or rather, go on the journey of reading and then talk of it with the same innocence that I could earlier. Some thing had changed. The way I looked at books had changed so had the way I now read them. I also found my self strangely inhibited trying to record my experience and hence this dry spell on this blog.
Now,I have resolved many things. I discovered my joy of reading was undiminished, my experience of reading enriched. I may have become more sympathetic towards the writer in some ways but I have become more demanding in others. i also feel that I have now regained the language to describe my encounter with books and that has brought me back.
if you are back and reading this, thank you for the support. Coming up soon, a journey with a really wonderful, recent read.
Warmth
