Good Earth!!

I am not a 'voracious' reader but yes sometimes i dare to start with some of the great novels... even though they are interesting but i make it a point that i dont complete them in less than 6 months :)... So this is one of those unfortunate novels i started to read --> "Good Earth".. and Yes, Yes i read it completely, so what if it took me more than 8 months... Dont take it wrong but mark my words, this shows my greatness of finding a 'struggle' even in a cinch!!!

You will get to know more about my great qualities with time, but this time i want to write a few lines appreciating the novel.

'Good Earth' by 'Pearl S Buck', which starts with the story of a Chinese farmer and ends on it, doesnt give you a story which you havent heard of as we keep hearing about struggles of many great or normal people. But still, it keeps you engrossed through out... Its the simplicity of writing that you feel connected with the characters from the start till the end. The writer bounds you to get a feel of an authentic struggle story by not giving any heroic touch to any of the characters,just a very ordinary farmer who with the help of luck, his wife and his simple and strong thinking grows from No One to The One.

The story travelling from the youth of the farmer to his deathbed, has many characters, and each character is as strong as needed. Their behaviour perfectly depicted. Sometimes i wonder how these writers imagine and dive into so many character's mindsets.

This novel also made me introspect my ideas of success and unfortunately i found that none of them are so simple and strong as Wang Lung - The Farmer!
Do read it!!

Did you say Gyming?? See I cant coz....

Dude A --> My Apartment doesnt have a gym..(Dude who told you to take such an apartment?? No gyms around??)
Dude B --> I have kids, they need to get ready by 7:30...(Then what about 8 to 9 dude??)
Dude C --> I am married... and you know its such a responsibility that you dont get time for anything (Dude, I bet you are not doing any of these - Cooking/Grooming/Cleaning.... The only thing you would be doing is hogging on the good home made food)
Dude D --> I have done a lot of gym but see not a single cm tummy reduced.. (This is the dude who likes 'tasting' 2 Chicken momos before gym and 2 after that)
Dude E --> You have an inspiration.. you have a girlfriend/wife.. (ah!! thats a good point dude!! I suppose you never planning to have??)
Dude F --> you know rite, when i did, i did it with dedication.. (Hmmm... thats true dude.. so you proved your point that you can do things with dedication, rite??)
Dude G --> its not a big thing.. it can be reduced in a month.. (but i wonder whether that month will come in this life time!!!)
And the list goes on :) ... will add more with time....

Toddler Of Yore

So here i come, a learner in writing who has always been a learner... always toddling in writing even few lines!! But then i couldnt suppress anymore my desire to write, so created this blog.
Even when i am a toddler in writing, i am clever enough to take all the precautions.. thats why i chose to make it an anonymous blog choosing the url that a normal person cant think of hitting!!! Ofcourse for abnormals.. i dont care :)..
I am not sure when the time would come when i would be able to garnish my writing that even normals can bear.
I feel sorry for HER, that living with me she will have to bear this one more added obnoxiousness of mine.. coz she is the only one who is allowed and forced to read all the posts from now on....(coz no one else would like to :P)
To HER ---> Good Luck!!!
