Its been quite a long journey pursuing my BTech Degree at VJTI, Mumbai with studies occupying most of my time. It could get quiet boring for someone like me who is so fussy at many things. The reason to have this post is not to describe my 4 year life on campus but to restart my hobby of writing here which began way back in school with essays, letters & drafts as part of English assignments. Reading is one thing which I have been disliking since childhood associating it with typical geeks sporting glasses immersed into a book. Reading almost half of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer was sort of a Houdini Act for me, who hardly gets past two pages of a novel. Its not always the author at fault who cannot keep me interested but my lack of patience. Non-Fiction & Management books are better off for me than fantasies, even murder mysteries excite me but I m yet to embark on my journey to read books & keep up with it. My stint with Suketu Mehta's "Maximum City - Bombay Lost & Found" was very delightful in reigniting my interest in reading. My sister knowing my love-hate relationship with books introduced that book to me while I was for a month just when I had newly joined Kalpataru Power in Santacruz in July 2009 & my parents were having a vacation in Munnar, Kerala after almost 8 years. Unlilke my usual self, I could not stop myself from keeping the book down even after getting past more than 30 pages until it clocked 10 pm & I had to hit the sack for the day.
