Bookworm

Hi.. I am a new Writer, Starting today only.

When I was a teenager, I used to be a great Bookworm, spending about 90% of my free time reading books, mostly fiction as it took me to another world and I was loving it. But now, few years and one marriage later, I actually lost it, No stamina to sit and read for more than fifteen minutes. I became one of those, love-to-buy-books-and-never-read types. I even prefer to watch TV or Sleep rather than read the book I got myself with so much love and excitement. Somewhere inside I always know that this lazy bastard is not me... ever. So with plans to kill this lazy bastard, and resurrect the real me who loves to read and write. I am starting this blog.

To share with you, I recently researched the great epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana  (on Wikipedia). I am amazed to note the detail and precision in these stories, how all the curses and vows were planned and executed. I wonder if any of today's writers can write anything this great. Not that I have not seen both epics on TV, but I was only seven or Eight years old, all I remembered were the cool camera effects used to show the war with Magical Arrows.

Anyways, I request those who can, to please give me some tips, as how can I bring the writer inside me out.

Yours sincerely,

Saurabh
