A different perspective.
This morning when I opened Bangalore Mirror , I found myself looking at my own picture. A little later, a reader tweeted to me a link to Deccan Chronicle and the publishers of two of my titles, told me that the piece was in Asian Age as well.
While I had spoken to both newspapers (To Deccan Chronicle many days back and I had forgotten about it and to Bangalore Mirror last evening) I did not think both would appear on the same day.
Whenever the newspapers carry a piece about me or my books, I always tell my mom. Today was no different. My mom was more interested in telling me about the rains in Kerala though. She talked about how the rains had lashed her village last evening and how there was no power through out the night. We inhabit two different worlds. In her world, what is important is not in mine.
I like the stark contrasts. It gives me completely different perspectives.
And makes me focus on what really matters---my writing.
Personally I think that my next book is my best yet. I think which each book, one hones the skill and gets better.
I can't wait to hold the physical copy in my hand. Less than a month to go now.
I am waiting.
I wonder if you are too.
