I am raining words

I have heard of people who have a deficiency with their words. May be I am on the pole opposite to theirs. I always find it very hard to say things with fewer words.

Sometimes, I think of short stories to write. But when I actually do start to write, the words consume pages and I end up using at least three times the space I had planned to. The next time I start to write something, I will think of a word limit and then start to write it up.

Yes. This does remind me of my English Board Exams :)

What this means is that, I find it so very hard to tweet. What is it with the 140 characters limit?
OK. Time to practice and wrap this entry up.

BYE!!!

Up And Running

Hooray Hoo!!

I have resumed reading after quite a long time.
Ever since I bought myself a thirty-seven thousand-rupee luxury called a laptop, my reading days have been stalled. Quite a lot of my time went to AVIs and VOBs. The remainder of the time was loaned out to EA Sports Cricket. Any meager time that had escaped the above two went for google and cricinfo.

With so many of my friends competing for my time and attention, I guess I would have to be forgiven for reading and writing less. Once the reality of my dwindling reading hit me, I even fell back to such demeaning books like Prison Diary, for lack of any unread books in my possession. So when I finally latched on to Ponniyin Selvan, man what relief to read some good book again.

As I would like to believe, reading is not my hobby, it is an obsession.
And it feels great to be back.
