I am not a writer, I just write  

Posted by Saumitra

To my million fans, I am sorry. I meant to write earlier but things kept coming up and it got delayed till the point where there was nothing to write at all. Not that there is anything great to put down now.

I have realized one thing though, I am not good at this. This writing business. Heck I shake at the thought of even writing a formal letter which is not more than two lines. I keep trying to not sound too rude, or too angry or too "anything that I've been lately"...

Some people are gifted and some achieve that gift from hard penance. I am neither gifted, nor intend to pursue any sort of .... thing.... to be called a good writer. Hence the title "I am not a writer, I just write".

But why did I write so much about writing? Well a friend pointed to me lately that I should take up writing small reviews and stuff. Not harangue or boring pages full of bull-shit but small things like hotel-reviews, movies, games, gadgets etc. hah..

"You really think I should do this?"

"Why not? I don't want hi-fi writing. I just want something that people can understand."

Let me tell you, this was few months back and thats when I stopped writing and started thinking.

'Can I actually do this?' And look this, I am writing almost after three months. The point is if I had to do something good as a profession I would not do it. I'd rather leave that to the professionals. As far as my profession is concerned, well as you know by now, and judging from what I have written till now, I have plenty of time on my hands to do.... well, nothing.

By the way, a very Happy New Year to all you readers and non-readers alike.
