Today, all of a sudden I decided to start writing blogs. It took a long time to have all the pieces in their places. Now I can start as I have a vision and motive for writing it. As the English man in the book "Alchemist" laments and determines "I should have started purifying the lead long before... time is there... at least I can start now..."
Let me be clear. I will write only about the books that I get a chance to read. Something like a review. It would purely contain my own notions and perceptions about that book. If it can be helpful to others, I would be very delighted.
I just want to introduce myself as this introduction may help others give an idea about the type of books that I usually read. I am a Keralite. A Malayali. And I prefer to read the literary works of Malayalam writers mostly. I believe that if somebody wants to grab and absorb a work in its complete essence, it should be read in the language in which it is written and that language should be well known to the reader. I also had many opportunities to read various other language books which were translated to English and Malayalam. In those, some translations were comparatively good and others made me weep.
I always find pleasure in reading books written by the writers who actually plays with our mind. So whatever I write here would be the outcome of those mental orientations just after reading such a book. I also like to travel a lot hence I prefer to read the travelogues also.
I believe the above introduction is enough for now. We have a great time ahead to get properly acquainted with. So long guys...
