This is my first blog entry in Xanga!

Inspired by the words of my pal Altaf, I feel that it’s nothing less than my duty to pen down the experiences of  an aspiring chanteuse-cum-writer and share them with the world.

Today is one of those not-so-effective days at work when quantity takes precedence over quality and when that happens it angers me no end…but what can I do, a mere pawn in a big bad world mired by the conniving hands of commerce…sigh!

Currently, all I want to do is indulge in a spot of creating writing…something I haven’t done in a long time…a book, a poem, an essay…!

Hari Kunzru’s ‘Transmission’ is proving to be a worthwhile read. I like his choice of words, which felicitously translate mere sentences into visual delights. He’s now on my list of favourits authors which also feature Somerset Moughm, VS Naipaul, Tom Tobbins, Shashi Tharoor, Boris Pasternak, DH Laurence and Jane Austen to name a few.

I would like to write more…but the call of duty beckons. Sigh!

    Hey sweets,

    Wow, you have done a great job. Now I must help you shift your other writings to this blog. Paste one entry per day from that blog. That way you won’t have much to write right now. We can sit together one day and help your blog look snazzy and tres haute!

    Till then you keep writing ..Xanga is real fun !
    Gives one a lot of scope to do a lot of things!
