Writing has always fascinated me in life, to the point that even at times i have put my relationships at stake.Writing has made me traverse beyond boundaries within myself, made me explore the darker side of human relationships. Writing has been more than just an accumulation of thoughts, more than the representation of the textual language through the signs, symbols and alphabets.
But wait a second, why the hell am i talking about writing on my comeback post? I am sure some of you are eager to have all the explanations of why i left blogging and why this sudden change of mind in start writing again. ok ok, alright. Before you start hitting your monitors, let me get straight into the act..... or wait, what's the hurry?... let's test your patience a bit....
So let's rewind in past, and see what have changed in my life in these last 4 months....Well for starters, my hot Canadian flatmate left in Jan after completing her exchange program (Alas! wish she exchanged atleast a ring with me :P). I am 14 subjects old in my MBA and starting with my finance electives in the coming semester. I became mamu of the most adorable niece on 10 Dec which incidentally coincided with my sister's 4th wedding anniversary. I got sloshed and almost beaten up by cops on the new year's eve and worse -I am still single and ready to mingle.
But all this quotidian activities didn't took the focus away from my writing. You see, it was always difficult for me to get noticed with my writings anywhere, and more so in this blogging world. I constantly wrote on one topic, gave monotonously long stories and ranting sessions, never wrote on the walls of any lounge, never paid heed to any sucking advertisers, never wrote or invited guest posts on the blog or worse - i was not even a female with a hot display profile pic who can grab attention without any fuss.
Hence, writing became an obsession for a person who wanted to get away with the crappy machinations associated with this space. Writing about relationships became a passion for a person always been accused of being either too mature or too kiddish in his thoughts.Writing became a burning desire for a guy who can't really write a simple straight love story, forget anything else. Or worse - writing took such momentous proportions that you will be now bombarded with not just blog posts, but more of my writings in another form.
Yes, after months of continuous keyboard tapping, after going through enormously draining brainstorming sessions to knuckle up my small brain cells, after undergoing catastrophic time at editing and rewriting, I am all ready with my first book - a fictional novel !!

@ Gargi
You won’t stop writing such long comments na. In any case, I missed replying to them: D
In the bed, on the phone, late in coming…Gosh, don’t give me subtle hints, my imagination works a little too much these days: P
Thanks for all those nice words and compliments, I didn’t know you missed the readings so much. But yes, it’s been really hard time managing both the things – studies and writing. But I guess, if you are passionate about something, things just fall into place automatically.
Happy V-Day to you too, and thanks once again for all the wishes.
Love,
Amit
Amit, it's GREAT to have you back!
Just write on!
ah !! thats awesome !! some inspiration for me ..:) ..i have to finish my novel soooon ...

i have sparkles in my eyes!
You are back!!! Its great to have you back really!!! Hey, can i just give u a suggestion if you dont mind. I like the new header but yellow and brown are too out there. I actually had a difficulty in reading with such bright yellow. Sorry but that what i felt. Being frank is good thing na :P.
Oh! Come back on a V-day Awesome!!! And coming back saying about book even more awesome!!
@ Mohita

Love,
Amit
@ Harini
Thanks for all the wishes and Happy V day to you too.
As far as colour goes, well blogger don't provide a lighter version of yellow, so i need to search online to find the hex code for lighter yellow. Also, i think to go with the feel of the header, it body should have orange as background colour. I can't put any darker colour, it would look really weird. I think yellow is alright as lighter contrast to orange, though a lighter version of yellow would be preferred. Thanks for the suggestion, i would see what i can do about it.
Cheers,
Amit
Great to see you back :)
And now waiting for the author signed copy of the book :-) when is it releasing?
