Miscellaneous!!

It’s been long since I posted a real post in my blog. I am enjoying more of other people’s blog these days. We always pick up the easier of things I suppose, so I am more into reading rather than writing in my blog. However, when I re-read my last posts I realized that I am disappointing the readers coming here. Just one post in last fifteen days and that too for the photo- contest. Though the readers have been thoughtful enough to comment but yes there was not much to read or to praise.
So here is an update of where I was busy. I went on a short 3 day trip to Dehradun. It was not exactly a vacation trip; it was more of a visit to my husband’s sister’s place. Nothing special just went there to meet them. It was real boring for me being formal and pretending to be an organized disciplined person. The formal no talk food sessions. At one stage my mouth ached cos I didn’t get to speak much. Hubby dear mostly vanished with his nephew and poor me was stuck at home with his niece. We went to Musoorie too. After that trip, I enjoyed sometime with my sisters and niece who were here for their long weekend.
Again these weeks were more of the reading weeks as compared to TV watching. I read Colter’s Wife by Joan Johnston and The Last Jury by John Grisham. Don’t worry, I am not starting with another of my weird review write-ups cos I wasn’t much impressed by these novels. I also started with one of Sidney Sheildon’s novel and halfway through, I realized that I had already read the novel. This happens with me all the time when I pick Sheldon or Danielle Steele. This has happened with me earlier also. To avoid this, in the past I maintained a diary where I penned down a brief of all the novels that I have read. Like all other things, I followed this practice for a short time. I am seriously thinking to start it all again cos it is quite irritating to realize that we have already read a novel when you are half way through.
This was all that I did in last few days. Let me now tell you what I am planning for my coming days. Obviously a lot more writing than reading, so be prepared to read some more crappy posts from me. I seriously want to give an attempt to write 55 – fiction story which I love reading. I really get impressed with the people who are into this fiction. God knows when I will be doing that but surely pretty soon. Additionally, some serious stuff too which are in my mind but giving them the shape of a post is going to take some time. And yes you cannot escape from my book review. Soon I will be posting a book review that I read long time back and was delighted to see it turned into a movie with the same title.

You didn't like Last Jury ? I heard it's good, yet to read it. I have this.
For books, I maintain an excel sheet.

Since I keep buying books and sometimes I forget that I have already bought such & such book, it helps me. I have cols for .. which books I own, to buy, to read alongwith their author name, small review et al. And many other things get noted there. It really helps when I am going to Delhi to buy hordes of books again !

And writing fiction ??? Not my genre. I admire how ppl write fictions, I can not. Every single post on my blog has come thru some real incident. :-)

Looking forward to more posts here.
