........@mi dEcRyPTED..............: Preface Of My Novel : Well, I Think..........

WELCOME......!!!!!!

Well, for the first timers, this is a welcome message and for older ones, a request. I am living a dream right now. A dream to be a 'humble' writer. And so, you will see a preface in one of the posts on this blog. Having completed the book in my mind (in my dream), I am just living the moment when my book is in each one of your hands. It will genuinely be helpful if you can leave your comments on all the posts that you have read. It will make me write better. Sometimes, we might be too lazy to do it. For them, there is an option of just checking the boxes at the end of the post. So please do provide me with the honest comments of yours. Hope you have a good time.......

Preface Of My Novel : Well, I Think..........

Until the year 2011, I have always been any other guy who was interested in reading a lot of novels. With the Famous Fives and Secret Sevens in the beginning, Hardy Boys and The Harry Potters at the secondary level and Dan Brown’s at the senior secondary level, I should say I loved every author at that age. I fell in love with RK Narayan’s classical literature in the mean time. They had an additional quality of being an all time, all age readability. The English Teacher and The Guide were two exceptionally good books among others that inspired me. All that I would do was, just sit back and appreciate their work.

I happened to come across the Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’ and Tushar Raheja’s ‘Anything for You Ma’am’. And I read it in my prime youth and was just taken aback by the beauty of simple writing yet being extremely interesting. This inspired me to actually think of writing a novel someday, or at least dream of it. I have made my earnest attempt in writing something that would probably connect with a lot of us. By the end of the process of writing such a book, we develop a sense of detachment towards its success. (Or at least that’s what Sharukh Khan says before his movie release….) The reasons for this has got nothing do with spirituality but everything to do with the inability to predict the audience. So, I leave it to you to either keep me in the business or go on with something else in life. My publisher has already given me my first check though…..

Note to all publishers and copyright owners: I have taken the liberty of using a lot of names and the novels in my introductory page. I really don’t know how many of them are copyright protected or anything close to that. Since I have not much clue on what could be protected and what not, please spare me for this page. I was just trying to be modest. Despite all this, for people who are obsessed with suing me, please file your application in the High court of Karnataka. Genuinely, I can’t travel thousands of miles to be screwed by some lawyer for copyright law enforcement.
