For the longest time imaginable, I have harboured the desire to author a book \u2026 someday.\u00a0 Last weekend, chatting with a friend, I happened to mention this dream of mine, lamenting about the fact that I have never been able to take time out to find a publisher and start a book. To my surprise, she immediately offered to take it up as a project!<\/p>\n
This was uncharted territory for me.\u00a0 Her next question was : “What kind of book do you want to write?”\u00a0 Well, I hadn\u2019t thought about it, until now.\u00a0 I really hadn\u2019t.\u00a0 Sure, I\u2019d made a serious effort to keep blogging – in part, to improve my writing skills for that famous “book” I would publish some day.\u00a0 But, I hadn\u2019t really given a thought to what kind <\/em>of book would I want to write, if I had the means to do so.<\/p>\n So, for the past week or so, I have been juggling with this question, trying to find the most appropriate answer possible.\u00a0 I could write about Technology or Business or Fatherhood or Life, in general – just the sort of stuff I blog about\u2026 Or, I could write about some of my experiences from my travels – a travelogue of sorts\u2026\u00a0 Then again, I always wanted to be a photographer.\u00a0 Should I attempt a coffee-table book full of photographs instead?\u00a0 Not much writing in that, is there?<\/p>\n Nothing definitive has emerged so far.\u00a0 I even went a bought myself a book – a writer\u2019s journal –\u00a0in an attempt to understand what makes a writer, a writer.\u00a0 It\u2019s an entertaining piece of work, and one that I am enjoying every bit of.\u00a0 But, I\u2019m still looking for the answer to my question\u2026<\/p>\n Will let you know when I know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the longest time imaginable, I have harboured the desire to author a book … someday.
