I am a lower order batsman myself, the persevering kind, who stays on the crease :)<BR/><BR/>I love your notes too even though I don't comment always. Melancholy thoughts about nights, the moon and coffee et.al. Keep them coming. <BR/><BR/>The idea of blogging is to take it not so seriously that it becomes a stress, it should just be a part of your normal routine if not daily then once in a while. That's how I have continued to do so myself. Another thing I have observed with blogging is that it has made my reading a little more disciplined. Otherwise you sometimes get disheartened because you don't have anybody to talk about your thoughts about the book or film you have seen... in this case it is internet even if nobody reads it... you just put it there for everybody to see.<BR/><BR/>anyway, best wishes for the blog and hope you continue to write like this.Alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947383354732747209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33019812.post-42301687362878318772007-10-23T00:27:00.000+01:002007-10-23T00:27:00.000+01:00thats a nice compliment - but i am also all the ti...thats a nice compliment - but i am also all the time hesitating whether i should stay or go. I always like to come here and see what interesting books you have read and the nice thing of this is you read differetn books than me so i always find inspiration. nd i also do like your Notes, and i remember the one about coffee which was a nice one, you have an ability for combining observations with reflection of whom one never can be sure whether they are induced by books you have read, the observations you make or some melancholy. likely it is all three, but it does nto matter for it reads so well. <BR/>but i dont mind being shrill and opinionated and prejudiced - all these things are ok and perfectly human as long as one takes oneself not so serious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
