"A Curtain Raiser"... Exclusive Pre-release Edition...!!!

-: The Beginning :-

You must have heard stories about how people accidentally start doing some weird things. I mean things such as start painting, start cooking, start telling truth to wife, start appreciating mother-in-law or boss, start loving Rakhi Sawant, start liking Emran Hashmi’s  acting etc.

One such weird thing happened to me, I started writing. I still remember, those were the happy days (read – ‘I was still a bachelor’). It was an evening, I was coming home from office, in a crowded local train. While reading a news paper, all of a sudden, my mind and heart started playing with few words. I added few more words of my own and…. Kaboom! I had just thought of my first hindi shayari.

(Warning – Don’t you dare to ask who was the inspiration behind that first shayari. Remember, my wife reads my blog)

I wanted to note it down somewhere before I forget. I searched for a piece of paper in my pockets, couldn’t find any. At last, I wrote my first shayari on a newspaper, and since them I am writing (but not on news paper anymore).

I diagnosed myself with this new founds disease, “Writeria”. This disease took me through many stages, every time adding something new.  Next stage after shayari was writing Marathi charoli (charoli is a poem of 4 lines, in simple words, it is Marathi shayari). Then came the stage of writing Marathi poems. In current stage I am writing short stories.

Next stage could be writing……… well, would let you know very soon.

-: The Build-up :-

Few months after I got into writing, I began sharing my write ups within a closed group of few friends (do not read – ‘to impress girls’. Reference – ‘My wife reads my blog’).  Friends started appreciating, giving feedback on my write ups. They even played role of good critics.

Gradually the closed group started expanding. Friends started asking what is new you have written, send us, we are waiting. This encouraged me to try something new, write more (Now you know whom to blame if you do not like my writing).

-:Why this Blog:-

I tried to be consistent, by regularly writing something new and sharing it within my group of friends. One of my good friend suggested I should start blogging with my writing stuff. (Note – do not read too much in between ‘good friend’. Reference – ‘My wife reads….’). I was least interested.

Then same suggestion came from few more friends. At last, after continuous effort for almost a year, I got convinced and decided to blog. (Again, you know whom to blame to this blog).

-: Credits :-

The entire credit for this blog goes to all my friends who encouraged me, supported me, and helped me. The contribution from them came in a way of feedback, suggestions, appreciation, criticism for my writing. Also few Friends assisted to configure this blog, trained me how to post on blog and so on.

I would take this opportunity to thank all those contributors. I would mention their names on this blog very soon. Thank You Friends! You made this possible. I dedicate this blog to you all!

I would also thank my wife (I have to. Smart readers must have got the ‘reference’ by now).

-:Whats Next :-

 On Friday I am launching my blog, with my first post. Life is full of surprises…. and shocks. With my first post, lets see whether you get surprised or shocked.

To start with, I am posting one of my short story. This is very dear to me. The story is about me and my date. This date is someone very special, you would never ever expect such a beautiful date. The story has few unusual shades, and fanatical climax. The title of the story is……. aah aah… I think title reveals it all. So I would not tell you the title.

Find out who is my date… on Friday… in my first ever official post… on my own blog!

Feel free to post your comments, sometimes it is good to praise someone with your lies.

Your honest feedback, suggestions would help me to improve my writing.

Circulate this blog amongst your friends, let them suffer too!

See you on Friday...!!!
