Reading...

So to my next passion..reading...I inherited this I believe.My father used to read a lot and so ther was no shortage for books .He definitely encouraged me to read a lot.He wanted me to buy good books and read.So the initial encouragement was there.My mother is not that passionate about reading.But she and my achchamma(father's mother) used to say that they found it very difficult to make me sleep.I always had soome book during the night time .The passion was within me untill I went to college.

In college I changed from a person who had a small circle of frns to a class leader,an association secretary,quintessence(annual tech pgm in our college) convener...all in one...
The transformation was very drastic and I forgot and lost many of the good(perhaps bad also) qualities I had.Reading was just one of them....I have a lot to speak on my experiences abt being a leader.Tht I shall do later.Now I want to concentrate on my reading more...

Bangalore provided me with more time than I got at TVM.To be frank I also liked the work atmosphere and the people there more.So wat to do durin the free time?Ofcourse my cousin would take me to anywher I want.But I want to find some other means.He was workin in the same field as I am.So we often discussed a lot on tht.He gave me some books on graphics.And I started readin it..but he immediately understood tht i was not concentratin on it.One day durin one of our outings he took me to Landmark in The Forum in Bangalore,a very large book stall..He told me "go and pick a suitable book..dont worry abt the cost..i shall get u another book 4 u" ..So I got two books.....The one he chose was a superb one...I began to read tht with lots of interest...

And I brought back my good old habit to me...I used to read untill 12 pm/1 am...and i began to grasp a lot of things which i felt i missed while readin in th past...Now i am readin..even at tvm:)
Yesterday I slept at 3 am..Sleep is not an hindrance for me and has never been unless it is for readin academic stuffs.:) I am planning to continue like this...This habit has given me a lots of ideas abt frnship,relationship,various outlooks etc which I shld hve understood earlier..but better late than never..

Well I didnt read much b/w 7pm and 10 pm...tht was because another passion ...cricket..took those hours..........Abt tht in the next post:)
