Airing my Thoughts!

Now, you guys may be wondering whether I have no other business other than blogging all the day, especially on the day i start blogging. No, its not as u think. I do not want to fill my blog with crap.
Its just.. airing my thoughts..

Well, my thoughts.. They are spread, vast and deep.. sometimes stupid fantasy, sometimes bare realities of life.. and I do speculate that almost all, who ever spend some time, thinking- of life, of pain, of love, of existance, have gone through the same stages in their lives..

So, today I'm going to tell u about my taste in reading.. its not just "taste".. Its some feeling i cant explain.. its a quasi state of eternal bliss.. like walking on a thin line over the Niagra.. Falling from a cliff.. its something so addictive, so adventurous, you cant escape it!.. well, i'll never want to!

By "reading", i mean reading of english prose. And prose mean Fiction.Thats it. Poetry, drama and all, are strictly prohibited..
and one more thing.. you guys may think, whats this much to say about "reading".. well, being heavily influenced by the TV during the small stages of life, living in this small town of kothamangalam, studying in a small school of vimalagiri, of course, the options we had were really limited..ya.. I still think it as a great accomplishment!! I'm not boasting or anything.. u know it :P

I'm just airing my thoughts!

Part-I

During the smaller classes, all i ever read was archies and all the kid stuff.. pardon me.. i did continue with that stuff untill my 7th grade.. Now, at this point of time, all we could think of was archie of course, with some sexy gals.. still searching for more gals..This is all i remember of my feelings and responses when i read those books..
Now that was something I (u have to consider the emotional developments of a smal kid) never understood. or, better put, envied of.. I wished I were in some distant country.. i could hav GF's.. and could go after even better gals.. mmm.. well, one never know, what fate have planned in account of him!!
I never knew!

Part-II

Now, at 7th grade(upto say, 8th).. i came up with some friends.. the name Tom Babu, is really worth mentioning.. He, was typical "good student".. mean, he got brains. so, gets marks. Never bothers to study much.. actually, he never bothers about anything.. but, he do reads a lot (of course, fiction).. and these are things that could influence the guys like me. Well, these were the things which influenced me!!

Now, joining with Tom, searched the libraries.. what did we find? Yep.. the good ol' classics. from Mark Twain to Alexander Dumas.. well, we did read a lot of books then..
And Alexander Dumas and Jack London was the most influencial of them all. I think it was some traits of their compositions, which influenced me deeply..

Jack London, it was the sense of Freedom, Nature, and a world completely unknown to me.
Alexander Dumas, it was the emotions of human mind..mind u, not always the positive ones..
especially, the strong emotions like Valor, Dignity, Honor, Vengence, Loyality, Love, Friendship, Betrayal, and of course, the Lust for money.

Conclusion? I found out, that any composition, written with the middle ages as background, can make me sit in front of any book for hours..

I had found my taste!

Part-III

Tom have come up with some crap. Harry Potter. what the hell!!! here, i'm busy reading the count of Monte Christo.. so, who bothers about some stupid story?? i saw the fromnt cover of the book. som 2 weird looking kids driving a car.. no! flying on a car! err.. now, this's kinda stupid!! how can one fly a car.. who bothers!!

NO. I should bother. Because, this HP is all around in the air. Mean, evryone is talking of it. and evryone wants the book and, hell! none is now interested in reading my genres.. now, when the currnt is in such a way tht u can't oppose, we'll have to go along. ryt? I DID so!

Started reading Harry Potter.

Started from, of course, the Philosophers' stone. mm ok. kinda good. Tehre do be some problems regarding the language.. presentation and all.. but still, ok! kinda good.
Next, Chamber of Secrets.. Now, I told u before. the Dark sides of human emotions did influnce me. Not that i wanted them in my charactor. But still, some sort of influence..
Hell.. i confess. i liked it.. and.. read again and agian.. i do not know what is the driving factor whic told me to read again and again!

Addiction is some kind of nuisance.. like, evrytime u'r supposed to say something, wht comes to your mind is nothing but this funny dialouges.. not that dialouges are funny.. now, looking back it seems, it was kinda kid thing to read..
