Notes to myself 18

Did you know that there was originally a tagline below my blog title that read in black font in black background,
"I = you"?

I attended Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma's concert today.
With Chinni.
And then I showed him my library and office.
And then he wanted to treat me for taking him to a fantastic concert.
So I took him to Treat.
And we had a lovely dinner of rotis and stuffed tomato and Veg Kohlapuri.
And then on our way back in Awesom-O I asked him to help me out with a story that I have been thinking about for two years.
And he listened to me patiently and he gave me my first piece of advice.
Rule number one - Make it as personal as possible. The story has to be about individuals and not types. So write from your life experiences. Do not write from the cinema you have seen or from the morality that has been ingested by you over a period of time. Do not to be judgmental about the characters you create. Let them speak and act for themselves. Write from your heart. Let it flow. Do not have any rules or restrictions when you write.

Thank you Chinni.
I hope to write my first draft soon and get to the more interesting part.

It's such a nice feeling to hear from an old friend, who is now in Texas and calls himself El Sapo from El Paso.

And so much faith and confidence he has in me.
It's reassuring.
Gives me hope.
Thanks El Sapo.
You made my day.
