The will to type words and phrase sentence is dying. The will to keep up with this blogging business is also fading. I know I say this more often than I post and precisely so! The studies are taking their toll. I am getting busy by the day although it might not seem the case to my parents who always think that I am not putting in as much as I should but I am.
I have been reading Faiz Ahmed Faiz lately. He is one rebellious poet. Most of his poetry is sub par when compared to his predecessors. But I think drawing this comparison will be unfair in that none was born in times when Faiz inhabited this earth. He was good in his own right and did his job best.
Khushwant Singh with his Delhi is once again in my reading limelight. A perverted book but original book is my opinion and has always been about Delhi. He makes you a part of Delhi through ages and makes you live a middle class life all through these ages. His journalistic approach towards writing produces the sensation that keeps you stuck to the book.
I am also trying my hand on Bertrand Russell's "History of Western Philosophy". The introduction written by the author is by far the most elaborate and comprehensive introduction to any philosophical review book in english. I like Russell for his peculiar and very straightforward style of writing. He has that ability to detach himself from the subject matter and help his reader draw conclusions without any fear of adding a bias. Simple and effective. If you want to read more of his work then this is the resource place you need to go to.
