Drama and poetry is supremely underrated. I would love poetry till
death. A single sonnet can
describe an entire book. People usually find poetry boring. They fail to understand the true meaning. Poetry, like quotes leave a strong impression. Poetry writing is a talent. I'm not saying that because I write them or i shall say i used to write. I still have a long way to go to perfect the art. Condensing feelings and lines into four to five words per sentence is an art in itself! You need to cut off at the right time, get the words to rhyme and keep it simple. You need to have a clear heart and deep understanding to get it. You need to put one and one together to get the actually meaning of a poem. Fiction, poetry and quotes, are my three fixations.Reading is a lost art.But nothing like a good book to carry to your bed and read before you sleep. Imagine taking the Computer, or the TV to bed.I hardly remember when this habit became a part of me, when I religiously started spending a part of my holidays on books. I may have a dozen which I haven't yet read, but still I end up craving for more. They say never judge a book by its cover, but sometimes I just pick up the book because it looks good. Honestly very few have turned out to be good. Reading is a part of my daily chores. Else something feels incomplete. But given a choice between reading and writing, anyday I'd choose reading. About 80% of what I am today is because of the books and blogs I've read. No, not the academic ones. The Others.
