Hi people,
Here is a thought again,really encouraged by the four to five responses I got for the opening piece,five more than i expected.... I am inspired....
All these thoughts have originally come from a friend who is an author and has two books to his credit,both of which are good and by my initial impressions of the guy are really surprising , not to say I am a critic of any sort of literature, nowhere close to be honest.
The guy, my friend , the ' Author ' is an intelligent , successful , friendly and talented soul , could also be called on to counsel to most of his friends, on a varied spectrum of issues, this was in his younger days though namely school and college. His counselling talent is what has led to him to have enough confidence to write , or so I think , so far he has done exceedingly well , his subjects are well researched and ideas ,well implemented.
The books have got international publishers , a really big deal considering , the guy used to hang out with my friends and I , it was safe to say then that none of us would ever get into the noble profession of saving others lives , or ever be handling bio-mechanisms or chemicals , none of us even got a scent , but to become a ' Author ' and have such novel ideas , convincing enough for foreign publishers to put money into his projects is an achievement and a big one at that. His talent though is to rise from the platform of confidence that he had developed by counselling his friends, a confidence that must reinforced the fact that people were willing to listen to what he had to say and actually doing those things , now he is getting to them and a lot more people to read his thoughts.......that is just grand.....and hats of to him.....here's wishing him well and a lot many projects to follow.....may he go from strength to strength....... I now would like to take this opportunity to wish him and his family well............however now that he has made it , here is a request on behalf of all of us who have been a part of his development in one way or the other ,
do stop counselling US you have others to do that too.........just a Thought......
Good one ! are you talking about Salman Rushdie ?

Forget everything else... i want this friend of yours who is an author, who is also a good friend of mine....should keep on writing.... whether he does conselling to bloody US or any other country , i dont care ... thats all....
