Book ideas

Being abnormal has been a norm for me. Or rather, had been. At a time when people were going through english grammer and Social science books, I was trying to master JAVA, C, C++ etc.
When I wanted a computer and my dad asked me to get the money for it, I went to the bank manager and asked him if he could give me a loan. That was in class 9. Let me be honest, it was rather overwhelming, but I did it anyway.

In Pre-university, I look up electronics to see what it was all about. It was alright but didnt beat the thump of engines, so had made up my mind that I was going to be a mechanical engineer. And four years later, I was :) and am..

I always wanted to be an automotive journalist ever since I was reading Autocar, BS motoring etc etc and so i start a website and made money too while I was at it. Hope you guys remember carsinindia.com.

Now, If I were looking through the eyes of me, in 10th class, I was living the dream. Working at a global auto major on cars that were still on the drawing board and still am.

So, great going, Cheers..

Why am I telling you all this?

Because, I'm slowing beginning to feel that I might have lost that edge. I seem to be following a path taken by a number of people before me, and it is one of the reasons I'm on this path, since others were successful doing stuff like this.

So, Looking for my comfort zone(which is the tried and tested stuff), and from what I realise, I never did anything worthwhile when I was sitting pretty at home, reading my curriculum, getting marks blah blah tried and tested stuff..
What I'm doing right now, is tried and tested, so I suppose it wont be worth mentioning anywhere.. ANYWHERE


So, what next?

Get off the beaten path : If that's giving up a corporate career(not materialised yet), I swear I'd love to do that, but thanks to financial constraints, my risk appetite is lesser than a 2 year old who just had lunch.. So I cant do that, but that said, I want to begin my journey to regain my risk appetite, and I will.. In time, I will..

In the words of Deep purple Its not the kill, its the thrill of the chase... So, here wondering how to make the kill, the thrill is being lost..

And that brings me to what I set out to tell you : It wasn't so long ago that my dad suggested that I write a book on my experiences in France, and how it may be interesting for people who have not been to France to see through my eyes, what I have seen and experienced. And in the last few days, I've realised its rather easy to publish a book and have been having ideas about how I could tell my story in a manner that might interest the masses.

So, I'm going to find out, with my next project : Will people read something written by yours truly :)..

Another thrill of the chase, maybe I'll make the kill or just find another chase, I don't know.. But you know what I like most about the last 24 years of my existence? FINDING OUT.. And find out, I will..

PS : Would you read something like this?
