And So The Adventure Begins!

Hello there!

    Isn't this how a new conversation starts with someone whom we meet after years? Yes, but there exists a small difference of a month rather than a year. Also, it's not just a new talk, but a new start. So, we should certainly begin formally with an intro, although the above one falls in the informal one. 
    Ok, No more of an "introduction" as we are already in the body part. If you do read my blog posts, you might have already noticed that the majority of the ones I post is nothing, but book reviews. But I was never an avid reader. Not until I was into college. It was for the sake of these reviews, I at least read a book, then. Gradually, I started liking the habit and was stepping ahead in the world of reading. Wait, don't think that I am posting my first book experience here. I don't even remember what I read, as it happened a long ago. It's about a book you all have read so it's neither a review. 
      It's all about ' The Alchemist '. Let me be honest, this book was not in the first ten or even twenty books I read. This is one of my recent reads. Surprised? No? Fine. Coming to the point, I didn't feel anything extraordinary. I picked this book when I was going through reader's block and this was the only book I thought of reading and YES! it has helped me get over the phase.
  Even though I wasn't fascinated by the novel, I read it in one go, which I seldom do. I won't say I disliked the story, it was just an okay one. But, going through the book ended up being fruitful. For the first time in my life, I finished reading four books in a row, which is a huge accomplishment for me. 
 Don't ask me why I talked about this today. when you lack content this is what you could do, after all. Just kidding! I just wanted to be light, for the comeback after many days, as I consider. Let's meet with formal writings next time. 
   So yeah, that sums up my piece of writing. If you liked it, do consider subscribing and hit the like button. Oops! 
I forgot, this is not Youtube, right? Ok  Thank you for your valuable time, I appreciate it!. Hope to see you in the upcoming posts. 
 
Stay Safe, Take care.

"THE BELL TOLLS FOR THEE"

Back in 2017, on September 5th, gunfire erupted at a house in Rajarajeshwari Nagar. On that day, along with Pansare and Kalburgi, Gauri Lankesh too became a martyr of free speech. That was not the end, attacks on journalists, known and unknown have seriously escalated in the recent years. From January 1st of this year , to this juncture,I pen this, several journalists had been jailed and one journalist killed.Where? Right in the world's largest democracy, Why? For accomplishing their duty! For lashing out at the bitter truth. The history of Indian media which went conjointly with the British history always made a revolutionary impact with its valiant efforts to uncover the brutalities of the then rule. It was in 1780, the first newspaper ' Bengal Gazette' started, paving the way for many other dailies.
