long working hours and what not
I’ve been going through a stressed out time in my life, more stressful than usual and one of the things that generally bears the brunt during times like these is my blog.
I’m intending to be back soon but the frequency of my posts may drastically vary. These stressed out times have been around for sometime and the good thing is that though I may not be updating this blog often, I have managed to spend time writing. In fact, as I posted earlier, Caravan has published me and another post I wrote a few months back (How do you support Mr.Hazare? Link here) was published by Bangalore’s DNA.
As I have found out lately, a lot of energy goes in a story that makes it to print. But there are less things in life that give me a high than what I get when I see my writing in ink.
The Traffic Slowers
I have been published by The Caravan Magazine. This month’s (February 2012) issue carries an article that I wrote for them. It’s a story about four guys, security guards in Bangalore’s Domlur area, who ferry passengers from one side of the road to another. I called the article, “The Traffic Slowers”, while Caravan preferred to name it, “At Their Own Risk”. No, I am not complaining.
You can check out the article here, at Caravan’s website.
It was a wonderful experience working with the people at Caravan. As an aspiring writer, this experience means a lot to me. Going around city, making notes, reworking my prose that could fit in Caravan’s style…
My sincere thanks to those at Caravan who I worked with. They know who they are. I hope you do read and enjoy my story, story of Das, Rajvir, Mohanty and Ranganatha’s, as much as I did while writing it.
