Reading isn’t one of the best things I would like to do on an off day, left it all back in school. I would always admire those who read a lot but then I thought it’s only a function of when you don’t do something you tend to get fascinated by it. Bought books on arts, fiction, etc but could never reach the last page , I blamed it on my lack of concentration, which isn’t my fault cause I strongly believe concentration is also a function of inheritance, I see a lot of my father in me.

The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.
George Eliot

I am not really trying to talk about my reading habits but where I am trying to get is about simplicity and expressions. As a child I was imbibed with thoughts that I must write good English in order to learn a living. The thought today is funny and bizarre .Each morning my grandfather would ask us to read one of the most boring and difficult to understand kind of articles, well his motive behind that was pretty simple "its to get you into reading habit" but I possibly could not take it in the same manner .To me news papers perhaps became one of the most horrific element to face every morning because my understanding about a news paper was ,only about good vocabulary and that’s it .Now my million dollar question was in understanding ,what is good vocabulary mean really how would you pick up few words and say .. Hmm that’s a fine word, not too long I figured out, words unheard of make it to the class, and if that so then think about it one may use a difficult word only so the other person does not understand him. How stupid of the most intelligent species on the planet earth , remember we are going our ancestor ways killing the gift of language it is a reverse way to evolution, communication is dying and we are making things difficult to understand. Few articles which I would completely not understand were called masterpiece writing, so here then I conclude often something’s you don’t understand is called masterpiece.

Why I harp a lot on English is because this is one of the language which has refrained me from not only writing but my expressions and thoughts (especially in our country) .Writing as I see is an expression of the mood and not the function of a particular language. Language has a simple job to do, make things simpler and understandable.

[Writing is] largely a matter of application and hard work, or writing and rewriting endlessly until you are satisfied that you have said what you want to say as clearly and simply as possible. For me that usually means many, many revisions.
