Be updated or be left out!

Keeping blog or blogs up-to-date is not only necessary, but mandatory, because anybody visiting the blog, would always like to have updated information about its author’s progress, instead of closing the page; just because it contains posts, which are couple months older.

I haven’t added anything new in the above paragraph, though, but in the virtual world its quite common; if you are not updated, very soon you will be out-dated.

I do not know if I have the right to say this; because its over 25 days, I added a new post to my blog. Those who have visited and regulary visit this page may have got or might get irate on reaching the same old page. My extended apologies to everyone.

After my last post on the first of this month, I got dead busy in getting my poetry book “Wings of Freedom” published here in India using a POD publishing website - Pothi.com, which is owned and managed by Mudranik Technologies Pvt. Ltd - a Bangalore based start-up in 2008. This poetry book was initially published in Canada through great friend Brian Wrixon and Blurb Inc. US. I got it published here too, so that family and friends residing in India can buy it in INR. It was this time, I realized how difficult self-publishing is. Especially, the cover art. All efforts paid off, the book’s been published and available by clicking these links http://pothi.com/pothi/book/aniruddha-sastikar-wings-freedom and http://www.blurb.com/b/4192156-wings-of-freedom.

If one wishes to become a good writer he/she has to read first; and thats what I got myself busy with. Within this 20-25 days, I managed to read “A Favorite Son” a wonderful book written by inspiring friend +Uvi Poznansky. 

I am in awe with her skill with words, brush, and chisel and hammer. Those looking to read strong family ties, I highly recommend “A Favorite Son” which is a modern day presentation of Biblical tale of of Jacob and Esau, their mother Rebecca, and Isaac, son of Abraham. Check out “A Favorite Son” through this link http://www.amazon.com/A-Favorite-Son-Uvi-Poznansky/dp/0984993258.

Coming back to blog updating, I noticed and read regular updates from lovely and close friends +Uvi Poznansky, +Cain Latrani, +Storm DeVille, and +Carla Sarett, which inspired me to get serious with my blog, if I wished to stay in the league.  

While I work on my next poetry book, I’ve made it a point to keep my blog updated, even if the post is just about 50 words.

I sincerely hope to keep my word.

Also hope you will like reading “Wings of Freedom” and “A Favorite Son”.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.
