Plenty of possibilities

The adage is every reader reads himself into a work. If that is the case, I stand a good chance to win some laurels on that count. Of late, I am not much into reading. But when I read, it becomes somewhat of a pout-pourri: The first few chapters of book 'A' read alongside some randomly selected chapters of book 'B' finally mixed up with a couple of pages from a third book. The experience is heady!
It gives a terrific high to concoct a tale from a few disjointed narratives. There is scope for creation of new characters and incidents and maybe, a little far-fetched it is though, to find some interconnection, too. A twist in the tales!!
Thus you could have Anna Karenina chatting up Lady Chatterley or Lola and Ricardo Reis having a word with our own Billy Biswas. Maybe they could speak on something like Wong Kar Wai's movies or Nehru's politics. The next scene could have Gonzalez's daughter making some hard revelations under the pretext of reading some book.
Thus, you could summon umpteen characters who would mill about for precious territory in that chaotic mindscape of yours. How would it all be in the end; what is the theme; where’s the plot??? Let questions be asked and maybe they will give rise to many more subtexts (supertexts).
Is it mandatory that there be an order and that every tale is told in a particular fashion?

Blogger's dilemma

Guess this is my third attempt at blogging! I’ve so far been a great admirer, not to say a fervent practitioner of idleness and naturally, all my past blogs withered away like petals in storm. This after I had vowed to take the plunge into active blogging. So this time around, I don’t have any misgivings about my prospect as a blogger. At ease, I’ll blog whenever I feel like and maybe this will soon draw to a close without notice. Let uncertainty prevail….
