Writing a book on Neilgherries
Posted on February 27th, 2010 6 commentsThis has been a long long running thought.
To write a book on Neilgherries (called Nilgiris today).
Why?
- To satisfy the (poor?) writer in me
- I grew up there
- I love the place
- I want to tell the story of how wonderful it was 100-200 years back and how it is now
- I want to write something and can’t think of anything else
- I want to publish my own photographs of birds, animals and landscapes somewhere
- I want to dedicate something to my dad, and he will love my idea of a book on Nilgiris
What is stopping me?
- Time
- Laziness
- Confusion
- Work (at office)
- Lack of enough motivation
So, what now?
- I own www.neilgherries.com and want to make it a decent portal for info on Nilgiris, not the one the regular tourist knows, but the one that the British saw in the 1800′s. This website can serve as a pre-cursor to my book.
- Plan to finish the book before 2015… now, now.. that is long long away! But I feel I need the time!
- No compulsions! I may drop out anytime if I find it boring!
- Hey, its just an experiment. I don’t intend to make any money, quite the opposite, I am willing to spend some money actually.
- For now, felt making this wish public will motivate me better. So, wish me luck!
- See ya all in 2015!
