First post of year 2015. 2014 was great indeed and I can arguably
say one of the most happy and memorable year of my life. I had good health,
lots of fun outings with friends, gained more confidence at work, also managed
to stay healthy and fit. The best part however was birth of my nephew Sparsh,
the next generation is here. Suddenly you feel more responsible.
I also saw lots and lots of movies in multiplex last year. Something I plan
to cut on this year. I started working on the same end of last year. I
started and finished the sci-fi series ‘Firefly’(rather than watching all
released movies in multiplex). It had
only one season, too bad they did not release more, as it was wonderful indeed!!
I would read the book surely. Speaking of which, currently I am reading 'Sherlock
Holmes' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
To be frank I am not as voracious a reader as I am a writer.
Writing comes natural to me, I read only something that keeps me interested.
The list is placed towards bottom right section in this blog itself. I had just seen the couple released
Sherlock Holmes movies before. After finishing ‘Firefly’ I decided to finally
start watching the long pending Sherlock series. I finished 2 episodes of
season 1 and immediately decided to get the book. I ordered it from Amazon and have finished 5 chapters of the first long story ‘A Study in Scarlet’.
This story is the first by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is
the story where Dr. Watson meets Sherlock Holmes. The way in which Sherlock
does his investigation and his theory and practice of ‘Science of Deduction’ is
captivating. I will not disclose further details of the story but implicitly
and may be inadvertently the author has also portrayed why does a person commits crime and he has portrayed it magnificently!!
I can say the novel has kept me interested and absorbed indeed.
I have completed reading just around 100 pages of volume one, and am glad that there are
1000 more to come. I will also order the second volume from Amazon later, this
would surely be a great collectible in my book collection..
