Who Am I… You Sure You Want To Know…
Life is so ironic… There I was contemplating a post on how few ‘good’ Conversations I have had in a long time(its true and more on that later)… Just then I have this amazing conversation with a friend who is leaving the country… We spoke about a lot of things but its the finale of the conversation that was really special and interesting to me.
A little rewind so that the rest of you can catch up
She was one of the few people who knew me before she met me! Ironically that was exactly why I wanted to meet her… She had read my blog/writings/stories and even occasionally commented before we personally met. The reason I wanted to meet her(even though it happened informally) was because she was the only person who could have answered a important question… “Am I true to my writings?”
I know that my friends who have met me before and during my blog creation and execution could answer the very same question but its a little different… Let me explain… A few weeks back when I published my new story online lot of people I know told me that they could read it as though it was being narrated by me! I was very flattered but the problem was that it was not meant to happen that way… Assuming me narrating such a story would have worked against understanding it the way I wrote it… This same thing happens with almost everything I write… and hence I needed someone who had hardly ever heard my voice or spent time with me ![]()
I wanted to put forward the question for a while but wanted to give enough time for her to try and put that image created of me and (the actual) me in the same frame and hit ‘compare’
After knowing each other for almost an year I thought it was the right time to see what answer I get…
What she told me really shook me up. She simply said that my blog entries were restrained versions of me! Like it was only a part of me that was influenced highly by an event or action around me in the recent past/present. She told me that she understood me better from my stories…
It got me thinking and I now feel stupid that I did not figure this out earlier
It was always in my writing… my stories are a deeper insight into my thoughts than the ocassional quick post I make, then again the posts are much more clearer view of how I lead my life… But if you wonder what would Haas do in a specific situation, my stories would have the answers.
I always felt that my blog was a best insight into me… guess I was wrong
So… If you want to know who I am… You know what to read
