Why I started to "Review"
I, personally, love that my work is being reviewed by my readers. But how many of we, the Authors, choose to review the works of others. Don't we, the Author, are too happy to bask in our glory while expecting others to stand clapping on our "good" or "bad" work.
Isn't it we are tempted very often to say that we don't have time since we are too busy in writing novels, fictions, non-fictions... apart from attending to our daily chores and conducting hectic official work? Is it really true that the Author don’t have time for others? Why don't the Authors find sufficient time to read the work of even his colleague authors or for that matter the work of his closest friends?
Such thoughts have been nagging me for the last two weeks. It's true that I had reviewed a few works earlier, but may I concede before all of you that I myself lacked in discharging my role both as a reader and as an author.
Then I keenly watched Sandeep Sharma, the Author of Hey Dad met my Mom, who is not only an avid reader, but an amazing reviewer. It put a thinking cap on me, "If Sandeep can do it, while undergoing his engineering undergraduate program, then I can certainly do the same."
Therefore, I decided to review the works, which I could remember that I had read them.
Finally the result showed on Goodread site i.e. https://www.goodreads.com/user/top_re...…, where I was ranked All India Second Reviewer during the past week. I'm proud to say that I reviewed 56 works.
I'm presently trying to review as much as I can even though I'm doing the final edit of my next novel, which needs to be submitted to the publisher by the first week of next month. Today, in this humdrum of life, my dream is to become the top reviewer of India. If it happens at some point of time, I will be actually a very satisfied man.
Next challenge for me is to read the work of my all colleague authors. I've taken this up in right earnest and I do believe in the next three to six months, I'd be certainly reading their work and review them too in spite of the most busy schedule for any taxman during the months from January to March.
No excuse from my side!!!!!
