I won’t tell anyone the facts that I’m a Russian astrophysicist named Dimitri working at the Pentagon

By the way, when I wrote about autobiography, I was not thinking about publishing in the blog. I thought of writing and developing it offline. Anyway, thanks for the advice. You’re right on that.

I have long cherished an idea of writing an autobiography on my blog but I have avoided it due to one single reason…exposing too much of personal information on the web, which I am not comfortable with..I also want to caution you on that.

Probably if you have an option where by you can restrict the readership only by invitation, then it is fine.. the techie in you should start working now..

Nevertheless, it is a wonderful idea !! One should definitely give it a try.

You mentioned about us being open and being able to disclose. Why bring in restrictions and hurdles even before we could even start? Okay, if you write your autobiography and you conveniently skip those chapters where you’d get slapped by the girl next door, so what? Look at the objective. For anyone, it gives a nice opportunity to recollect those little forgotten stories. You’ll have fun producing an autobiography. Also, it can be useful for someone. Now, no one misses anything because you chopped off the chapter on girl-next-door-slap. You know what I mean?

Vijay, Even I started based on the subject you gave for the post (Life & times of vjkrishna), I excited & expected to read more about you rather than the actual content that has been published about writing our own autobiography. My excitement was ON till 3rd para & was interesting to read the post C.A life the sudden marital plunge, life @ office, abroad trips… but realized the fact after the 3rd Para that the content is not as titled. I felt it’s like India marching till world cup finals and lost in finals.

Lets comment on the content, later on the title – As well said, if we are verbally sharing our memories with old friends, colleague or any dear mates we can script them too but one need to have more parameters like patience, time, look for +ve reminiscences as these are easy to say but fails in implementation above all we will end up saying all good thing about ourselves as its going to be public. Most of us are in between 25-30 and aren’t in end of exiting life to script ourselves for publishing we can script till interval as of now I think. An autobiography is 100% of I, me & myself and one needs to write his own journey, experiences & his true life. I wonder how many of us will disclose everything of one selves? I think we are not saints, knowingly or unknowingly we do make mistakes (I mean not criminal history) and will fold all those while disclosing or may be by nature we tend to forgot to mirror our –ve or those unproud moments while scripting or while discussing atleast. One needs ‘courage’ to disclose everything.

Let’s discuss reg. the title part: Well personally I am more interested to sing the reminiscences along from your interval part because its ball of time for me and I can involve & sync more rather than just hear. I read some where that “No one knows/realizes the fact that it’s their happy moments when they are experiencing/enduring happiness”. I agree with the statement now. I wish to read your autobiography along with sruthi just to say her actual truth in whatever you have mentioned . I think she will convince & accept if Santy, Santan, Ravee & vinod join me for evidence.

To my experience I fell good now whenever I remember/share my bad & tough times; & how I endured the pain & it’s heal to successful and I feel bad now on my good times as they not going to repeat again as sweet as they were when I experienced them.

Either the blog was not clear or you have the skill of deviating from the topic or both

The blog is certainly not about my autobiography. My point is each can have one. If I tell you (which is what I thought I did through this post) that you can start writing your own autobiography because you have a great story to tell, what would be your response. Do you think it would be a worthwhile exercise?

By the way, I’d start writing various episodes of my life so far. At some point, all of them together should be a logical group of occurrences that can be called an autobiography!

You are right! We all certainly know what autobiography is and Vj ended up explaining the known! Rather the topic kindled my eagerness of knowing some of his secrets and finally got completely disappointed! Well we do have another way to know his biography! Contact Mr. MKP (Maasti Ki Paatshala)

MKP,

Please help Vj complete his autobiography please

I thought by the heading I can get a glimpse of your life, especially of your completing C.A. and wonderful moment down to Adyar flyover. where as you have explained what an autobiography for any one.
I like the way you quoted the explanation of diary as current event and autobiography as preent view on past event.

Anil – we are missing you for giving your comments, I think this time defenetly you will come up with a huge note .

santy – what you say?
