********* Navaratna *********

I had published two books on my two prior birthdays - both were not technically books rather compilation of few of posts at this blog.

When I forced myself into "இனியவை நாற்பது "  (when I turned 40) which was my first compilation book , I was even visualizing that I will be publishing 40 such books in the following birthdays - without any break !
Being a blogger - if not a regular blogger - getting materials could have become just pulling out few of my posts during the full year before the birthday !!  That had been my original (lazy ?) idea. 

In sync to this idea, my second one "சாதாரணத்துவம்" came easy last year but then, it was slightly improvised because though it was again a compilation, it came under an umbrella of theme that I was writing at  various points of time during past 2 - 3 years.

But then, some time during the beginning of this year, I thought - for this year, I would make out a book compiling my FIRSTs in various forms of expressions - each one with a prelude which require some amount of time to be invested. (The title was supposed to be "கன்னி முயற்சிகள்"). I had almost decided upon it.....

Then what happened ? 

The typical gloom that I undergo once a while happened during last month and I started seeing the foolishness to feel proud about my FIRST initiatives earlier than it ought  to be.....!! 

For some one, whose most of the first attempts did not take any shape further the first attempt - it might have even retard my future initiatives...... 

Also, I - do some times imagine that I write with crystal clarity, it is quite glaring to see that my expressions are still in the process of gaining maturity & perhaps a grand memoir like this (trying to compile all my "firsts")  could be attempted after couple of decades - not now !!
(by any chance were you grinning ? huh....)

So, I shelved the idea - I mean even the idea to publish books henceforth & wanted to give myself some time to settle down myself before thinking about such pranks.  

By sweet coincidence, on Apr 12th (which was two days back - on the sunday) I stumbled upon a nice possibility ***** "நவ இரத்தினங்கள் "******* for my June 12th book (I mean my birthday this year). It happened quite unexpectedly and as I keep musing the idea, it evolved on its own into a nice little booklet (if not a book) bearing the above title.

This will be in pure Tamil unlike my earlier attempts & the beneficiary (if any) will be only tamil speaking / thinking humans to help them to raise their bars - I mean, the bars up to which I can lend my hands gracefully.

Another speciality of "நவ இரத்தினங்கள் " would be that it will be created in this span of approx 60 days only and not a piece of it was / will be published at AGANDAM.

I might be writing out the prelude part alone perhaps during the first week of June 2015 mainly to serve the purpose of curtain raiser and planning to loop few of my erstwhile FB friends who might be liking it. (Yeah, NOT all)

So, why am I forcing myself into this DOM DOM now.....!! 

It is only to keep myself hooked on this initiative offering every single minute possibly I can shave out of my 24 hours on each day for this initiative. 

May Almighty Prevail & bring out my best ....and let it help a handful if not plenty. I am not in a hurry at all
