I don't think anyone
is reading this blog. But I'm going to try and write on it every day anyway, just to see if I can. To see if a person has something to write about every single day of their life!
Well that comment about how I managed to mis-spell every single Turkish word in my posts on the similarities between Turkish and Hindi. I think the idea (then....I can't completely remember what happened in that raki-saturated period 2 years ago!!!), the idea was to spell the words phonetically in English so that any Hindi-speaking friends I had would be able to recognise the word. However since the Turkish and English script is very very very similar, it just looked like I got everything wrong.
Hell maybe I did get everything wrong. Maybe I WAS actually trying to type it in Turkish and just screwed every single word up.......we'll never know. Its going to remain one of those unsoved mysteries.
Also I doubt any Hindi-speaking friends ever bothered reading it :(
I've started on my happy birthday stash :). Presently midway through The Ragazzi by Pasolini translated from the Italian. In the words of the immortal McD's - i'm lovin' it. I think I have a weakness for fictional books set in historical times regardless of genre. My favourite detective novel might be The Name of the Rose by Eco. Another one translated from the Italian. Hmmmm....maybe I just have a weakness for Italian
Or maybe not
