A Nobody's Notebook - Sandeep Dahiya - Bog

It's the notebook of a small-time writer. No big efforts at super-heroism, no ironies of heart-breaks, no bombastic romance, no gooseflesh rippling drama, no thunder-stricken rigmarole of saving the planet from the aliens. It's not about chafing thoughts, it's all about the frolicking gaiety of common emotions in the life of common people.

Beyond the grinding millstone of bigger caprices, it's about sublimated emotions. It creeps genteelly like a flowery vine. It's just a fragile moment capturing the kernel of eternal truth in it like you see in a painting of beautiful hills, smatterings of snow on the slopes, chatty streams, green pastures and a sense of virginal peace to tow all these along. There are no chivalric, lionized doctrinaires delving into deep mysteries of human existence. It's a gently flowing painting on a self-absorbed canvas. The human characters simply add to the soft shades of the softly evolving painting.

In this small world, I believe everyone is taking chiming steps to be a nice human being. Come, let's all walk together for a greater collective good.
