Rendezvous With The Soul: A "Fictional" Mini-Autobiography

We all have dreams, aspirations and fantasies that we wish were closer to the reality. But worldly life doesn't allow us to really "live on our terms", does it? This is a mini-autobiography, a work of fiction, a dose of philosophy on life and its ways... and so on. Perhaps, it doesn't really fall under one genre.
I realized that "being practical" takes away from us the ability to think beyond the limitations that the realities of human life impose. Don't we live under too many restrictions? Don't we have fears that stop us from experimenting? Don't we, because of this, end up missing out on a lot of good things in life?

How To Become An Avid Reader: Task 2

So, here we are, all my fellow lazy-chumps, gearing ourselves for the second task in this series... wait, aren't we?

For those of you who do not know, I am a lazy reader (and I do not like admitting it all the time, so I won't update you again after this) and so, the not-so-lazy writer in me decided to teach me some lessons on how to improve.

How To Become An Avid Reader: Task 1

I am not an avid reader, but I do realize that I ought to be one. One misses out on an unimaginable amount of knowledge assets by not being a good reader, and I want to correct that for myself. And, what better a time than summer vacations to do that! (vacations that precede the placement season... err okay.)
If interested, you can join me on my little journey by keeping up with this series that begins with this very post. Let us see how many days it will take us to really "get into the mode". I'll think of tasks for us on a timely basis, and if you choose to follow along, don't forget to keep me updated on the status of your progress, just as I will. A comment or two is all that it would take.
