14th June 2012 An Accidental Life

June 14A
Somebody asked me yesterday that if I were to write a book, my own biography, what title would I give for it. Took me a long time to muse over this. Not that I would ever write such a book, nor would anybody be interested to read it if I did. Why should they?

I won't pick up a biographic book of just anybody unless it's of someone, past or present, whom I have often heard mentioned, someone I admire or even envious, someone famous or infamous, someone who is known to have achieved great things in whatever fields to change other's life, or his own; someone I know or at least know of ... Or, on the perverse side, someone notoriously bad and of ill fame ...


Anyway, I shall perhaps call my never-to-be-written biography:


" An accidental life "
