Why am I a Lilliputian?

I spent quite some time thinking what I should name my blog. Then tried a couple of catchy titles only to find that they were already taken. I am no great book reader. But I decided that the name has got to do something with the first book that interested me to read. Text books never interested me. I user hear to stories that my grandma told me to make me swallow couple of more mouthfulls while eating.

What was the first time I was interested in reading something?

Come on. That shouldnt be that tough. Bang! Yes. There was this book I got as a Prize for an essay writing competition. I was in 6th or 7th std that time. I memorized the essay my father wrote and managed to spit it well on the white paper on the competition day. Now, if you call that a talent, thats why I got this book for. 

Gulliver's Travels.

Not Sure how I started reading this book. But the tiny people thing in this book amused me. Now, only vaguely I remember the story... Lilliput was the island of the tiny people. 

Hmmm... I used to wonder in childhood - if I were so tiny and can sneak under the nose of my teachers, mom and other people who would want to confine me to home or school? what all would I do?

Now, I am wondering - How tiny I am? How big the world is? How many people? How many talents? What all happens in this world in one second? 

How many smiles? How many cries? How many create this smile or tears on others? 

If Alexander the great himself has only a few pages in a history text book that no one cares about these days... who am I to this world?

A Tiny Man. Most people dont even know that I exist. Just like the people of Lilliput. 

Thats how I became a citizen of Lilliput.
