Few days after having written my first blog I found out how many people have read that. After seeing the numbers I felt so energetic and thought that I should write one blog everyday. I sat down with my laptop and started thinking a topic. Fifteen minutes gone, I was looking at the blank screen and blinking cursor. Thirty more minutes gone and nothing really changed. After few more minutes I closed my laptop and spent days thinking what to write.  I thought about writing poems or stories but then there was the issue of copyrights. I 'tried' reading articles explaining how one could get his digital works copyrighted. I dropped the idea because the process seemed complicated and confusing. And then conversations with my family and friends has led me to this topic. I love reading books. But there are some quotes or lines in books which makes a huge impact on the readers.
