I WANT TO BE A DUO. TO EXIST BOTH ON THE PAGES OF NY BOOKS AND IN
REALITY. I DO NOT WANT TO EXIST ONLY ONE ON PLATFORM. IF IT IS
POSSIBLE I WOULD BE BOTH KING AND SLAVE.I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO
FEELS SO, CHINUA ACHEBE ONCE WROTE "A WRITER'S LIFE, ONE THAT EXISTS
IN THE WORLD OF THE PAGES OF HIS OR HER STORY AND THEN SEAMLESSLY
STEPS INTO REALITIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE".
  GREAT ARE MY DESIRES AND WILLINGNESS BUT SHALLOW ARE MY PURSUITS. I
MAY START NOW WITH THE STRENGTH OF A GAZELLE BUT WITHIN A FORTNIGHT,
I WILL BE IN THE TOP SPEED OF A SNAIL.
BUY THIS DAY, I PLEDGE TO MYSELF THAT COURAGE I SHALL NOT LACK,
STRENGTH SHALL NOT DEPART AND FORESIGHT BE MADE AT HOME,NEVER TO
LEAVE.
     BUT SLOWLY, SLOWLY,
IT HAPPENS AGAIN.
