Chronicle of a Corpse Bearer
I am not very comfortable with technology. Honestly, I find it as a kind of imposition. Even carrying a cell phone has been difficult, and I have been carrying one only for the last seven to eight years. I write on MS Word and even in that, there are things I still don’t know how to use. Before computers came, I wrote on a typewriter. I can’t write longhand, as my handwriting is bad. At times, just because everybody starts doing things a certain way, it becomes a compulsion but I don’t like to be bothered. I am over the hill and old fashioned; I do what I want.

I write on a MacBook Pro and I Google stuff for research, sometimes. It definitely makes things easier and smoother. Spell check, formatting and checking the word count is so easy. I don’t think I could write longhand anymore. I do, still write on a yellow pad with a pencil and eraser at times, but that’s only for short format stuff like an ad script or slogan or lyrics for a jingle. It’s more impulsive and organic, perhaps. But for a whole book I need a Mac.
