Leaving a Little Bit of Myself on the Page
by Devanshu Mehta
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got about writing was “leave a little bit of yourself on the page”.
That’s what I’ve done in my latest piece for The SightScreen titled Test Cricket and the Insecurity of Old Cultures:
Is Test cricket like India? An old culture, defensive about its flaws, over-celebrating its achievements, aggressive about its culture and history, and yet, if it only focused on what was so good about its present, it could be so much more.
I really loved writing it. Hope you like reading it.
By the way, the second best piece of writing advice I ever received was “who needs to die before you’ll write your great story?”

It really is a great write up… when heart writes what the mind has already edited and readers pour their thoughts on the subject.
Did I just write a quotable quote!!
