Murakami - a man who coloured his days with his passions.

Haruki Murakami was 29 and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, he was impulsed to write a novel while watching baseball game. The first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, got published and won a new writers’ award. And after several publications he became a phenomenon.

He had admirable discipline. He produced ten pages a day, after which he ran ten kilometres, worked on translations, and then reads, listens to records and cooks.

P.S. I would love to have such disciplined days.
