I'm one of those who read many books (2 to 3) simultaneously. I could not finish many books which I started with great inthusiasm because of one reason or another.e.g: I'd hardly read 100 pgs of 'Anna Karenina'and it appeared on Star Movies, after watching the movie I lost the interest.
Thick books are not my cup of tea.May be because I'm a slow reader and I started reading very late in life.Better late....
My fav books are the collection of stories preferably real-life or Autobiographical.
Lookig at my reading habits and back ground I will not be able to offer very interesting answers and very famous names from the world of books.(Blame Manish for it he only Tagged me :-)
1.Total number of books I own : Hmmm… 20
2.The last book I bot : ‘Living History’ By Hillery Clinton.
Krishnkali By Shivani.
3.The last book I read :

4.Five Books that mean a lot to me: ( not exactly mean a lot but enjoyed reading it)
1. Love story By Erich Segal The only book which made me cry.
2. My India By Khushwant Singh: Anything written by KS in his those small Articles. .

Houses
We've lived in 7 houses in 3 cities during last 14 years. It feels really bad when I've to leave a house. Last week we shifted again.
I left that beautiful house and got busy in settling down in this new one.
Since it was a 1st floor house every window opened to a beautiful scenery, which included tree-tops, an Air Tel tower far away, a gulmohar tree covered with orange flowers, a bigger tree full of yellow flowers, lush green lawns of the people living in ground floor houses. I also left a very friendly neighbourhood behind.
This shifting business reminds me of this Shloka from Bhagwadgita. which means that soul is eternal it does not die. Like we discard old clothes and wear new ones in the same way( we) Atama leaves the old body and takes a new one….
I cleaned, decorated and enjoyed living in that house and suddenly left it and now have nothing to do with it . Isn't it the way everyone has to leave this house (the world) one day for the final abode.
