Reading spree....
Wrote it over yest, posting today...
I smhow luv reading…if I m not reading sm specifications regarding my project I can be caught reading sm novel or story book…lite music, a book & my intellections….
I finished reading Jane Austen’s ‘Pride & Prejudice’ lately…read a short story ‘The Adventure of the Missing Three-quarter’ and a small novel ‘A Study in Scarlet’ both by Arthur Conan Doyle and ‘My boyhood days’ frm the Rabindranath Tagore’s Omnibus-I …
All three belong to separate categories. Especially first & last are frm the classics in English literature…
‘My Boyhood days’ is a memoir of the Tagore’s childhood days…& is written very beautifully by the author…Omnibus contains six profound works of Tagore….one of them ‘The Post Office’ which I had read sm two months back…as I was busy so had kept Tagore aside for sm 40 days & wen got time, then picked up ‘Pride & Prejudice’…after finishing that I got back to Tagore & read ‘My Boyhood days’…
Arthur is no doubt one of my favorite writers…although haven’t read much frm him…I remember the very first short story book, ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ frm which I developed a liking for Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson. After long I gotta read some books on Sherlock Holmes. ‘The adventure of Missing three-quarter’ is a very short story of hardly 30 pages…too small for mysteries…frm mysteries I remember Dan Brown…I read ‘Angels & Demons’ sm five-six mnths back…wanna read the other two books by him also…Yest. finished ‘A Study in Scarlet’…I think it is one of the earlier novels of Doyle as in this he describes how Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson meet…how Sherlock Holmes studies a case…all this is being closely described.
Pride & Prejudice is a romantic novel…it’s my second experience to read sm romantic stuff…had read one more romantic novel in the beginning of this year…Pride & Prejudice is great for lite reading…really a classic…the way Jane Austen describes the characters, their attires…the whole scene emerges like a movie frm those old days…the character of Elizabeth is superb…she is not the one who falls for smone just like that & how she develops liking for Mr. Darcy is also pleasing & the way they cm closer is surprising…may be sm luv stories r like that in which even after denying & getting away, ppl start to like the other person slowly & turn back & ask for person’s hand…all this happens in fiction only I guess…
I get nowadays arnd 2-3 hrs in evng for myself & so I can read books, pen down my blogs & I c that recently the length of my posts & their frequency has been increasing…I m becoming a proficient blogger ;-)
…its around 7:30 in the evng…Sur is currently reading & I m writing this post & songs frm the singer Faakhir are playing on my lappy…I like ‘Mahi Ve ’& ‘Jiya na jaye’ frm his collection a lot…
…books r good friends to keep u occupied & keep the devil’s workshop busy esp. if u r alone & missing the ppl u like…to sm u can call up, talk & tell u r missing them…while there r sm whom u miss always & have no means to convey that u r missing them…they may think u hav forgotten them wid time but u r helpless to let them know how u feel…unless they themselves turn back & call up…was looking at my phn book in cell-phn…sm nos frm which i get calls frequently…sm who call rarely…1 or 2 frm which I never recd a call, but i don’t want 2 delete & hope i may recv a call one-day & everyday i feel may b that day is today & i don’t delete those no’s…had seen a dream yest. night in which everyone I luv was arnd…dint wanted that dream to end…it was a dream in the morning & they say early morng dreams get true…how I wish this dream to turn into reality…
