Which book are you guys reading today?

I just finished Chetan Bhagat's latest. It is called "The 3 mistakes of my life" and it is his third book. I never though very highly of "Five point someone", I am one of the people who enjoyed the call center one much more. Well moving on, I feel Chetan should start writing scripts for bollywood movies. His stories are extremely gripping, however the endings are usually hurried and very melodramatic. The good thing is, they are always happy! I believe in happy endings...


If I ever met him, I think we will have a good chat.
Nevertheless, I have finished all his books in a day flat.... so I hold high opinions about him.

In all the three books, the characters come alive and you actually start feeling for them.

So this one is definitely my recommendation.

Completely off the topic....

A very interesting thing...that my dad told me was about his rendezvous with an old friend at the Mumbai airport. This man owns a book store at the airport. And has introduced my dad to several authors over the years....

They became good friends...en route!

My dad has stopped travelling like before, so this time when he landed at the airport. He saw that the airport was under construction and the his favorite shop wasn't there. He was sad and decided to grab some coffee. Just next to the coffee stand, was a small new bookshop with the name changed. When he entered the store...he met his friend. They were glad and this time he introduced my dad to this "The Ghost" by Robert Harris.


I didn't wanna give a review on it, but just highly recommend it.


And then there's the book I read this weekend "The Secret"
A best seller and even has a movie on it. However, it gives all the funda's of life that we are all aware of. We do understand the difference between right and wrong. Sometimes, we apply it and sometimes we don't. I wish I could make money stating the obvious. I was never born with a golden spoon. So things would come hard to me.

By the way, the book's cover is brilliant.... "Kabhi naye packet mein beche...tumko cheez puraani"

:-)

Kudos to the cover designer!

Delhi has lovely weather today. I just took a stroll with my good friends....
Enjoy the unlucky Tuesday!

Here's my attempt as well....

I have to agree, I had to dig into my writings to find something romantic which was never published....

It was just one of those days... It was forbidden. It was so exciting.
I still can't forget that evening.
It was beautiful.It was late.
I had missed an important conference. But nothing really mattered.

I think I was falling in love...I don't know why it happens so fast... but there were butterflies all around. He was leaving forever.

I should have felt sad but I just didn't. I didn't expect it to happen.
It was just a blissful moment and it a goodbye.


Was tired but managed to look good. There was a glow and it comes just once in a while.I stepped foot into the house if given a chance I wouldn't wanna leave.

But I was cinderella that night and the clock would strike 12 and I would have to leave (with or without the shoes). He said I looked smashing. I smiled and looked into his eyes. He smiled back. I think he understood.

I remember sitting down near the music system in his balcony. I looked at him and complained. He told me things could change. I didn't believe him and I was right.

As the night went by, I gulped a lot. A lot of breezers, vodka, etc etc and he held me and we sat together. I was on the 7th heaven.

The clock kept ticking. It would soon be over forever.I started feeling dizzy. Obviously I had never had this much. He said "lie down for sometime". I said ok.

We went down to his room. It was dark. I lied down and he sat beside me. He said his best words that day, "I can't believe you are lying on my bed!! " Was he a teenager??, I smile back at it.

I said I feel better and we went back.

After some time, it was time. Cinderella had to run and he couldn't accompany her. The party was afterall in his . Wish I could have stayed. It was only a wish. Life went back to normal. It was just one of those magical hours that were special. He never found me like the prince. I never bothered. It was just one of those days...

An attempt to write on a lovehead part 1

The people whom I speak of are a part of a story that continues till this very moment...this is just an excerpt,one of the many which will be based on them.Let the legacy begin...
***
The first time she met him was after chatting and countless phone conversations without taking consent of using her sister's cellphone,(which was really cool then,since a call cost 7 bucks per minute) on school nights.


These conversations bore witness to their mild flirting and the fact that,well, she really liked talking to him.


After a serious relationship for each of them,shaking them to the core,somehow...after 6 years of long yet erratic conversations...the last few months have given her the most romantic moments of her life.

Here goes some of her favourite moments...

*The first time they had a Monday morning together.It was almost as if nothing out of the two of them existed.And the time they finally saw the clock on the table,it was close to 3 p.m.

"Oh shit" he said..."do you wanna get lunch?"
And she replied..."it really doesnt look like you're interested in eating lunch out of all the things."

He teases her about that till this day.

*It was only considered natural,hell stereotypical and old fashioned...something she was a staunch believer in...let the guy woo you as those days are saved in your hard disk as the bestest moments ever.

He claimed to having "run after" her for two months. Needless to say,we need to add a sarcastic yet imaginary "Wow,thanks!!" as her reply.

So abiding the laws set by nature or man,he finally said it.
He asked her out.Or atleast he tried...at a dinner table,on the bed,in the car and in the auto.And her reply was the same..."did you just ask me out?"

It is safe,nay,neccessary to say that she drove him crazy.But the favourite moment came of this story came when he didnt expect it.

She was finally ready.And so,over a cup of cappuchino in a cafe,she asked him out.

It doesn't taste the same everytime he's not around.

*It had only been a couple of months since she had started earning.The world was hers,and she was out there to conquer it...Well,atleast by shopping.While her motif was to buy a whole new winter collection,he stood patiently by her side while she went to shop by shop in a South Delhi market on a very cold evening.

She loved him for being patient.She loved it even more when he paid for her shopping.

She thought he was a gift from god when he asked her to take him to her favourite silver jewellery shop.

And then he did the most amazing thing ever.

After buying her the most favourite ring(s) of all times,he promised to live in the hope of spending the rest of their lives together.

It was one of the most favourite evenings of her life,till date.

The couple that we refer to,still have a lot to be written about.
