One More Weekend With Books

Last week end,i had time to read 2 books. Both are of the author "Sudha Murthy".

One is "The Day I stopped Drinking Milk".
This was disappointed me because i expected something more.
But this is the experiences of the author.
Some were really good. I liked "Secret lessons of life", "Story of three ponds" and "Bombay to Bangalore".
From these things, we can understand the helping nature of the author and her interests in travel and history.
Little learning was there.

And the other book is "Dollar Bahu". The story was not a different one, it was almost like so many stories whatever i have read in my mother tongue. But still i liked the story and explanation.
I liked Vinuta's character and its simplicity.
Sudha Murthy is always fond of the flowers "Bakula" and "Parijatha", i observed this in all her novels which i read. But still the explanation was nice.
In this also, i observed, mostly the beauty of north Karnataka was explained more.
I was thinking why she is explaining more about that. But even if i start to write something, first i will think from my native's perspective only. That is not because we want to boast. But we can explain nicely what we know about something in detail.

Thanks to Sudha Murthy for these books..

Happy Week ahead..

Thats the way we met

Last weekend i have read a novel named "That's the way we met"
For about 150 pages, there is no difference in story
In 50th page i was thinking, till now what had happened "Two loving couples are having good time"
In 100 th page  i was thinking, till now what had happened "Two loving couples are having good time"
In 150 th page also, i felt  "Two loving couples are having good time" :)
Till end, i dint understand the relationship between the title and the story.
The beauty of Mumbai and North India is explained nicely.

I think that this story is continuation of the author's first novel. I have to read and try to understand.

Anyhow, i had a good time.
This was long weekend for festival.

Diwali wishes!!!
Be happy and Enjoy.

Gently Falls the Bakula

I enjoyed last week end, by reading the book "Gently Falls the Bakula" by Sudha Murthy.
The story and narration was very nice..
Story goes like, two young intelligent students are getting married by affection and how they are leading their life together..
Sudha Murthy's knowledge about Indian history is quite interesting i felt, that is what reflected through the character "Shrimathi".
I liked so many things in this story.. Liked Shrimathi's character so much..
Liked the narration about north Karnataka
I was not knowing why there is separate name called "North Karnataka", there was a historical, yes i can say, explanation for that..
After reading this novel, i am tempted to visit "North Karnataka". Need to plan for a trip.
And want to have that "Dharwad Peda". Though i am in Bangalore for around 5 years, i have never tasted this sweet.
Need to search in some sweet shops.

Other than these things, the subject of the story also was good, i can say it as very good..
How Indian ladies are sacrificing their interests and aims for their family and husband's success..
Kudos to all those great women, who is not even remembered as a helping person by the family members themselves.
Thanks to Sudha Mrthy.

Life is Simple and for a small time.. We need to live it for our own interests..
Be Happy!!

Dustbin Baby

Yesterday, i completed my reading of the book "Dustbin Baby"
When i was having a look at one book stall, this book was there in kids' section.
I thought that this will come under kids' reading.. But after reading this book, understood not for kids.
This is a story about an abandoned little baby "April" who has been put into dustbin, as soon as she born.
"April" the name indicates her birth month.
The story goes as, "April" is trying to found out her real mother on her "14 th Birthday". She is going and seeing near to the dustbin, where she heard as she was taken from.
This is good illustration about the kids in "care houses", about their mentality, their difficulties.
I really liked this book and after long time, it gave me lots of social thoughts.

Thanks to Jacqueline Wilson.

We are having responsibility to give good family and society to our kids.. And that will lead to healthier world.

Be Happy!!!

Pooja

Yesterday we had holiday for "Dussehra"
I wanted to celebrate in my home.
This is the first time, i am taking step forward to celebrate something on my own.
It was nice experience..

This rose was the first person who gave me "Nice Wishes" for Dussehra with very cute smile (At least i felt that it wished me).

 The Pooja we did...

It was very nice experience..
Happy Dussehra!!!

 Be Happy!!!

Nice Narration... Nice Titles...

I completed my reading of the novel "Tea for two and a piece of cake"
I really have no clear idea of what i am feeling about the story, because it left so many feelings.
But one thing is clear to me, i din't understand the lifestyle of people like "Nisha" till now.
Apart from this, i really loved the titles of each topic.
And i really liked the narration of the story, it took my eyes towards the book continuously.

I have never heard any good English songs.. or may be i dint aware or i dint get a chance..
i liked the songs whatever she has written in words..

I loved these lines:

"Trust in me in all you do
  Have the faith I have in you
  Love will see us through
  if only you trust in me
  Why don't you, you trust me?
  Come to me when things go wrong"

Planning to check for these kind of English songs..
Thanks to Preeti Shenoy for giving me nice weekend and awareness of these songs.

Be Happy!!!

Kids are always Kids...

One nice thing about my Bangalore life is, the people i got to know from different regions of India.
I got a nice Punjabi family as my friends..
I know them for around 4 years. I came to know about so much of their culture and hardwork.
Last weekend, their kid ( who always calls me "Dheedhi" with so much passion and i like that so much) celebrated his birthday.
As soon as i entered, i was able to see the excitement in his face, as if he has achieved all the things in life ( Of course.. for him every small thing is achievement only).
Our relationship lives even though we don't understand each others language very well..
Always there will be a water drop in his eye, while i leave.. this time too...
I really had very nice weekend with them.
Here's the pics..

I wish he should get many more happy returns like this..
Happy birthday Harmeet...

Be a kid, to be happy always.. :-)
