I wrote about my happy book yesterday. I have read so many books that make me sad – mostly they are the stories where humans turned on humans; they are the stories of human power gone wrong; where humans forgot their humanism and were motivated by man made differences like caste, creed, colour and race!…

Day 5 – A book that makes me happy
I have a lot of feel good books – books that make me feel warm, fuzzy and happy! Most of these books are human stories having a happy ending. There are some authors who write happy books. They are called chick-lit, light, airy books, good for a read on the beach or on holidays. I…
Day 4 – Favourite book of favourite series

Day 28 – If I win a million dollars!
At one point of time, million dollars was a lot of money. People dreamt about having that amount of money and plans for what they would do if they laid their hands upon it. How times have changed? These days million dollars would barely buy you a house in Sydney. If you want to live…
