Books

Remember Amar Chitra Katha, Superman, Phantom, Gokulam, Chacha Chaudary, Chandamama, Misha, Target (the last two, am not sure If anyone remembers em or read em. I was a regular reader.)

Comics @schools were coveted. For that matter any book but comics were there right on top of the list. You could trade it for anything in a hostel. The more number of comics the richer you were in the convent. OK I know you got the picture.

I miss reading a lot. The total absorption in a book, unmindful of the hours passing by, no lunch, no dinner just nothing till the book got over. Guess , this comes under some sort of fanaticism.

Some books that were totally in demand- David Copperfield, All Comics, Anne of Green Gables, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women.

And there were long lines before you got your hand on any of the books.

Remember reading David Copperfield back to front.
And my first experience of a book was a comic in telugu on Krishna. Vividly remember reading it in lamplight coz there was no power.

You do have weird experiences If you grow up in a convent. Things that day scholars take for granted, are coveted.

Bitter Twitter..

My understanding of twittering is its an ultra mini blogging, syndication whatever. And it does help me keeping track of a couple of frens.
Well, thts my reason of twittering.

I dont understand how people follow over 100's of people. Dont they get irritated with so many posts err...tweets on their page???
And I definitely can never get people updating every hour, every day. oh c'mon....

Well, each to his own.

And no offense to anyone. Just posting my feelings after unfollowing someone on Twitter. Got fed up with the number of mindless updates.

And dont read too much into the heading. just had it thr for the sake of rhyming.

And ... thts it. the end of the post.

my Experiments with Blogger

Been experimenting a lot these days. tried a couple of templates before zeroing in on this one. Chose this one cause of its simplicity, neat colors, and nice background.

In the coming days you might come aross several changes. Will be changing and experimenting untill am satisfied. Meanwhile , I look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

I tried adding a flickr widget by Roytanck, but unfortunately didnt work. Trying to solve it. In the mean while if you know what could be the solution , please leave a comment.
