I didn't think they would send me. They said they can't find my address. But thankyou regardless, from an ardent reader of The Hindu!

Now I understand what the people under my first post were trying to tell me.

Rarely, people remember what you do for them. I did all those things which he mentioned because that was normal for me to do and that's something I wouldn't remember. But he remembered it and made sure to let me know when he could have just tried to act cool, and brushed it off. They say children are more emotionally honest than adults. And I guess that must be true.

And after reading it, I cried buckets. Those words sure reached somewhere deep within me.

My cousin who's 13 years old and equally 13 years younger than me wished me Mother's Day.

It's cute although I don't feel much about it. But I really don't know if I have done anything to receive such message. I really have no idea.

I was in class 6th when I read my first novel, Great Expectations, a non-detailed version, which was in our school curriculum. I joined late and they didn't have the novel so I had it xeroxed. I couldn't stop myself from reading it, exceeding what was in the syllabus for the current term. I didn't know that there was a full-fledged novel but when I saw the novel in that book store when I went to Kolkata, I went frenzy and told my parents to buy me that novel. And ever since I've been collecting novels, mostly classics, like 1 or 2 books a year, not many! Also I'm more of a fiction lover because I don't like being served on a silver platter. I plan to buy more and I wish to read more! It just brings me so much joy!
