While looking for a gift ,I stumbled over the old favourites and a window in the mind opened up and transported me to my dreamy days ....those were such wonderful days...my favourite movies .....all time special favourites .....Movies..Roman Holiday,The Sound Of Music,serendipity,you've got Mail,Sleepless in Seattle,Holiday,Beatrice Potter,Freedom Writers,Notting hill.
Well,the love for books .....I do not know where or when it started ....may be with my Grandmothers stories.....but from when I could read I took to books ...they are my all time companions ,I was always
Curled up with a book....I donot know whether it was escaping from reality....or opening up all the windows of the mind.Each book became a part of me ,believe it or not I never liked when I finished
Reading a book.All the characters became my own family.And my collection of books grew ,I own a sizeable library.Some characters are my all time favourites .....I love all the Jane Austen books....
Favourite being Pride and prejudice.....Jane Eyre.....Loved the character of Jane.....so much of strength of character,patience,tenacity,clarity of thought.All the books of Charles Dickens......Miss Havisham of Great expectation....Christmas Carol....David of David Copperfield.All the fairy tales...Just all of them.Shylock from The Merchant Of Venice....I used to feel so much pain for this character.....probably because he was prosecuted by the whole society.....and he was so alone...
Shakespeare of course all his work. Elie Wiesel ...Night ....this book I read in a mall sitting in the corner of McDonalds.I just could not put it away without finishing.
High ...School /College used to read all the Barbara Cartland. and Mills and boons.absolutely not ashamed of it....I think it helps your English.
Spiritual books were my Food.The companion was .....Kathamrita or The Gospel of Ramakrishna.
Bible....after Jesus my favourite was Job.All saints specially the life of St.Francis of Assissi,St.Padre pio,St.Anthony of Padua.St.Theresa of Avila.........
Sunder Gutka.....Sukhmani Saheb.Tagore and SaratChandra chatterjee.
SPECIAL MENTION SHOULD BE MADE TO SISTER CHRISTINE OF THE RAMAKRISHNA
MISSION SHE WAS A DISCIPLE OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA .
Ramcharit Manas and Geeta ,is a must for me.
Love to create a corner for God in my room,Yes ,He is every where ....but I like a place in the room to Honour Him.Love flowers ...specially Mogras......actually all flowers and plants and trees.Love Nature....wherever I may be I have to have a Tulsi plant.Love putting incense in my room,dhoop.love blowing the shankho.Love rain,rainbow,the season of Advent.Love Bengali and Chinese food.At the
Moment boiled vegetables.the sea,to watch the sky by night.People of all shapes and
Sizes,Animals.Love Life.pure cotton to wear,white my favourite colour,I smile all the time and love to bring a smile to every lips that I see.ActuallyLove everything ,Love life and Living.
Peace be to all.Shalom.
