The Story Of Life

The Story Of Life

Summer Holiday Fun with Books!

Reading for me is a compulsive hobby. It not only expands the mind's horizon but also gives an insight into a world different than ours. 

We feel and learn through the characters' emotional journey. It's a door to immense knowledge and entertainment.

And since summer holidays have begun and it's time to indulge in some quality activities and ample reading with my kid. I have decided to go through these precious childhood moments through my child's eyes :)

First, let's go Vintage and why not! There is a whole treasure chest waiting to be opened. Here is my favourite -

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer  by Mark Twain

The topsy-turvy, witty and thrilling journey of an orphan with the spice of relationships highlighting the path. The sweet nuances of a kid's understanding of the world and the urge to explore it, is so well presented by the author that one but falls in love with the characters in the book.

Second one, is our very own evergreen author, Ruskin Bond,

The Whistling Schoolboy and other stories of school life

This one is a collection of episodes from the school life of a boy. All the interesting moments of a boarding school, encounters with eccentric characters, the Principal, the school nurse, friends and other such adventures, am sure will make it a joyful read.

 The third one is, The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie.

Agatha Christie has always been my all time favourite author. This one will be my comfort read. I have already read all the Poirot's cases, so now why not a few of Miss Marple's cases!

That's all for the week!

List THREE books that you want to read in the coming weeks... with your reasons. Will you consider reading habits that go beyond text-books as the real education?

The Nightly Desires

Inspired by Rekha ji's post April- Happy National Poetry Month !!!!

I thought of writing one poem too. This one is a humourous take on the habit of midnight snacking.
