Trying to tame the beasts

Those were the times I'm slowly getting over the Super mom syndrome :)) Getting some free time from my motherly responsibilities as our kiddoo started going to school. And my world felt suddenly empty. I really don't know what to do with my life anymore at that time. :P  I was so absorbed watching my little angel grow. Those initial 4-5 years I was totally absent to myself and if I look back, all I remember was him and only him.

So it's almost a decade ago I placed my first order to Flipkart. I ordered a couple of books along with Penguin's "Anna Karenina". The book was a beast :)) It was so long, I wondered if I could ever finish reading it. Moreover it's been so long since I've read anything other than academic stuff. By that time Fiction has become a total stranger to me. :) 

So whenever he went to school I used to read that book. You know what, in exactly 1 month 15 days I finished reading it. I was (and still am) a slow reader by the way. Today as I was exploring my hard copies I found this beside another couple of beasts. Even though I've read so many books, it's been so long since I read any Big books. There is a pleasure in reading big books. It is like living the same romance again and again for a long time :P

This year I've decided to tame a couple of beasts. They are literally rotting in my shelf since long time. :)) Waiting for me to pick them up. Like the damsels in distress waiting for their true love kiss. :)) Happy Friday folks.
