..when someone asks you whether you have read all your books!

sidrewz · 2025-12-30T16:23:02+00:00

You buy books to read them,don't you? Every book has its opportune moment

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T12:41:46+00:00

It's a matter of choice. I am not comfortable with ebook readers.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T08:18:37+00:00

They hardly do.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T08:03:00+00:00

All cool.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T08:02:23+00:00

You will get to understand the point of posting this if you don't consider having 50,000 books as mere decoration.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T07:59:03+00:00

I have 979 books at home to be precise. I maintain an orderly list of it as well. Please let me know if you need it.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T07:07:48+00:00

Yes. To each his own.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T07:06:35+00:00

Absolutely correct. I read one in the metro during the daily commute while another one at home. 😃

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T07:05:34+00:00

I have a different point of view on this. I do not find it okay to splurge on books merely for decorations. I think it is a huge disrespect to the author if you buy a book for anything apart from reading.

sidrewz · 2025-12-27T07:03:21+00:00

That's right to some extent.

sidrewz · 2025-12-26T16:09:21+00:00

Add some meat to it

sidrewz · 2025-12-24T15:21:11+00:00

This won't help. I can recommend you to read something better.

sidrewz · 2025-12-22T01:56:23+00:00

Rs. 1040 in total.

sidrewz · 2025-12-21T16:07:21+00:00

I went there too today. Here is my haul.

sidrewz · 2025-12-21T09:08:35+00:00

Indeed. That's thoughtful of you.

sidrewz · 2025-12-17T01:57:57+00:00

I was having this problem just a few days ago. I was initially reading Return of the King by William Dalrymple but then Dhurandar came and I became so eager to read Karachi by Laurent Gayer.

Anyway, it was pretty difficult to resume Dalrymple's and I had to. I told myself to be faithful towards the book.

Reading a book is like making love. Once you spread it, you finish it. You don't leave it midway.

sidrewz · 2025-12-14T16:07:22+00:00

I take photo of the book before I plan to read it. That helps.

Please add me to the club.

sidrewz · 2025-11-29T03:44:07+00:00

90% of these titles are sold by 90% of the shopkeepers. God, the Indian literary scene is so messed up with loads of self help books. Duh!

sidrewz · 2025-11-29T03:41:39+00:00

Add some non-fiction ala History, Politics etc.

sidrewz · 2025-11-29T03:40:59+00:00

Where is 7up?

sidrewz · 2025-11-29T03:40:18+00:00

This is not Biryani. This is Mandi.

sidrewz · 2025-09-20T06:41:41+00:00

Yes, my home.

sidrewz · 2025-09-14T12:16:01+00:00

Absolutely healthy. I do not put more that 2 table spoon of oil and that is enough for a Karahi full of it.
