Novels-My Passion

U might b wondering how people can be passionate about books,but,in my case,novels are my passion,I love them.I've always been a voracious reader.
This hobby of mine started in early days of schooling where I used to read comics like Pinky,Chacha Chowdary,Tinkle etc.Especially ,I used to associate myself with the character 'Pinky' n have read almost the entire pinky series.I used to tell those stories to my sister,Ragini and she used to love them.I even wanted to have a baby cut hair style with different colour hair bands like pinky but my mom didnt agree to it :-D..I wasn't a good student then and all I ever did then was read comics,story books like champak,bed time stories, other little stories and had one of them in my school bag too.I remember reading 'Ramayana for children' 20 times..... As I came to high school,we had non-detailed books in english like Trojan war,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,Great Expectations,The Hound of the Baskervilles,Treasure Island.I used to read all these books in the summer holidays which meant the non-detailed classes in school were spent re-reading them.I remember in class 10, my best friend,Sreedevi and me were Dr.Watson and Sherlock Holmes of our group.. :-D ..
We also wanted to run a detective agency ..we were so childish then.. :-D.


My mother had original versions of the books Pride and Prejudice ,David Copperfield and many other books and I was lucky to read them all...The characters in these books were like real-life ones and were very interesting..We even got first prize in a drama competition in our school for enacting 'Happy Painter' from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Then came the Harry Potter series which are probably my favorite books so far..Hatsoff to J.K.Rowling whose imagination is beyond anyone's expectations..At a point of time,I was so much addicted to these books that all I did the whole day was reading them..Similarly,I also like the Twilight series,Nancy Drew,Famous Five series and Dan Brown's works..The book 'Men are from Mars,Women are from Venus' is very informative and I suggest everyone to read it..Books by our Indian authors like Rabindranath
Tagore,Sharathchandra,R.K.Narayan,Chetan Bhagat are great.. My only remorse is that I've not been able to complete 'The Fountainhead' and will definitely do it one of these days..

Novels have always been my best chums because whenever I feel lonely or moody ,I just read one of them and easily forget my worries.They keep me busy all the time and are my obsession.Novels not only give interesting stuff to read but also good messages to the readers.You can always learn something very useful in terms of behavior,society,feelings and what not,everything..My dream is to have my own library and will definitely achieve it :) ...

My first blog !!

This is my first blog and I spent the last two hours wondering what it should be about.In my opinion,a blog must be straight from the heart and topics like my life,college weren't appealing..I was just wondering whether I must postpone this work when, with a jolt, i knew that it has to be about none other than -my father...Smiling to myself,I began writing and words came rushing...
My father,Dr.C.P.C.Kumar,is my favourite person.I have always been a father's pet which means I was pampered a little more than my sister,who was my mom's pet :-D ..As a little girl,I always had special privileges like sitting beside him during dinner,going to shops with him everyday,getting a new pencil box every week and so on..I was a very silent child and it was only my father who always knew what was going on in my mind.He used to prompt me to talk and I always found myself talking about everything.He never allowed others to scold me,be it my mother or my teachers.He never fussed over my marks but was really keen about me participating in all competitions.My dad also helped me become the proud owner of a rose garden in my backyard.He is my lucky maskot n am his lucky mascot too ...
As years passed,I developed new hobbies like reading which kept me busy most of the time.I also started spending more time on myself,with my mom,friends which meant I no longer spent quality time with my father.I was in my own world and after some time,I confined myself only to my room where I was either on phone or was studying.This didn't go unnoticed by my dad but he never said a word.I used to come out of my room only to eat and even then I was absent minded and never tried to talk to him .Some daughter I was ! As time changed,evrything changed and I gradually became a silent, lone person.I lost my self-confidence and became a stoic.I was not in contact with any of my friends and most of them(except 3-4 people) gave up on me eventually.One of my best friends advised me to change but I didn't budge.One such day,when I was traveling with my family,lost in thoughts,I was startled to see that someone was trying to talk to me and was changing topics as if to see which one would make me smile.It was my father!!I've ignored him all these days.. I was lost for words and tears started rolling down.My father didn't react to this but he stopped talking and gave an understanding smile.It was then that I realized that to him I am always the little girl with whom he didn't need words to communicate.How could I ever feel lonely???.The next day,I locked my room and started spending more time with my family.I came back to myself and am once again the person I used to be.Things changed and I am back with my friends too and more importantly with my father.Now in the evenings,if anyone of u drops in to my house,u can find me chatting away with my father or watching a cricket match with him ... :)
