The Sunday Haul and Two Milestones


A little more than a week ago, that is, the end of July marked two milestones- one major and the second, a minor milestone. The major milestone is that I’ve completed five years of this blog and I am so awed at it that I am at a loss for words which is another way of saying that there isn’t anything more I am going to write on this post other than a couple of short paragraphs.

The second milestone is that I’ve completed three months as the No.2 in the office. The journey has been pretty interesting because I’ve come dangerously close to being No. 1.1 for a couple of weeks. However, more about this in the next post because being No. 2 isn’t leaving much time for me to write on this blog or read. Last Sunday I had to go to office and could go to Abids only in the afternoon. Because of the Ramzan shopping the regular shops were open and there were few booksellers on the pavements. Nevertheless, along with Uma and Srikant I went around and managed to pick up a second copy of ‘Ten Novels and Their Authors’ by Somerset Maugham.
