And the stork brought ...
9 books for Rs. 18/- !!!
The following members joined the now prosperous D company, courtesy some generosity by a bookshop, some hyperenthusiasm from a new team mate and one cute kid and of course, thanks to the good lord above.
Norwegian Wood by Murakami
Hardboiled Wonderland and the end of the World by Murakami
Param Vir by Maj. Ian Cardoso
Dubliners by James Joyce
India: A Million Mutinies by VS Naipaul
India: A Wounded Civilization by VS Naipaul
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson
Football's Strangest Matches by Andrew Ward
Something like an autobiography by Kurosawa
The 3rd book above is perhaps my pick of the lot. It describes the story of all the Param vir Chakra awardees since the inception of the award. I remembered the stories of Albert Ekka and Maj. Somnath Sharma from the TV programme, but the rest are not so fresh in my memory. This book shall serve its purpose.
As always, any Sunday which begins with a long run must end well. So did y'day after a rather tepid outing at the Odyssey on Republic Day. Of course, the deal for Rs. 18 above would have been impossible w/o the coupons ;)

The fifth and the sixth books are great books too. A million mutinies now is one of my favorites. But I should also mention that Naipaul is like god to me as far as writing goes - at least for now :)
added the 3rd in the trilogy.
will be reading each of them soon
