Hurray!

Hurray!! This is my 50th post. Though people wanted to celebrate ;)))) in a big way by putting up banners and poster like the one which held in kancheepuram ( pls dont ask what it is , i expect everyone to be well-informed, athukkum mela engathukku auto llam varappadathu illayonno ) i modestly discouraged them . Ennatha irunthalum enakku tharpugazhchillam pidikkathu.

So, iam giving myself a pat on the cheek and a big hug........(cos iam a lazy one, so 50 post ezhuthinathe periya vishayam illaya). I know there are people who have been blogging for years together, aana avalta ellam naama kittaye poga mudiyaathu, etho nammala mudinjathu.

Went to the landmark sale, but i was unable to find good books ( to be true books at all) on phonics . Now-a-days these schools follow the curriculum based on the phonics, but publishers are yet to come out with good books on the subject. The ones which i found were just the name-sake ones. But, i picked few story books for my kid and a book on "facts".
I also picked few R.K.Narayan books , though read them in library i always wanted to own them.
Always i wanted to own a huge library, and i have just started to pursue it in a small way. Whenever i go out i just pick out books for my kids. Now, i have close to around 100 books. Needless , to say it occupies major space in my house. About 90% are story books for my kid which are in easy to read language. Rest of them are my collections. This is apart from our professional books which constitutes 3 sacks. I hate to keep them in sacks but lack of space forces us to keep them. I always wanted to have my own study room with huge display racks as in libraries.

Wish all of you a happy and safe deepavali.

P.S - Still deepavali purchase is pending . Enga aathukarar atleast saturday kku munnadiyavathu vaangi kudupparunnu nenaikkiren. (I already have a pattu saree from my father , but paavam my kid)
