Hi there :)
I love reading (DUH!!) no no seriously, I love to read every chance I have. Once I open a book, i'm in a different parallel which I'm automatically absorbed in and a "do not disturb" sign will be flashing on my forehead :P
My Passions:Apart from reading, I love writing, collaging, cooking, photography, fashion designing, interior decorating, EATING japanese food and if you want to make me really really HAPPY, give me a book accompanied with chocolates and ice cream :P
Some of My Favorite Books:- The Odyssey, Homer
- Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
- A Portrait of The Artist as A Young Man, James Joyce
- Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
- The Story of My Life, Jay McInerney
- The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R Tolkien
- Kane & Abel, Jeffrey Archer

Some of My Favorite Quotes:- "Kiss me again, but don't let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer--but yours! How can I?" - Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte.
- "'And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you--haunt me, then! The murdered DO haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts HAVE wandered on earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad! only DO not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I CANNOT live without my life! I CANNOT live without my soul!'" - Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte.
- "Love deceives the best of womankind." - The Odyssey, Homer.
- "I will speak daggers to her - but use none" - Hamlet, Shakespeare.
- "A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery." - Ulysses, James Joyce.
... I will add more when I remember some :)
To Navigate better through my Shelf:- I Plan to read: are books that I own or have borrowed but, of course, did not read yet.
- Wish List: are books that are on the way of being purchased.
My Ratings:***** "AN AMAZING" book. Reserve it over the phone before running to the bookstore.
**** "A FIIINE" book. You should totally read it. Borrow it before buying it.
*** "AN OK" book. Read it if you have the time for it.
** "I DON'T KNOW WHY I READ" book. Think 300 times before even considering reading a page or 2.
* "A NO NO" book. DON'T dare to even smell it!!
