A self confident person who believes that things just don’t happen, you have to make them happen, what matter is not only the ends but also the means. I believe that there are no shortcuts in the life and there is only one way to success through “ sheer hard work”. Thus the keyword is the quality effort in the right direction with the right dedication.
The above was a small summary about me..
I am a book addict. I am surrounded by thousands of books that I collect: NW literature, specific authors that I love, mysteries, books about books, reading and literary criticism, lots of poetry, fiction, memoirs, and romantic suspense, just to name a few. Children's books, with wonderful stories and illustrations, also represent a significant part of my collection. I use the library extensively, often to try books out before I indulge.
I connect frequently with many friends that share my reading/book passion. While I spend a lot of time with friends, enjoying good food, art, stimulating conversation, playing competitive Scrabble, and games in general, I love solitude. I'm addicted to gardening, and prefer beach for a vacation (where I can read). I love to cook, especially ethnic food(ONLY WHEN TIME PERMITS). I love putting fine jigsaw puzzles together. I love music, particularly classical (Mozart's Requiem my passion), Leonard Cohen, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and k. d. lang, to name just a few.
Here are some personality descriptives enthusiastically contributed by friends and family: eccentric, passionate, weird, flamboyant, curious, outrageous, intense, emotional (translate moody), fun, quiet (paradox), enthusiastic, and, best of all, I laugh loudly.
"My Shelf" contains both books I own and those I have read from the library, friends, or have traded. "My Reading List" contains those books that I am reading or will be soon.
Additional to it I am with a corporate organisation and is a book lover..Earlier I was a complete geek and book worm.. Now due to my schedule I have planned in a different way and I try spare sometime for reading books..
Basically additional to reading books I like to meditate, go for long tours..
Hope I have the best community to share the thoughts/book shelf with me.
PLEASE NOTE: I want my Shelfari friendships to have meaning, based on shared interests or experiences, and some similar book areas. I am interested in a friend having a bookshelf that stimulates my curiosity, to which I want to return. I appreciate someone who is active on the site, and will communicate with me about books, life and, perhaps, world issues. If you have joined Shelfari, shared your profile, shelved books (enough that I can determine your areas of passion), and you send me a note telling me what motivated you to request a friendship, I will be happy to become your friend. I WILL NOT ACCEPT A FRIENDSHIP WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION.
