I've been reading a lot
these days, finished 6 books in the last 20 days. These phases come and go. In my
current state of inaction, I try to fill up the void with books, to occupy my
mind, to divert it from more disturbing thoughts, and sometimes to learn as well.
On the big billion day
by Flipkart, I went on a book shopping spree. So I bought about 20 books in the
last month alone. I am not sure if I will read them all, but I hope that
they'll be a part of library I plan to build some day. This library will contain books mainly on India, Cricket and Mythology. Here's the list:
