A book for my soul

I am in my best mood to blog and it is such a shame that I cant install myanmar font in my work computer to pour out my thoughts.

Been reading books constantly for quite a while now. Jurong Library is near by and membership costs only 10 dollar. A cool deal indeed. You can borrow maximum 6 books for 3 weeks.

I love library. I love the quiet and peaceful ambience. I love hearing the sound of flipping pages. I love walking around the library and randomly choosing the books.  I love bookworms , nerds and geeks.  One of my life long dream inspired by my dad, is to build my own libary in neighbourhood wherever I am in my retired days.  Well, It is not even a dream. It is a determination. My habit which is collecting books and journals, has to be kept under control due to huge space demand of my small rented room in Singapore. Nevertheless, I still have some good collection with me that I take big pride for.

So I was browsing thru the random book racks in fiction selections and spotted this book.

"The Mango Season"

The story was very heart warming, luscious, halirious and strong. It is about a modern indian girl who was born and raised in idia for 20 years and studied in US in her late teen ages. After coming back from 7 years stay in US, She found India to be a hellhole. She was stuck between old conservative culture and modern age.

I can share her emotion as her folks are much alike our folks back home. :) Arakan folks.  I started to check out her website and her books. Only 5 books are out and I am aiming to get her third release,
"Serving Crazy With Curry".  Sounds great, huh??



Mango Season, Serving crazy with curry... I love how she uses food as titles.. me like.. hehe. Makes me feel hungry for more of her books.

Here is her pic for admiring purpose.
