It's Worth A Try. You Never Know

Eventhough I wished, I was not able to spend time with the books I got from my Libary(http://justbooksclc.com). Most of the time, I get home late, play with my daughter and then  dive onto bed. And I did not find it easly to read them in my Office cab(I spend about 2-3 hrs every day). And during weekends I always find better ways to spend my time. keeping reading miles aways. But I always knew I was missing something and I always wondered if there was a ways I could read something I like to in a way that I would enjoy in my current lifestyle.

My research provided me with two options. First was the E-Books (.PDF's) and the second was Audio books(MP3's on iPOd). Both of them exicted me. But, I was still wondering if I can really enjoy them as I would enjoy reading a Print book. First I started with an E-Book and I found this option really intresting. Because in a day, most of the time I used to spend in front of a computer and it was easly for me to read it when ever I got some timeout. Having read about two E-Books, I was now planning to try the Audio-books option. And to do this I picked up 'The Broker' by John Grisham.

When I started, I used to listen to the Audio book when I was communiting in my office cab. But, after sometime, when the story turned intresting, I could not resist myslelf and also started spending time with the E-book version. This also ensured that every leisure time I had was spend on something I liked.  And after this, the next book I tried was 'The Firm' again by  John Grisham. Even this book was read(E-book) and listened(Audio-book) to.

And today I do believe that this is one of the best options I have if I wish to read the books I like and would suit my current lifestyle. In other words, I would like to say It's worth a try. You never know what would work best for you.

A Walk - Not Often Taken

It was a sunday and bro wanted us to make a visit to Chickpet(the wholesale maket for sarees, textiles and dress materials). I think the last time I had visited this place was few years back for my wedding shopping( mostly people in b'lore visit this place only for their wedding shopping).

As none of us had any other plans for the day, we all (the entire family) decided to  make a visit to Chickpet. As after our b'fast we drove down to Avenue road hoping to find some place to park our car. But, as expected it was a No-Parking zone. Our next try was BVK Iyengar road. But, again we went out of luck. Left with no other options we got onto a narrow lane hoping to park our car somewhere. But, just after wet got into the narrow lane we got a feeling that it was a real bad idea. Coz, there were a bunch of vehicles following us and there were cattle walking down those narrow lanes. Now more than parking, it was more important for us to somehow get out of those lanes. Finally we got to hit back on Avenue road. It was a big relief to escape from those narrow lanes. But, we were sill hunting for some parking space. Finally we took a long drive toward the jail road and finally found some space to park our car.

It was a good 2km walk for us to finally reach Chickpet. But with the kids and family members walking together, we did not actually realize the distance. And then it was the place which never seems to have changed even a bit since the last time I had visited. There was the usual chaos and packed streets. Packed with humans,cattle and sales men. It was tough to walk straight on those streets. You need to be really careful with your belongings on these steeets. But, once you are in this crowd, u become a part of it and slowly u get used to it. Even though we did not do any major shopping, but we did get lucky to get some good deals which made this visit make some sense. It was a walk not taken often, but I still believe it was a visit which can stay in my momories for sometime.
