something so not 'Purna'

Hi friends after a long time I am trying to blog something today but as usual i am very confused. There are too many things going on in my mind, I don’t know where to start from. So let’s begin from something interesting ………

I have news for people who know me very well! Can you imagine me and books? I guess no coz it’s so not ‘Purna’ when I am reading a book, right?

Yes its true I have started getting hooked to books now and the first book I read was ‘one night at a call center’ by chetan bhagat. It all stared when both Divya and Suparna started discussing about the books they read. Me and Dolly were left clueless and did not know what to do. They talked about many books and how they felt after reading it. I too wanted to join them in the conversation but did not have much to talk about so I thought I too must read some books so that I too cloud talk about it and share my experience.

One day Suparna bought a comic book 'Calvin and Hobbies' to office and I started reading it. I liked it very much and wanted to read more but the book belonged to Suparna and so I cloud not complete it. Then one day when I was with Rahul I saw a book in his car. He had not finished the book but still I picked it up and started reading it. It was my first book and I soon got hooked to it.

I took every opportunity that I found to complete the book. Even in office I finished my work as soon as I cloud and ran to take my place in the cabin and read the book. Everyone in the office were surprised to see me reading it so interestingly. They all laughed and told me “it was so not 'Purna' to see me reading a book!”

But soon I finifshed the book and my quest for reading had increased and I wanted to read more. Suparna got me my second book. It was short stories by Ruskin Bond. And I grabbed it greedily and stared reading it.

I always wondered how can people read so much, sitting in one place for hours with their eyes hooked to the pages of the book, without even bothering to lift up their heads to see what’s going on around them. I felt why does one need a book when there are hundreds of movies to watch and a lot more to do on the net but now I have the answer. When I stared reading I realize
