"Tag"-of-War :-)

Well Nikhil, you wish is fulfilled.. Belatedly though, but I am finally obliging you by getting tagged :-)..

I have never been an avid reader.. Although my father had a full fledged library at our home, replete with books on virtually any topic under the sun.. I could never push my lazy self into delving into the literary world during my childhood.. But my appetite for reading has increased many fold of over the last 4 years.. 2 people, one a very close friend; and another someone I have met only twice; have been the major influencers in converting to a book lover..

I believe in start-to-finish reading.. Always prefer to finish a book as soon as I can.. Never been one who would continue reading a book in bits and pieces over weeks and months.. Hence, a train journey is my favorite reading environment..

Enough of ruminations... Now let’s get down to business..
