sudden decisions

i like to take decisions lately or say suddenly. the same thing happened three days back. i was in office till 8.30pm, and suddenly i thought i will goto sringeri. (actually the plan of going there was pending from many days in the mind) fine, i called up the aunt in sringeri (a near by village near sringeri) and told her i may come to their home. fine, after that left office at around 9pm and went home. my sister wanted to take a picture of her son and mail the photo to her sister-in-law who is in usa. i had to take the pictures, download it and send that. after that had dinner and told everyone that i will goto sringeri (it was around 10pm then). as usual they told ok. i packed up my luggage, went out of the home. it was raining like hell. no umbrella in our house. but i decided to stick to the decision. so, ran to near by bus stand (some 100-150mts) by then i was little wet. i asked those guys and they told bus to sringeri just left. i caught a auto and reached ksrtc bus stand. there also there were no direct buses to sringeri. i caught a bus to chickmagalur, and from there went to sringeri.
i liked this trip especially because i was alone most of the time. on saturday went and saw sringeri temple. on sunday morning left early from aunt's house and caught a bus to karkala and from there went to m'lore. after going there, met paddu and had lunch in their home only. later in evening went to beach. it was nice fun. after coming back, had icecream in pabba's. left m'lore around 10pm.
totally to summarise it was surely a nice trip. travelled more than 800kms in 2.5 days.

... just like that

Hmm, its been a long since I updated this space. Very busy these days. Haven't read any book in last 40+ days.. Got net @home. Decided to reduce the sleeping hours, and work on different things. Have to plan out strategies to use my weekends properly to cover most of the places. I think, I will be updating this place regularly from now onwards. Thats all for now.. bye bye..

Books

Where ever I go, I feel nice if I meet people who are interested in Books. Somehow I have become crazy about books these days. I don't just buy books, but read them too. Last month the book count in my personal library crossed half century.
When I started reading books, it was mostly fictions. (Initially 'Crime', 'Spy' and similar magzines published in kannada language). Later Started reading Yandamoori's novels, was very excited by his style of writing those days (JNVG library had some too). But when I read some of Sydney sheldon and Jeffrey's books I found he copied their stuff upto a large extent, and lost interest in his books.
Later when I started wondering much about life and people, I found ShivaramKarantha and SLByrappa as the Great writers. Their books somehow interests me always.
I read one of GeorgeOrwell's book, later AynRand's FountainHead etc. Liked them. Now reading 'CrimeAndPunishment' of FyodorDostoevsky. Its a good book, I should say.
I wrote all these info here to tell you that, we see life in our own way if we don't get a idea how others see it. To get the idea about how others see it, reading books is the way. So, whoever it is I recommend reading books (so you build reading habbit, after sometime you will be able to judge which is good and which is bad). I noticed one more good thing with reading habbit, people start thinking in a broad outlook, which reduces lot of problems: personal, professional etc.

What do you say? So, now you can suggest me some good books you have read and ask me for some :-)
