HotSpot
Yesterday evening was not pleasant, as it was hot and skin started emitting sweat. I volunteered myself to make it pleasant. So responded my friend with a BYE and started walking towards the hunting place. I'm walking in the streets of most happening point in Chennai. It's T.Nagar, Panagal Park and my hunting arena is Booklands.

Always, I get confused with what book to select and what not to select. I feel like being the owner of that shop. I envy the workers around there. Did they know the esteem of this bookish environment, they are in? I don't know. Looks like, they are not.

My selection habit will be like this. First browse the books till I feel the pain of legs. In the mean time, I would have fixed some authors and their scripts to own myself. This time my hunt resulted in, Sujathavin Therndedutha Sirukathaigal - Part I, Vandhargal Venrargal by Madhan and Guru prashadhin Kadaisi Dhinam by Sujatha. You might ask all these are old beauties, except one. I made a slow entry to the wonders of books, so these are all my left-overs.

Happen to see Pa. Vijay's 12 book collection. All twelve books got released recently by Kalainjar Karunanidhi. Just had a look into one book. It's so artificial. Authors(not everyone) started thinking more on paper quality, clippings, front cover, models but not the depth in words. IMHO, don't write just for perks, even though it is a need.

Passed by Charu Niveditha's Konal Pakkangal(3 Parts). Once, we at our team, used to laugh at his konal pakkangal(online) in our leisure time, even though he writes in a serious mode. So didn't want to take risk, by holding it my book shelf.

Ashoka Mithran, never invested my time in his words. Something will stop me, whenever I decide to select his book. My mind will say, am I capable of grasping his content? Soon in future, my mind will stop asking this question, I believe.

Aadhavan, I've already own his all time hit, En Peyar Ramaseshan. But the result was, I used to read one line and will think for more time. I don't want to think more, so Aadhavan also didn't sit in my shopping bag. He will fill my bookshelf, if I become a meatured reader.

A special mention goes to Raja sir, Booklands people played Thiruvasagam in the backdrop. Yes, Music is a best medicine. My leg pain reduced a bit.

I'm in the mid of my hunting. Suddenly, someone touched me and said, Sir Closing hour. Wonder. Bookshop is closing by 8 PM. They are disappointing book lovers. Who knows, they might be rushing home to see Selvi, Kanvarukkaga, etc..

P.S: I used 16 I in this post. Am I boasting? ( cha, ingayum two I.. What's the remedy? )
