Booked for reading
like most booklovers, this diarist too cannot put a good book down. So from Versova Metro, where this diarist starts her commute to work, to Lower Parel, where she alights, her head is lost in delicious pages.

The latest treat was Irving Stone’s Agony and the Ecstacy, Michelangelo’s fictional biography. Lostin the world of Duomo, David, and the Pieta, she bumped into a ticket checker at Lower Parel. “I have been noticing you every day. If I see you reading a book one more time, I’ll charge you a fine. Chalke koi padhta hai? (Who reads while walking?),” she asked. While we don’t promise to stop this habit, we’ll surely keep an eye out for the ticket checker!
