The Diary of a young girl - by Anne Frank, is the book which I am currently reading. I have just started reading it and completed about 15% of the book. I thought of writing a post after I have completely read it. But I could not resist writing about it. So here it is.
According to me, the book is a masterpiece, the narration of Anne Frank is so beautifully crafted, its not to be missed.
I remember having an excerpt from the Diary of Anne Frank, as a chapter, in English, not sure when, must be 6+ years ago. But at that time, I absolutely disliked the chapter. I was also wondering, how could I ever complete the entire book, if someone gave it to me. This was me as a teenager. (Errrrr ~~~~~)
Quite unusual is it? The book is written by a teenager herself, but disliked by a teenager like me. I dont have an answer as to why?? I disliked it. May be my english was very poor, or may be I was a mugpot. I have no clues.
(Being a mugpot has its own advantages, but I feel it has more disadvantages, especially when it comes to Literature, Here's a LIVE Example !!!!)
But once again a BIG THANKS TO STRAND BOOK STALL, they have given me another chance to read the entire book. This time I am not only having a great time reading it, but also enjoying it to the CORE, its absolutely beautiful, can't imagine how the time is flying by as I am reading. Its a classic in itself.
FAQ - Anne Frank fondly called her diary Kitty, "Dear Kitty"
Part II coming up very soon, hopefully I get enough time to wind it up.
Yippy,
Happy new year guys!!!!
Thank you Strand !!!!
Its been almost 2.5 years since I graduated. I do love reading books. Since my childhood days I used to read quite a bit of books(Not a voracious reader though). I started out with Famous Five. As a member of "Friends Circulating Library" in Subramanyanagar, I used to read a lot of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. But since I relocated to Bangalore South in 1999, it had been hard for me to find a library over here.
Also I was doing my engineering, so it was kind of hard for me to read anything non technical and I accept I was a bit lazy too.
But its since 2006, I am back reading some good titles, all thanks to Strand Book Stall and Strand Book Festival. Its among these wonderful books, I found a great companion.
Above all I also came across a book by Robin Sharma, which has tremendously inspired me. I have reclaimed some of my lost confidence, because of the writing of Robin Sharma. I wish there are more such Strand Book Festivals in the coming years, hopefully I get to read more.

Billy Joel - Piano Man - (1973 )
One of my all time favorite songs. This song is about people who had the opportunity to achieve something great, but could not. So I wish to inspire myself, to constantly nurture my dream and chase it till the end !!!
