One more Bhyrappa's tale...

I just finished reading one more S.L.Bhyrappa's book- "Nirakarana"...
Though the title attracted me a lot and at the same time even the prologue but it wasn't such a good book altogether...
First thing that influenced me to read that book was the fact that it was Bhyarappa's and the next factor was the plot- the protagonist deciding to give his children off for adoption because of the fact that he cannot look after them or rather there is no one (a wife) at home to look after them...
But this process of selling off the chidren gets over within just 25 pages of the book...
Next comes his quest for realising the ultimate truth and his theory of detachment for which he goes to Himalayas only to realise that he is not capable of doing it...
That part was really boring indeed, i can imagine that protagonist's condition there in the himalayas!!!
When reading that part itself was so boring being there actually could be unimaginable...
At the end though, the story comes back to his children and his return to the normal human life discarding the life of a 'Saadhu'...
Whatever, it was an exceptional story....Cannot be termed as completely bad or completely good.

Happy Holidays

My school kids will be back to school this week after a long hoiliday...
Ofcourse they will all be feeling homesick once they are back...
But as for me it's the starting of holidays:))
So it's time to have more fun, watch more movies, read lots of books, have frequent fights with my mom and sis plus not to forget more shopping for the next month's Big Day...
Life couldn't be much better...
Only thing missing is sleep as i seem to be insomniac (both initial and termination):(
