Mumbai & Midnight!

One of my favourite things about Mumbai was the masses of books lining the streets.

I got Midnight's Children for R16! However, I discovered that the bargain price came with a price of its own as two pages were missing and worst of all the book ended on a comma with the last page missing! 

This was most distressing as I love the feeling of finishing a book and although I hate the ending of most books, being stuck on the plane wondering what happened is somewhat equally torturous. 

So last night I went to Exclusive and quickly read the last page which was a bit of an anti-climax. 

Overall, the book is amazing and I can't wait to watch the movie although I read that it is terrible.  

"To understand just one life, you have to swallow the world.” 

Do Too Much

"Go for broke. Always try and do too much. 

Dispense with safety nets. 

Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. 

Argue with the world. 

And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things-childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves-that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers."

Salman Rushdie
