A Dedication To His Memories !

I must have been around 12 years old. And on one lovely evening, my grandpa called me and asked, “ Sai, one of my wishes is that you must read atleast 6 good books an year. Six books of your choice, your interest and your love. Will you promise me to do that ? ”,

“Yes thatha.. I promise you :)”, I remember saying.

Little did I realize then, that my life was about to change with that quality ! Ever since that day, some of the most beautiful nights of my life were spent in the lovely world that my grandpa had asked me to go into. From the simple, down to earth, Indian world of R.K.Narayan to the complex, philosophical world of Paulo Coelho, I had traveled like a nomad. And through my travels i had experienced love through those books, friendship through those books, people through those books, inspiration through those books, evil through those books and god through those books !

And as I continue to travel and experience, I also now sit down to write this blog. A blog I dedicate to the person who first put me in touch with them - my grandfather. A blog that’d share my feelings and musings on all the books that had influenced me. A blog which would share what each experience had taught me. A blog that would review and rate each book from my perspective. And finally, a blog that I hope would inspire atleast one person to experience what my grandpa had asked me to experience years back.

It’s a dedication to his memories and my love !

Miss you Grandpa !
