I was tagged by three bloggies on the same day with this tag:
Neeku Satish Jaggu
Honestly I am not reading a lot these days except some magazines. So Neeku - I dont have any architectural books that I read on a regular basis....
Few week back g-man eluded to a book 'kafka on the shore' by haruki murakami - this reminded me to read the original Franz Kafka - the author.
If interested here is an online version in PDF of one of his few completed works A Short Novel: The Metamorphosis
So just in time for the tag I received the book yesterday that I had ordered :
The Metamorphosis and Other Stories - Franz Kafka
Now the Tag Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (since it just arrived - it was the nearest one)
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge the person who tagged you.
So here's what it says...
I stood all ready to go. but the horse was missing - no horse.
My own horse had died the night before from exertions of this icy winter.
My maid was now running around the village trying to scrounge up the horse, but it was utterly hopeless.
I knew it.
Now the 5 people I would need to tag -
Any 5 people who read and are interested can take this up from the blogroll....

I didnt understand the meaning of this tag yet... or as aneri said... ki har cheez ka jaroori nahi hai koi matlab ho!!!
but yes... i liked the cover of the book, so may be will pick up a copy to read... do temme how is it!!! :)
Cheers!!!
sounds interesting. tell me how the book is.
so, u need a horse. i'll find one for u? but u know how to ride????
wat a tag....seems purposeless to me!
hahahaha :)
I am just imagining this scene...
Hero ekdum new clothes pehenke, perfume maar ke, date pe jaane ko ready. But no car. Well, car is there, but it is snowed in, and wouldn't start...its winter you see. And this modern day hero has no maid, so he calls the rental car agency to arrange for something.
Hmmm...now that I set it in this day and age, it doesn't sound so funny :)
Ceedy: Thanks for doing it :) .... the book seems interesting ... I think I might get it this summer for leisure read..!
@Aneri: haha... funny interpretation :)

I so want to read Kafka man.
I had read some parts of Metamorphosis some time back and loved it.

1. how can one travel on horse if the weather is icy winter ... which I suppose imply lots of snow :)

Hi buddy :)
Sorry for not being a regular on your blog network, pal.
Its just that nowadays am totally tied up with office work + long working hours, so hardly any time left for "blog socializing"!
Today had some free time, so thought of dropping by and I must say, your new blog theme is absolutely RoCkInG :)
PEACE! This word comes to my mind when I look at that white bird in the back gound.
It also signifies the fact that you're a calm, focused person who also happens 2 be a nature lover (just like me!)
Keep it up dude :)
Take care!
Cheers!
hehehe
confusing tag..
btw m also obama fan..
Bhai, just wanted to let you know.
