Whenever i step out of house, i dont have to bother for change as my lil one carry her purse too which is filled with coins only. Right from begining she is fascinated by coins and love to play with them. Initally i was reluctant to giver her coinis as there are always chances of putting coin in mouth but later on given into her repeated request.

Now we do lot of pretend play with her always shopkeeper and me customer.She loves to sell her all belongings in 1Rs /2Rs and max 5Rs….5 is really big no. for her :-)

Salvation of Saint – Book Review

By

Title : Salvation of saint
Author : Keigo higashino
Price : INR 350/-

I really liked the first book by same author and was thrilled to see second book up for review at blogadda. Applied promptly and also wrote mail to blogadda to choose me to review 
Got copy of book around angel’s bday so couldn’t read that time but it was worth a wait.
In one word I can describe it “unputdownable”. You start reading it and you just cant get up from your seat without finishing it. There is scientific approach in solving murder mystery and it’s really different to run the mill”whodonit” books..

Yoshitaka Mashiba ( Y from here on) is not happy with wife Ayane (A) as she can’t bear children. She is quite devoted wife n a cordial relationship exist between two. They often host parties to their close fren and business lawyer who are recently blessed with baby.
A runs her business of patch work and has a student H who helps her in running patchwork school.

Now Y has the affair with H and asked A to get separated without disclosing name of H. Obviously A feel upset coz of this and immediately leave for her parent house in different city.

H and Y decide to meet but when Y didn’t answer her call, she comes home to find dead body of Y. Shocked H call police and our favourite police inspector Kusanagi and the physics professor Yukawa comes into picture. There is also a new lady detective Utsumi. she always interpret the incident from female perspective withy typical female instinct which proves correct at most of time. Y has been poisoned through coffee which he made himself. ITs evident that A is behind all this as no wife will tolerate infidelity but how can she do a crime sitting 1200 miles away from crime scene. Also she has perfect alibi :-)

My take on book - Quite different from routine murder mystery. You know who has killed the person, you just need to figure out bloody hell how crime was committed.. I loved so many permutation, combination used in book for finding out how poison was mixed in coffee maker and end was good. Ample time coffee-making process has been discussed in book that you feel having coffee instantly..I wont say i have judged the end completely but i do understood where it’s heading as i have read previous book of same author. So i kind of know where the story is leading as there is sort of similarity with previous book:-( It would have been so good if we can discuss ending also in reviews..Sometime you just want to tell whole thing but you have to tightly control this urge and discuss the story in pieces without giving the whole stuff :-)

My rating – 5/5

May Photo A Day : Day 21 : I care about this

By

I care a lot about my books and now angel books too. I got habit quite late in my life. Neither my father nor mother was into reading. There was no good library at my school too. Once I started reading there was no looking back…
I just cant imagine my house without books and I m extremely careful about my books.

I dont like lending books as most of the ppl dont care abt returning. They take book as read n throw but for me there are my treasure.
I feel more possessive about my book than my clothes ;-)
Now my love for reading has gracefully passed on to angel too and she is also extremely careful abt her book collection.
Once my nephew cut one page of her dora book with some fancy scissor..Till one year whenever angel use to meet my nephew she use to repeat, I will not let him enter in my house as he spoils my book :-) :-)

This is new addition to her book collection

Source of light which gives inspiration, sooth you and calm you from deep inside..
That light for me is God. I do meditation and concentrate on red light…I dont do any idol worship and i have small place in my home where i have kept red light and regularly practice meditation there.

I m follower of Brahakumaris organisation from past 10years n whole heartedly belief in their philosophy of life..

After a tiring day just 15 min in peace rejuvenate me completely :-)
