Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Today, I will take Maui to Hippocampus to return her library books and renew her membership. Hippocampus is a very nice library for kids, toddlers to adolescents, which we all like to visit. There are regular events for kids like book-reading, wall-painting, cooking (!).

Talking of books, I think I am going to dump my British Council Library (Bangalore) membership. It’s a bit of a distance from where I stay, the collection is pitiful, the charges steep. A year ago, too, I thought quite the same. Moreover, I have not gone to BCL since April and cannot claim to have missed it much. I think I will put that money in to pay for some of my guitar equipment.
Beginning of this year, I had a goal to read 52 books by December 31. I am so pathetically far away that I will not even dare to blurt out the number. But its OK, as the year has gone by, I have been doing equally interesting things and have been keeping quite busy.

Thanks, Preeti. I registered and browsed through some of the books. Great for people who know exactly what they want to read. I may end up spending a bunch of money behind books that I will finally not read completely. I will post if I go/subscribe.
