Finished reading 'Myth = Mithya'. So, naturally I felt a little bereft today. Went to Crossword and picked up a few books. The coffee and the baked Philadelphia cheesecake at Moshe's is pretty neat! I feel a little bad that I'm not living up to my resolve of not buying new books. But I swept and mopped the house today (the cleaning lady is on a holiday) so I think I deserved a little treat.
Here's what I got:
The Devotion of Suspect by Keigo Higashimo (Why? Because it's a Japanese writer and they seem to write with a sensibility I love.)
Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro (Why? Because of 'Remains of the Day' and 'When we were orphans'. Because he can write in a way that can make your heart ache. Because he can make your heart ache in a way that will make you feel glad for the pain because it at least means that you can feel.)
Then there was a quick dinner at One lounge at Koregaon Park.
All this and its just Friday. Although I will have to work the weekend, it feels good to take it nice and slow after a long while. I just wish the cleaning lady hadn't taken an off.
But never mind, grateful for all that is. Because there's plenty.

i loved Nocturnes (though leaky brains, have only sensory impressions of some parts of the book left with me, had read a borrowed copy). do write about it when you're done? would also highly recommend Ishiguro's The Unconsoled... was not the easiest of reads, but persevered because of a review i'd read online and ended up liking it lots.
