muse
food for both the mind and stomach...
I now have so many unread books lying around the house that I don't know which to start on next! I've successfully procrastinated for a while - pretended to make a start, by reading two pages each from four books - but I'm pretty much still where I started!
Read an interesting article on why bookshops will die. I buy about half my books online, and another half at bookshops. I buy books I know I want to buy online. I enter bookshops to browse, lounge, flip through books and often surprise myself by what I end up picking up! With the way online sites are adding new features, brick and mortar bookshops need to do a lot to keep pulling the crowds in.
I think I will start on Execution : The discipline of getting things done - a recent gift from the corporate honchos at work.
I've found a new hole-in-the-wall near home that caters to the local populace with ten rupee thalis, and sixteen rupee "chicken rice". Most people at my workplace wouldn't be caught dead eating there, but I'm crazy enough to have taken a liking to it - when I'm too lazy to do anything proper about a meal (and not lazy enough to eat a pack of Frito Lays). They're very nice to me  - probably because I'm the only visitor who uses four wheels to get there!
Come November, Hyderabad is full of stalls springing up to serve haleem - a delicious muslim speciality, served primarily during Ramzan. Will go try some stalls - ideally in the older city; should be safer than our adventures finding it "off-season"...
