Lines in phases

Grand do they look
When I see them on others
Twitching and turning
Displaying naked truth
Of the springs
That ogled the faces
Knotting with wisdom

I cry aloud
‘Am I an exception’
Never
My turn is not far
To flaunt them in style
And be flattered by those lines
Drawn on my face too
After all
I am not a ‘Queenie’

Don’t be in haste
Relax a bit, Time
I am still a juvenile
Of life immortal
I shall wait for your lines
For some more time
To decorate me too
For I am a woman of patience

A reader's delight

I wish to find out how a human mind works except mine of course. I would be more happy if it is Umbarto Eco, author of many bestsellers.

After a long time, I got the courage to take the book, The Name of the Rose in hand and determined not to accept defeat. You may wonder why but the contents are way too much for my little brain. Even for an avid reader, this classic is a bit heavy dosage, I must say. Bravo, Padmaja! You have completed it.

Adso's innocence (of Melk) , William's intellectual brilliance (of Baskerville), mystery murders, the labyrinth, the cruel wars waged by the various Christian orders and to top it all the definition of laughter - all made me reel for a few days.

Full five stars from my side for the book.

At present, in the verge of finishing "Who says Elephants can't dance" by Former IBM CEO, Lou Gerstner. Contrary to Eco's style, this book is written in simple language. A must read book by every executive who wants to be the leader of his/her company.
