On my shelf right now...

The bout of reading is here! You'll find these on my shelf right now...




















Autobiography of a Yogi - Mum had suggested this book to me a while ago and she keeps talking about what an interesting read it is. So I finally bought myself a copy while we were at The Self Realisation Fellowship in California. (which by the way is such a beautiful place!). Paramahansa Yogananda, a great saint, talks about his remarkable life dotted with saints and yogis, science and miracles, death and resurrection. I have to admit, I did find it a little hard to read when I started as the tone of the book isn't very modern. But as you go on, the book simply fills you with sheer wonder! It is a spiritual book and I'm very intrigued by philosophy, so this book is very interesting, in my terms.


Sacred Games - the adorable couple, H&A, (our very good friends) lent me this book. We share a common passion for good books and they promised I'd like it. And I do :) I'm still reading it. It's quite on the same lines as 'Shantaram'. It's set against the backdrop of the Indian underworld, the gangsters and the power-play. I think it's a great read.


The Food of India - It's a book on Indian food and has gorgeous, gorgeous pictures, I love it! It's my latest inspiration in the kitchen :)

Husby darling also picked up Dan Brown's Deception Point and since he's hogging it right now, I'll have to wait my turn :)
