Please quote, a line, a sentence or paragraph from your favourite books, classics, novels, short stories or poems, so that you can share your literary interests with friends in EK. It can be on any subject of your choice, and hope this will encourage the reading habit among all members.
It will be very useful if the name of the book and the author are also mentioned.


Here we go….

“They were nearly born on a bus , Estha and Rahel. The car in which Baba, their father , was taking Ammu, their mother to hospital, broke down on the winding tea estate road to Assam. According to Estha, if they had been born on the bus, they would have got free bus rides for the rest of their lives. So the twins harboured a faint resentment against their parents for having diddled them out of a life time of free bus rides !
They also believed that if they were killed on a zebra crossing, the government would pay for their funerals. That was what zebra crossings were meant for. Free Funerals ! “

“THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS” A very witty but humane story of the poorer classes of India.
A delightful book, full of humour, which won the Booker Prize in 1997.

by Arundhathi Roy

    The best place on earth SRI LANKA
    --Hamish--

    I was unfortunately born,
    I live with moan,
    From dusk to dawn
    My heart is torn,
    My hopes are gone,
    Now I’m left alone.
    I never did a crime,
    But my life tastes as a lime,
    I had a dream,
    it melted as cream
    I never lie,
    I no more cry,
    No one to ask why,
    Cuz im gonna die.

    Facebook is a social network,
    Where you find people with no work.
    Knowledge and education only by hard work,
    Thus will own you a company at Turk.

    Facebook wastes your precious time,
    Which you would taste in your future as lime.
    You never open your English, Maths and Science book,
    But you frequently access facebook.

    You always say;
    That you write the essay,
    As a team work,
    At the social network.

    There’s no one to take any measure,
    So you log on to facebook at your leisure,
    And find some pleasure,
    But not a treasure.

    It’s bitter;
    To write a letter;
    Asking for shelter
    So find your own track to glitter.

    You aren’t a creature,
    You need a bright future.
    Listen to lecture,
    And make up your own architecture.

    Which is better?
    You being the black hatter,
    By going around the world which would never matter;
    Or make the world come to your setter!!!

    It’s up to you to select the correct surge,
    That would emerge.
    It is your future;
    So get into the right juncture.
