Dream comes to reality
I deposited my salary cheque today in account and was surprised to know that the account has some balance on the month end. It was like a dream come true for me that I have left enough cash to buy books on month ends.
After work I went to Oxford book store. A first book I saw was Amen by Sister Jasme, which was kept in new arrivals. I was looking for this book for quite a long time. It was much debated book since it reveals corruption and sexual abuse in Churches.
One of my friends was also looking for the same book and he had asked me to buy a copy for him. But the book was not available then. He thought that I didn’t want to buy it for him so avoiding.
He was repeatedly irritated me by reminding for the book. But what to do men it was not in the market. I gave him a list of leading book stalls from where he could have got it.
Finally he got the book two days before me. One of his friends bought it for him from Crosswords. Again the chap called me to tell this. Now what will I do if he has got the copy. I think he wanted me to feel jealous because he specifically told me that it is not available in any other bookstore.
I forgive him because he does not even know bookstores in Mumbai. Now I also have it and I can read with better speed than him.
Another book was A Case Of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif. The book was available in paperback edition and in affordable price.
Moral of the story is dreams come into reality sometimes.
