Sausage Puffs

It's been a lovely weekend - have got some rest, my fair share of cooking, went for the Sharjah Book Fair, which is termed to be one of the largest book fairs in the world. The crowd was enormous... must have been because it is the last day today, but I was told that the crowd has been good everyday. I felt that it just goes to show that people still appreciate reading. I was happy that a lot of youngsters were vigorously going through the titles available and convincing their parents to buy it for them. I, as usual, picked up quite a bit of books, much above my budget and have promised myself to read them rather than leave them somewhere to hatch eggs!!! Reading was a habit that I so voraciously used to do, during my study days and my initial marriage days. Once studies in the form of MBA and then kids later came, the habit went into a self-imposed decline. In between, I tried to reignite the habit by joining a library but again faltered. I still love books - it can be about anything: fiction, non-fiction, religious, mystic, comics, etc - and love the feel of holding books and sinking myself into it, however, time constraints have made me sideline my favorite hobby. One of my new year resolutions for 2014 should be start the habit with the same vigor I used to have before. And yes, 2014 is hardly a month and a half away... so fast, isn't it???
