I am tagged again. This time by Observer.
I am require to publish the 5th paragraph of the page number 123 of the book I am reading. He had to get back to his tagger to ask what if the page do not have 5th paragraph and answer was , the last paragraph in that case. So I asked him what if the book I am reading does not have 123 pages. :-) The answer, as I expected was - the last page in that case.
I am currently reading "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Page no. 123 does not have 5 paras, so here is the last para:
Clouds that gathered where ships were supposed to appear, and the passing of the day, slowly did the job of unbending my smile. It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion. Still, that second night at sea stands in my memory as one of the [exceptional suffering].
And now I have to tag other five. Do not despair, people - this is an easy one!! So, I tag:
Cuckoo [my favorite target]
Prashanth [tit for tat ?]
Maverick [he, too, wasnt one to idle about]

Heyy Sigma,, Aaj subah-subah ??
This is easy one, I'll take it.
But no more tags for me pls. I already have 3-4 pending from other so concerned bloggers. :P And all of them are big ones & need time to think which I am not getting. I want to write about many other topics first.
Right now busy trying to get things in place. Of course, not here on blogosphere.
BTW, This one is off-topic.
Do you have "Dil mein ek leher si uthi hai abhi" full ghazal ? I have one of 7:22 minutes but one stanza is missing in that. :((
Looking forward to get the review....on Life of Pi - so finally got hold of copy....righto....!!
Thanks for responding the tag.
I think tags become more like traps :) I tagged everybody with this one as I found it easy.
whooooops ! Im takin it, u'll soon see my para :)
Life of Pi is of if my favourite books...

@cuckoo: Lol! Ok .. no more tags for you [until someone marks one for me ;-)]. No, seriously ... but do let me know when you are free to take more :-D
@BTR: Yes .. I got hold of it a few days back ... I had queued my request with my neighbor (the person sitting in the cubicle next to mine) who was reading it. But I am not getting enough time to read these days ... lets see when i get aruond to the review part :-D
@JV: You are welcome :-) Well, perhaps too many of them will become like traps (like dear cuckoo here feels), but imho, in a moderate number they are a good way to increase interaction.
@Maverick: waiting for it ...
@Prashanth: Waiting for yours too. I got inspired to read this book after your and BTR's recommendations :-)
well its a good copy to live on your shelf.
Waiting for your review so that I can send my 2 bits of opinion...lol...

pps - Its all about coffee...he he he lol...!
Ha Ha... This dame is not going to 'sudhar' :P
BTW, I too have bought & kept "Life of PI". Remember my 14 books shopping some months back ? But when do I get chance to read.. no idea :(
BTW, your tag is done madam !
@BTR: Prophet - Khalil Gibran ?? I have already read that one (during my pre-blogger days :-)) ] And as for the coffee, as I said earlier, any time you like :-D regardless of whether or not I want to borrow a book.
@Cuckoo: Thanks for the tag!! Do let me know when you are free to take another one :-)
Yeah ... at times it happens with me too ... I will have some books lying on my shelf for a long time, before I manage to find time or mood to read it. I have two books by Nevil Shute sitting pretty in my book rack for about two months now ...
