Wonderful answers, Amin. I learned so much about you through this little meme. Glad to have tagged you.

I quite like the sound of the book, One Rupee and a Bundle of Rice, too. Will definitely look for it in book stores here.

Thanks for playing. You did a fantastic job.

Atyllah, I love the idea of trying something even harder to make it seem easier! I have Ulysses on my shelf – well hidden! Actually, I do like long books. It’s just that sometimes when you pick up a book you can’t get along with it. It just ‘feels’ wrong. Portrait of an Artist is one of those, I’m afraid.

What a great way of learning about you – thanks for sharing.
Don’t be daunted by the Portrait of an Artist – if you want to be inspired to read it, try reading Ulysses – after that Portrait will seem like a doddle

No problem, Roberta, although I’m sure your readings would have been interesting to us.

You know, Amin…after consideration, I’ve decided not to play Tag.

My readings are not that interesting and although I am flattered, I would much prefer working on my own stuff for a while and continuing my craft.

I hope you will understand.

Thank you for the consideration.

Okay Amin. I have saved your questions and comments to a word document and will probably spend the better part of tomorrow trying to post something as wonderful as you have.

My dear friend Jasmine was also “tagged” by Bhaswati. I feel like I’ve been missing out on a large part of life over here.

She’s asked me how this works. I will send her the template I create.

You are such a dear person to think of me for this “tagging”. I really appreciate the compliment!

Lotus, I’ve found out a little more about the book ‘One rupee and a bundle of rice’.

It seems it was written by Margaret Plummer in 1967. I do remember little bits of it, especially about kites and mixing glass paste into the string to cut other kite strings, I think. I thought it sounded dangerous at the time and now I’ve sliced my own fingers while cooking I’d definitely stay clear of doing it!
