My dear friend Vishweshwar who does not feature ever as a commentator here in the blog posts, reads all my posts and comments on facebook when the mood takes him. Another friend Jaganmohan, with who my readers are familiar, also reads my blogposts and is himself a web poster with his own website to stream videos live. He too does not comment on my blogs but prefers to discuss matters directly with me.
Vishweshwar, in Sanskrit is a compound Vishwa Eshwar meaning, The Lord Of The Universe. A name for Shiva.
Jaganmohan is also a compound Jagat Mohan, meaning Charmer of the Universe. One of the names for Krishna.
These two friends named after very powerful Gods decided to bestow their munificence on me for Twenty Fifteen and have gifted me with the only things that they think I lack, books.
Vishweshwar gifted me with The Hot Belly Diet. I hope that he will comment on this post as to quite why he thought that I should read it.
And Jagan, was more generous with three books; Secrets Of Karma, The Gone Girl and The Fault In Our Stars. Jagan tells me that these three books have been read by him and he wants me to share his joy in having read them.
My cup runneth over. Thank you Vishweshwar and Jagan.
I am fascinated by the concept of a “teen edition” for the Secrets of Karma. Have there always been teen editions? Or did Karma produce a new, teen oriented presentation of itself for our era? Of course a secret really can’t be a secret these days unless it is published, so that part of the title is clear.

The author practices his craft in the USA Looney. It is for the teens there. Jagan must have felt that mentally I am just about equal to a teen in the USA and has gifted me this book.
I used to have T-shirts that said, “Too many books, too little time.” It’s nice to have a choice, though. Lucky you!

I think that I will get some of my t-shirts printed with that slogan too.
I have read The Fault in Our Stars, it’s a favourite of all of my kids.
I wish you good reading!

This is what Jagan told me too. He said that it is a moving story and he has also seen the film. After reading the book, I may decide to get the DVD too.
I have watched a movie with similar title – Faults in our stars. I think the book is made into movie, wonderful movie.

Shackman, I have just decided to get some of my T-shirts printed with the slogan, “Too much to read. Too little time.”
I recall a slightly different version – So many books, so little time – but they both work

Do they? I wish that they would!
I am curious about the “teen” in Secrets of Karma, Rummy. Are you living your second life?

“The Hot Belly Diet” … Sounds more like an Indian ‘take-way’ from a health food store. I think I’ll give it a miss … 🙂
