Book : Lost and found

 

Has it ever happened you sleep off reading a book, wake up to find the book is missing?

At hindsight and for others it sound funny, for a book lover this is very traumatic.

unable to find my kindle since I woke up this morning 🤔

Swept the floor, changed bedsheets, looked inside pillow

I had slept off reading,  then I remember,  in between I woke up and switched off the light

First thing I looked for it in the morning

Fir kisine chupa Diya hai 😈 Was it some black magic or after effect of the previous day discussion on how we manage book reading time?

Amma said Rajesh would have. I asked him he said he and Krishna has not taken So I sleep on time

 Looks like I kept up horizontal and it slid down to vertical position,  it was inside another book.Obviously would not keep like that

 It was on the bed side dressing table

Yes last night just finished reading Namboodiris arrival in Kerala for our BOTM read and zoom am unable to find my kindle today morning.  Got it just now

Have read a story in Malayalam where the protagonist is reading the book 'Small is Beautiful' which later goes missing by the time he wakes up or so. From then on, other things go missing one by one, bigger and bigger things. At one point, he finds his one eye missing 😀 The story doesn't end there.

I remember it was a story collection by V R Sudheesh.   To be honest, I didn't like the story much. And not sure, maybe I would like it if I read again.

 

I was in 7th grade. I had borrowed this Scholastic Book called Gooseberry Park from the Library. On the return train journey to Kochi, I was re-reading the story. Woke up in the morning to realise the book I had kept in the pouch near the birth was missing.

 

I must have cried so much. Ended up paying fine in the library as well.

 

Years later, during my final year of graduation, I spent a lot of time trying to remember this book's name. In a stroke of absolute luck, my friend had this copy with her. She gifted it to me. I still cherish it. ❤️
