Ik haseen nigaah ka dil pe saaya hai8230;
The one thing that strikes about Deepa Sahi is her laughter. It8217;s relaxing. The way reading is to her. 8220;Books take my mind off the rigorous routine that life can be, especially if you are in the media. When everyone8217;s talking the same things, you are meeting the same people, it8217;s books that bring in that fresh whiff of air.8221; So what kinds does she read. 8220;Broadly, all kinds 8212; fiction, anything on computers and even what they call pulp fiction 8212; Robert Ludlum et al.
A lot of my time goes into reading stuff right on the net. The latest I read was a take-off on Einstein8217;s theory of time. Then I8217;ve been reading Hindi short stories to brush up my language!8221; she laughs. And what about her favourites? 8220;Hmmmm, the last book I read that8217;s stayed with me is Biography of Geisha. Then there has been Only the Paranoid Survives8216;, and books on survival in the business world.8221; Hey, that8217;s interesting, and she adds another one to the list 8212; 8220;Love inthe time of Cholera 8211; a classic love story.
I read anything at random if it interests me, gives me a perspective on life, helps me find myself in the world so typically caravan8217;ish.8221; On her kind of good author, she says; 8220;Any author who doesn8217;t dismiss the details, some experiences as stupid8217;, for, sometimes, it8217;s these very trivial looking experiences that are most universal.8221; You said it.
