Books-owned-list

Lying very safe somewhere in Bangalore are a hundred books. All of which I have read except 6, which I started, but never finished. Some very close to my heart. Some which I dont want to be caught reading. Why put it here now? There was this list sitting at the bottom of my google docs page. Brought back so many memories.

Hello Madhavan,

Some of your books are with me.
I still remember you transferring those to Priya's house. And I borrowed few.
I still have it in safe custody.

Thanks,
Simon
