Miles to read before I sleep.

~<0>~


I have been buying a lot of books lately, most of which are collection of poems. I like to pick a book randomly and read some lines everynight before i go to sleep. 

My collection includes :-
Ghalib
Sahir Ludhinavi
Iqbal
Majruh Sultanpuri
Zauq
Mir Taki Mir
They are all Urdu poets. Need to add Gulzar and Hariwansh Rai Bachchan to the list.
Then i have a collection of poems by Shiv Batalvi(my favorite poet) in punjabi and a book which has some poems by Edgar Allan Poe. 

I also have to start New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Liked reading Twilight by her a lot.
I have two other books which I am reading parallelly one is 'The Juggling Act' by Jug Suraiya and another book about some entrepreneurs and their success stories. I am trying to get some inspiration as well as good sleep from it.

And while I am talking about books, I would like to thank Ko for getting me that wonderful bookmark. Thank You Ko :)

I will end by quoting a shaer by Iqbal I read yesterday --

"Koi shokhi to dekhe jab rona thama mera
kaha bedard ne kyun, aapne mala piro li hai
 jafazu* keh diya maine magar tumne bura mana
khafa kyun ho gaye, ye aashiqo ki boli tholi hai"
*Zaalim

I have lost quite a few things recently. 
-- 2 shirts(a blue and a black with red stripes)
-- a book of short stories (I am gonna kill the person who has it)
-- a pen (not important, I must have left it somewhere)
-- a pair of socks, and
-- a comb.

Does any one know about their whereabouts?
