It is not easy. It is specially difficult if you are merely 10 years old and eager to reach out to the world around you.

		<description><![CDATA[Serendipity: A chance walk-in into a bookshop. A chance sight of more than one translation of Siddhartha. An impromptu reading aloud activity by two individuals to compare the translations. Moments of bliss. Some pleasures in life have no substitute. Like reading aloud to someone with a receptive mind.

I also drive it to office and park along the kerb. And this is becoming a source of amusement.
