Can you hear me singing like Madonna…touched for the very first time…oh yyes I sure am so happy today. A blogger friend called sucharita considered me worthy enough to be tagged. So finally I am also tagged …ooops my blog is tagged ... oh the strange ways of this wonderful blogosphere…….and you naïve ones if you want to know what this tagging is then go ask others and come back and tell me... let me be happy for a while. I don’t know what this means but I am not a fool not to know that it surely is something very desirable in the blogging world.
Sucharita also thinks that I read a lot. well I do read but next to not at all. I think I am closer to what I wrote on the blue bicycle blog as a comment some time back that my own life reads like fiction to me these days.... ah this book called life! I read , I chew, I digest till it becomes me. Well sometimes its like a comic book ...too many dialogues and visuals with no story line or very little progression. I look for the page no. 123 but all the pages are locked with each other its difficult to say which is which. and in this endless chapter of life there is no fifth sentence, there are just two sentences the first which is always there and the first that is final.In fact some of my friends will even say that this whole life is a sentence! no puns intended.
But surely I need a book today like no other day. I am tempted to peep into one of Osho’s so that I can give you some nuggets of wisdom…but the rule sez what you are reading or whatever is next to you.
so ….
I look around fervently, sincerely, religiously…a book I must find and what I found strangely lying next to me is a book even more strangely written by me. And what was it doing there? It was picked up by me after it saw publication a year back for some references for the academic emergency for reading just two days back.
Here it goes like this…the name…That Inly Touch of Love, Shakespeare’s Women: A Psychological Insight. Its about all the comic books Shakespeare wrote as tragedies with the not so bold but very beautiful women in them. O Shakespeare lovers forgive me …remember the quality of mercy is like....well you know whatsit like.
sixth line onwards…
“Cleopatra stands transfigured on the brink of her death and is invested with a certain beauty and sublimity as she is emancipated from the constraints that she had built around herself , from the bourn that she had set and the imperfections that cling to human life.” ...................
Here are the friends I wish to tag (hmmm tagging them)
lady blue
sunshine
dawn
lynda lehhman
white rose
And now what you have to do is just the same…pick up a book that you are reading…open page 123…leave the 5 lines and begin with the sixth. also give the name of the author and the book …don’t forget to mention the name of the person who tagged you…and go ahead tag five others…
p.s. my server is causing me immense trouble. it has refused to serve me even for an hour a day.and i the never say die ...well lets see....

So I am honored to be the first one tagged by you. It is the first time Lady Blue has been tagged as well ...
so we SHARE the experience .... though I am not certain mine shall be so erudite. We shall see.
much affection,
lady blue
I loved the life = book/sentence analogy. Humour is the best medicine for life's ups and downs, don't you feel?
Academic stuff? Are you also an Eng Lit student/teacher/bhakt? What a co-incidence! BTW, you write sublimely well.
Will try to do it ;)
Liked the prose from Shakespeare...
Cheers dear
Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog by the way... very encouraging... KC
ahh .... woman - i see people are beginning to see the depth within your words. we too often merely peer at the surface. such a pleasure to meet a kindred soul who dives beneath the surface of life and brings up treasures and heartaches to share with us.
i would say a student of life, as we all are on this journey.
the tagging has been completed, and i've had 4 i think responses thus far - dear cynthesis has already posted hers. tagging gives us the opportunity to broaden our 'blogosphere' circle and maybe discover a new delight along the way.
enjoy the new friends, dear one.
much affection,
lady blue
daydreamer at writing chaos has posted his response on his blog, and Lotus has posted hers on my blog as a comment under the tagging post. so that makes 3. Both qugrainne and wordcrafter have made promises ... and i think K.C. might step up to the plate as well!
enjoy!

"There is a "me" that feels personally offended or resentful, and a huge amount of energy that could be used for solving the situation if it were not being misused by the ego. What is more, this "anti"-energy creates new obstacles, new opposition. Many people are truly their own worst enemy. "
I like this tag also! seems you read some really good books!
I hope all is well with you and look forward to coming back here to your home in blogville!!
