Completing my Book tag

Hello, I am a procrastinator! So, if there is no deadline looming at large, I am not going to get to that task anytime soon.

And the book tag from Mitr came without any deadlines:) Can I really be blamed?

I read Maximum city by Suketu mehta a week ago and that got me to this tag now. In my defense, this time procastination alone is not be blamed as I am stealing blog time during a hectic time at both work and personal level. Inspite of the constant chit-chat in real-life, I need this space to have my monologues:)

The tag came from Mitr and I am copying the rules right from her blog.
1. Pick up the nearest book
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the next 3 sentences
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge the person who tagged you

I also took a short cut to make my post wee bit more interesting.

From Page 245 of the book Maximum city by Suketu Mehta.
"
He avers that, contrary to his reputation, he loves India and wants to die for it. " There is no doubt about this. The country in which a man is born, a man does not become a traitor to that land. A man can only give his life for his country. That is a very big medal for him. That is a very big respect. When a man wants to join the military, he doesn't want to go there to play cricket or exercise; he wants to martyr himself."

"
That was Chota Shakeel who works for Dawood Ibrahim, sitting in Karachi and responsible for probably all the bombings in India, talking about what he feels for India.

I am sure, Mitr isn't going to hunt me down for this minor deviation of mine. If I show her the Page#123 of the book to this page, even she will agree, this was the right choice, baby . And she has tagged all of 2 people I know in blogdom. So there, I can tick that one also from the list.

More on the book in my next post.
