Reading 

ComicsIf you haven't been able to read comics during your childhood, then you really have missed some real good things!

Walt Disney: Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Super Goof, Moby Duck, Gladstone Gandor, Beagle Boys (I love them all!)

Lee Falk: The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician

Classics Illustrated: All of them were and still remain a real hit!

Others: Asterix, Tintin, Blondie, Lucky Luke, James Bond, Modesty Blaise

Novels:  

Loved reading novels in my younger days - Sudden (Wild West Series by Oliver Strange),  Frederick Forsythe: The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, ... Alistair MacLean's novels, ..., Leon Uris - Battle Cry, The Angry Hills, ... Novels by James Hadley Chase and many more!

Of late, when I get time I try to catch up reading books written by Ian Stewart.

Short Stories: 

Leo Tolstoy's How much land does a Man Need, What men live by, Elias as also R.L. Stevenson's The Bottle Imp still remain my favorites.

Travel (Wanderlust)

I love to travel. Travel is that potion which makes one humbler. Click Wanderlust to see a small cache of my photograph collection.

Poems

 Click on Poems to read some poems written on the spur of the moment, a long time ago.

Painting

There was a time when I used to draw and paint a bit. But now these skills seem to have left me. Intend to revive and hone them soon (some pasted below), i.e. if my older self allows!  

The background is that of a Botch - a bird that was botched (mutant) in evolution which could stupefy, even Darwin! :-)
