Read this while chomping on a McSpicy Paneer Wrap. And now I have to watch The Founder again.

105th of the year.

Sprightly swigs
From the chalice
Of incomplete moments.
They leave me lone
And glad
Accomplished
And mad
With a readiness
To give into the
Incompleteness
Again.
@Saumyakul Tales of Toyland, The Five Findouters and Dog, The Secret Garden, Little Men, Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice, The Black Tulip, Uncle Remus's stories.

What are your favourite children's books?
@Saumyakul I used to enjoy Mandrake comics quite a lot. Still do, but they have become so expensive :(
I have missed out on too many kiddie books in my childhood, but hey, catching up now! This is a very fun and simple tale, but the lasting message in this story stayed with me - in acts where children cross boundaries set by adults are signals of their creativity and potential. So nice!
