I am numerically challenged. I can’t remember phone numbers or number plates, or any other important information made up of numbers. It’s a malady I first noticed in the sixth grade. I would be reading in my room when my mum would yell for dinner; reluctantly I would look up the page number, shut the book and sulk my way to the dinning table. When I’d get back an hour later, I’d flip the book open in search for that memorized page number, but would mysteriously draw a blank. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t remember my page numbers. So when I discovered the bookmark, I became an instant fan. I began treasuring my bookmarks. And over the years from a random habit, it developed into a hobby. I am now a bookmark hunter. Wherever I go, I first scout the place for interesting bookmarks; and in a bout of self indulgence, I am putting up a few that I totally love …
A Japanese paper doll, by far the most gorgeous bookmark I have
Adding a bit of Mumbai to every story
In pure leather, from Norway
American and practically impossible to use, but it's just sooo cool
King Tut and his words on Papyrus
Beyond brilliant while travelling, discovered during a stop-over at Vienna
A wooden Tulip from Holland
A hand crafted banana boat on a Palm leaf, from Kerala
P.s.: If you find one that you think I should absolutely have, please do the needful …. :)
