I used to read books often. I got a chance to read Memories of midnight of Sidney Sheldon. I borrow it from my company's library. I hadn't read any novels before, except Perry Mason series. So that gave more interest to read Memories of midnight. It portrays cruelty and intelligence of Constantin Demiris, a tycoon. It propelled my fond of reading. Last weekend, I went to Moore Market for a glimpse and found lots of book. I bought Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline, Windmills of the Gods, Tell Me Your Dreams & The Best Laid Plans and Jackie Collins's Hollywood Husbands & Lucky (books of my taste). I have started reading Hollywood Husbands on 50 pages/day basis. I guess I will post a mini review on this book very soon.

My first glass of wine
I went for a team dinner at Park Sheraton after a hard working day. I hadn't have a cup of wine,but I had few drops that didn't disclose its taste. To my surprise, wine was included in the dinner package. Without any reluctance, I ordered for wine. I was waiting for my first cup of wine, in between some papads were served as appetizer. I wondered why the star hotel's prices are exorbitant, the papads gave answer for my question. Those papads were really good and mouth watering. A green empty wine glass was placed in front of me, that glass had broken my confidence that I could drink a full glass of wine.
Finally the much awaited wine was served in a narrow glass, it was a white wine. It tasted yucky at my first sip. My throat started to burn. Oh God! Have I punished myself. I still don't understand why people are addicted to alcohols. It took half a cup of water to kill the burning sense. With no experience, I gulped it as water. After few imbibes, I felt a little dizziness. So to make myself steady, I went for a refreshment. When I returned back to my seat, I found one more glass of red wine. This one was an Australian red wine served in a wider glass. A few ml of white wine was being in the first glass, there came the third, an Argentine wine. That stunned me. I guess that it is impossible for a beginner to drink three glasses of wine. I had decided to drink all three glasses, but I managed to complete only two of them. I was panicked whether it could lead to unconsciousness. There were no differences in the tastes of three wines, they all were disgusting to me. Finally, I have decided not to experiment in any outing.
