To my personal library. I had stopped buying books recently, maybe at some unconscious level I had realized that I already have enough on my plate to last for the next few years. Entered Crossword reminding myself to just check for a magazine (and then get out) but could not resist a little wandering around. Non fiction shelf was a big disappointment, but bought two works of fiction. I guess that puts to rest the popular misconception than I don't read fiction >:). But I am a bit intimidated now. I mean, I have these stacks upons stacks of wonderful books at home, and I keep adding to it, and it just grows, hardly shrinking, and if that, only by a little. I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations to see how much time would it take to finish and came up with the same conclusion mentioned in my second statement :). I think I can need to do something about my reading speed (Advice, suggestions are welcome). Also need to look for some large timeslots in my schedule, currently, max I read is for something like 1hr. Gtg fellas, lot to do :p.
Ohh, as for what I bought, take a look here and here. And I did not find the magazine. The guy at the counter told me that they order only one copy, and clearly someone else beat me to it.
Enjoy !!

don't stop buying books. you have been and will be my inspiration. i always dreamed of having a great "library" like yours. ( stacks upon stacks is a very bad word for it ). remember, "real" mohsin is "void" without books.
thanks for the kind words man.. :)
chalo, now you have given me inspiration to read.. (and I will keep making additions for sure..)
good na..keep buying n then lending em...

Yeah buddy point taken, u DO READ (atleast buy) fiction! and to read more, only two things: 1. find a book which will grab u so much that u wud read beyond ur 1 hr, of course eating into ur sleep time :), but worth it 2. improve ur reading speed..some pointers @..http://classiclit.about.com/od/howtoread/ht/aa_improvespeed.htm espec #2 & #3 really helpful n easier to follow, i taught myself to read that way.
n grt, ur into fiction now, we can optimise costs by sharing books :P
Yippee.. :p I do find books that eat into my sleep time now and then but then it affects the next day..
Thanks for the pointers, I was already practicing #6 (too much, some wud say :p) w/o being aware..
n I like the optimize cost thingy (with current economic climate n stuff).. Now I won't have to starve myself.. :p
