I go zig-zig-zag, off on my daily mission. Mind the crooked tree. Mind the istri lady with her iron and heap of clothes. Mind the broken pavement and the pigeons cooling their feathers in mud puddles. Watch-watch-watch... And here it is! Book Uncle's Lending Library on the corner of St. Mary's Road and 1st Cross Street, with books spread out on planks of wood and a small tin can for donations. Just to help out, if anyone wants to. Here is the sign in faded old letters: Books. Free. Give One. Take One. Read-read-read. Excerpted from Book Uncle and Me by Uma Krishnaswami All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
